Went straight out to the village bar after the game. Had a few Estrellas with SWMBO* and some mates. Went home and watched The Many Saints of Newark with a bottle of nice red Carignan. The film was as shite as The Useless Twats of Aston.

* In my bad books because she couldn't help pissing herself laughing at the third (to be fair, after their first she had announced "you are going to fuck it up, aren't you. Typical Villa!").

Think about that Dean, a random French woman in SW France who doesn't really follow football knew what was going to happen.

Smith was out-managed by Lage who - bringing on Podence - took the initiative.
Hmmm, they didnt venture out of their half for almost the entirity of the game, then threw every attacker they had on the field when 2.0 down with 10 mins to go, then were desperately trying to get some of them into some kind of defensive shape when it was 2-2. DS is understandably getting some stick but that was no masterclass from them, just a lump it in the box and pick up the pieces. It worked but lets not make a dull unadventurous Wolves side into anything they are not.
They got very lucky and we melted.
It wasn't a masterclass from Lage, but he out-thought Smith by the end. Smith could have been more proactive at 2-0 without asking the team to hunker down too much.
But I was also agreeing that - in thd end - it was the players on the pitch that failed to see the game out, not Smith.

The Burnley collapse was bad enough, but this was even worse, can't remember the last time we were 2 up after 80 mins and ended up losing. Thought 2 of the goals could have been avoided, for the 2nd goal Targett has to take some of the blame, he was out of position and allowed Dendoncker to get round the back of him, leaving him unchallenged to make the cross, which resulted in them scoring. Then the 3rd it was a ridiculous challenge by Ramsey on Traore, no need for him to make it, there was plenty of defensive cover.

There are a few positives SJM was superb, one of these days he'll score a cracker and finish on the winning side, also thought Buendia had his best match for us, starting to show, why we paid all that money for him.

A grown man starting an account on a football forum just be an arse.  Didn't their parents love them or something?

Grown man - bit of an assumption that. The evidence doesn't suggest so.

Lets be honest and concede we lost the midfield yesterday, Axel was poor as was Mings second half as poor as he was good first half and we were beaten by the better team on the day

Didn’t their 2nd Originate from a free kick that was never a free kick?

Nakamba and one of theirs went for a 50/50 and their player went down like he was shot, rolled around in agony and the got straight up to take the free kick.
From that we never really cleared the ball and a few seconds later we conceded?

Form being a team that was over reliant on Joe providing the ammunition, we now seem solely dependent on Cash.
That has got to change.

That was Neves.
He and Countinho do it a lot.

The sad part is once their first goal went in you just knew what was coming.

I had a similar sense of foreboding and other posters have said the same.

We were still 2-1 up though so what does that say about our confidence in the team?

Stems from Mings. We need leadership and he lost his head. Meanwhile our best centre half by a country mile is playing so far right his average starting position is full back.

We need a centre half as good as Konsa. Had it with Mings. No more excuses. He's not a top half player and a new centre half should be a top priority.
