Villa vs Wolves - Post debacle thread

[wittonwarrior]

Axel awful and a complete lack of leadership and composure from pretty much everyone. Fundamentally though, the formation made sense away to man utd but that doesn't make it right for every other game

Correct re Axel but there must be a clause in the loan contract that he has to play x amount   No other explanation as to why he’s picked in front of hause

[Shrek]

The main issue is accommodating Ings and Watkins. It doesn’t work and we need Dean to grow a pair and do what’s best for the team.

Deans post match comments were very worrying, said there wa son momentum shift, it was clear from 75 mins there now in the ascendancy.

And on what planet do you bring Young on ahead of Hause?

Dean and the players should be ashamed at that collapse.

[Vegas]

I agree we shouldn’t play 3 at the back every game, but I think we probably should Vs Arsenal.

I’d probably have Konsa and either Mings or Hause as a 2 on current form, and add the other one if we play 3. Tuanzebe looks the worst of the 4 to me and isn’t our player.

[Clark W Griswold]

Yeah that’s about the only comeback I can think of to any leery dog heads ‘it was the shitty Man Utd players fault, we’d have beaten you with 11 Villa players’.

[steamer]

Apologies for Buendia not featuring in the last 20 mins, I must have gone for a pee when Ramsey replaced him

Seriously need to look at the back 3 Axel was crap and Mings is 50/50 for me. How can you get booked for wasting time at home with so long left after being warned to get on with it. It set the tone for rest of game.
Watkins and Ings not working , but Ings scores
compare the leadership of Coady urging the Dogheads on to us
Bad night and pissed off
Pull finger Dean or else the Knives will be out

[martin o`who??]

From the moment they pulled back the first goal it was depressingly predictable.

[Flamingo Lane]

It’s a bit annoying to read that a couple of our “best” players are out injured. How can we say that about Bailey and Sanson as they’ve barely played for us as yet. Maybe better to wait until they’ve played a dozen matches for us but, that could take up to about 2025!!

That's what I said a little earlier, and was reprimanded for spouting nonsense.

[PaulWinch again]

The 3-5-2 makes sense for certain games - not all the time. Dean needs to be more flexible and not wait for things to fail before changing.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Mings summed up by getting booked for time wasting , so poor on the ball all game and shanked it numerous times.

Longs balls ..ffs why do we still play so many aimless balls down the fucking lines over and over and lose possession !!!

Those are obviously the instructions. It wasn't the first time we've tried it and it's failed miserably. It took me about 15 minutes into the game to see we were once again relying on Mings to hoof the ball down the left to nobody and once again it was pointless. I'm sure I wasn't the only one.

[richtheholtender]

it had better be a one-off.

Been doing it for decades. Won't change any time soon.

[Flamingo Lane]

No semi decent manager loses a 2 goal lead with 10 minutes to go. Shameful result.

Paul Lambert would be ashamed.

Yes that useless twat Ron Saunders did it - waste of space......

Purely out of interest, when was that?

Spurs, 1979.

[mr-villa]

I wish I had a quid for every time villa have given away a two-goal lead or an injury time winner. The substitutions threw us completely and our composure collapsed. Big test of our power of recovery from this.

You wouldn't be very wealthy

It’s worked out today for large parts but with Luiz struggling, Cash getting injured and being over run in midfield, today’s substitutions should have also had a shuffle in formation. It was a monumental cock up.

Before the substitutions though we was getting quite sloppy with the ball right across the park. We went from being quite comfortable to absolutely shocking.

Luiz tiring didn’t help at all. These international games really play havoc for our team and we don’t have the resources like some teams with players playing the other side of the bloody world.

[Villafirst]

When Cash went off (yet another muscle injury?) Konsa or Tuanzebe should've gone to right back and Hause brought on. Stupid challenge by Ramsey in that position to give away the free-kick for their 3rd goal. Midfield was non-existent for the last 10 minutes. Hugely disappointing.....
