Brighton 0-0 Aston Villa post match thread

[Dave]

The BBC have it as Brighton 0-0 Emiliano Martinez

[LukeJames]

Not a single half chane,  worst performance of season for me. We looked fucked for some reason.

Martinez 9/10.
Defence 7/8
Everybody else 3

Grealish shouldve been at 10 after 50 mins.

Gracias Emiliano.

[ktvillan]

Poorest I've seen us in ages, not even a good period during the game. 

Emi won us a point.

The only others who played anywhere near their usual level were Targett, Mings and Cash.

The rest, including Jack, couldn't pass or control for shit and were giving it away for fun.

A point is a bonus.

[Drummond]

They are the form team (other than ManCity) and we nullified each other. They were better but rarely threatened.

It's another point.

[Pete3206]

Martinez brilliant, defence solid, everything else not so good.

Point gained

[PaulWinch again]

Dross display.

Positives -

- got a point
- Emi - beyond words
- Ezri and Ty were great.

Oh and Morgan did well.

[DB]

Awful, but we got point thanks to Martinez. Our midfielders were way off tonight but Brighton did well in not giving us any space.

[SoccerHQ]

Woah we were so bad. Easily our worst footballing display since March 2020.

Just take a point but if ever a game spelt out to the manager we need to refresh our midfield at times and SJM and Barkley shouldn't be undroppable it's that match.

Martinez motm by a mile. Pretty much all of our outfield players couldn't pass water tonight.

[manic-road]

Happy we took a point from that poor performance, wouldn’t be surprised if Marvellous replaces Dougie again for the next game, Barkley didn’t offer anything and every time we play Brighton our midfield get dominated. One positive is we go above Spurs in the league.

[Havencheese]

Is it actually possible to call a point, a smash and grab? Well I’ll call it that.

Emi, take a bow. Deserves better than that.

[rob_bridge]

Point gained v inform team.

Other than that well we need to get the midfield back who created time and options for Jack earlier in the season.

[Damo70]

Four points off the European places with games in hand 

[Sexual Ealing]

McGinn is a lovely bloke, and a good player, but he needs some time out of the team.

[fredm]

But that is all we do - give it to Jack. And now other teams have sussed us out we cannot change. Dean needs to get his thinking hat on and work on it. Plus some changes might change the mentality a bit, I think there are some in the team who think they are guaranteed a place.
