Aston Villa 2-2 Always bitter Sam’s Bitters post match thread

[Legion]

First business this summer, in for their man Pereira.

He came across as being the best player on the pitch by a country mile.

Delighted for Keinan, well deserved goal. He should have been on 10 minutes earlier.

We deserved a draw.

McGinn, Traore & maybe Luiz need to be on the bench next season.

Ramsay looked good & moved things quicker, although Barkley wasn't bad.

We could offer them El Ghazi in exchange

Much better 2nd half, delighted for Keinan a poacher's goal, shame Wes didn't score, that would have been something.

[Nunkin1965]

OP is spot on.  Lucky as fuck point.

Thank God for Martinez and the tenacity of Davis.

Otherwise, not much else apart from the fact that McGinn nearly gave the ball away every time he passed it.

Why are Martinez saves lucky, but theirs not?

How do you have 70% of the ball and nigh on 3x as many shots on target, but end up being lucky as fuck?

Decent game for me.
Thought we were great second half and deserved at the very least a point.
Albion played like us at the end of last season and like all sides scrapping around  at the bottom are dangerous opponents.
Really pleased for Keinan aswell.
And sorry but lots of positives from our second half display.

You either support Villa or you are wedded to you're own opinion.
If there is one thing I like to prove me wrong it's the team I support.
There's plenty to question, plenty to criticise but my God I'm happy enough tonight.

Well fuck me, I thought that was the best we've played for some time. Barkley was nowhere near as bad as I thought he'd be, JM dictated a lot of the play and with the exception of Traore, everyone gave it a go.
All things considered, not bad.

Still we could be where they are....

Exactly this. Taking the poor opposition into consideration, but the best we’ve played in weeks. Well worth the point and probably deserved the win, given the fact Davis hit the post a few minutes earlier. If anyone was fortunate it was them with a hugely soft penalty (even softer than ours) and a lucky own goal.
I actually don’t get the negativity tonight.

Delighted for Davis,  but it's getting harder to defend these dreadful displays.  It's as bad as anything served up by Bruce during his tenure.

Desn Smith may not necessarily get the sack, but NSWE need to give him and Purslow a severe talking to in the Summer.

If you think we are worse now than when Bruce was in charge you obviously didn't go in Bruce's tenure

We really wasn't that bad.

Didn't say worse.  I said as bad as.

It wasn't though, was it? Bruce was dishing out his slop in the division below.

[SoccerHQ]

Reminded me of a championship game that, end to end with some very dodgy defending from both.

First half I don't actually think we were that bad. Poor in second half until last 15 minutes when we piled on the pressure again.

Average point, makes getting past 50 much harder.

Many questions the manager must work hard to solve in the summer.

I am happy with the second half effort and the equaliser but we were mostly ineffective.

True.  But Bruce hadn't spent the amount of cash Smith’s been given

If anyone fancies a sense of perspective, this is what our flared-trousered, Hi-Tec trainers-wearing cousins are saying about it:

Quite an enjoyable mess tbh, thought it was one of our better recent performances. Delighted for KD.

Ramsey did well and lifted us.

There's an entire recruitment department that'll tell you Smith doesn't spend the cash.
