Fucking cheats vs Aston Villa post match thread - we won the 2nd half 1-0

[Allan C]

Sorry but we only started playing when they switched off. We keep picking Bailey when he’s clearly not good enough and we now have no choice but to play Watkins. Duran must surely start next game, McGin too. The summer must see a good clear out and real quality brought in

[Beard82]

Disappointing first half - very disappointing - 3 soft goals.  And not enough fight.

Better after the subs - think McGinn for ramsey in this kind of match - and maybe cash for young - as think his energy helped.

Bailey and Emi2 still far too inconsistent.  Thought Duran looked good - would be tempted to give him a run instead of Bailey as his strength is a big plus and a great strike

Phil looked a level above when he came on - not sure what we do with that fact - but maybe, just maybe he isn’t down yet. 

Chambers was thrown in at the deep end and sunk to be honest.  I think he would be a better DM than CB. 

Think we made it far too easy for them overall.  And I think we saw the difference in quality of cheating Joe against anyone on our squad - apart from maybe Phil’s little cameo

Well done to Ollie well taken and didn’t get injuried. 

Hopefully more competitive against Arsenal and then some easier games for us to see what’s next

Greasy should have been booked for simulation. Just can’t understand what var look at. It looked like a dive even in real time and, even more so in slow motion.
However, if we are going to compete with these “big” teams, we need to go at them from the off not when the game is done and dusted. Not having a go at Emery but, for me, the points we’ve gained since he arrived, seem to be just a new manager bounce again.

All my mates (and a good number on here) have called out Bailey and Digne for being shite for ages and I’ve always defended them. It’s hard to now. Duran and Moreno are way more dynamic.

[LeonW]

Taking anything from this fixture is a bonus. We did well to make life more difficult for them in the second half but silly mistakes and poor ball use cost us again. Duran and Coutinho looked good when they came on and Ollie took the one chance he got which is all we can ask. I’ve seen enough of Bailey to know that he does not fancy it at all when he comes up against a physical opponent. I’m not sure he’s actually that much better than Bertie.

[Risso]

The first half was dismal and we had no fight or organisation whatsoever. Second half was better but they’d taken their foot off the pedal.

Why Emery keeps picking Bailey and Ramsey I have no idea.

Never mind Traore not sure he’s better than Trez or El Ghazi.

Or Digne

Ramsey's form has somehow fallen off a cliff.

Yeah, I think Digne may well find himself getting moved on in the summer.

I'd also give up on Bailey, it's just never going to happen for him.

[Beard82]

Shocking to think we payed 25m for Digne - nit sure what we thought we were getting but he has been poor for the most part.

Why would you post this?

One of the top three earners, isn't he? Still, what Stevie wanted, he got.

Because it contains upsetting footage.
