Aston Villa 2 The Arse 4 Post Match ah well what could have been thread

[Monty]

So we're turning on the best keeper in the world now? Exactly which of the goals was his fault? And before anyone says the last one, every keeper comes up for that and it wasn't him who overhit the corner.

God's sake.

[TonyD]

And yes, the so called shit housing from Martinez is getting really boring.  Waste time, they just fucking add it on at the end when there's even more pressure. 

He’s an embarrassment. 

[Goldenballs]

Can't wait until the window opens and we can sign some players who aren't piss weak fanny flaps.

[olaftab]

Why are we so ducking soft? Unai better get some points onboard before we are sucked into relegation mire.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Can we stop reiterating how many goals and losses we've attained over the past three games.Once was enough

[Scott Nielsen]

Seemingly doesn't matter what manager we have, we remain soft and panicky at the back.

Eleven goals conceded in three games is appalling. Eight at home in just two games. No matter the manner of conceding those goals, the manager does not get a pass just because he is Emery.

[Brazilian Villain]

Went for a walk on 60 mins expecting at least a point when I came back. Didn't expect a repeat of the Lesta scoreline, well pissed off with that capitulation.

[Risso]

"We want attacking football! Just entertain us!"

[turns out to be risky]

"Fock's sake Villa bunch of drips"

Look, it's not good enough, but we did just play the top two in the league and ran one of them right to the wire. If it's building towards something I can live with it. If it doesn't, well, we've been there before.

This is what happens when you expect different things from the same mostly shit team. Having a manager who could organise a defence would be nice though.

[Goldie.7]

Martinez fully to blame for that predictable defeat with his pathetic time wasting antics. I even got the correct score right.

I'll resume the 4-2 punts for Chelsea on April Fools' Day. How fitting!

[SoccerHQ]

Back to front we're just not good enough v these type of teams.

Arsenal played 2-3 forward passes and were straight on the edge of the box time and again.

If we had four CMs on the pitch at one time we have to be better at positioning and sticking toes in to try to stop the ball getting towards the box.

I assumed when we put Ramsey on he'd just do a similar job to McGinn but Saka was basically one v one against Moreno for much of the second half which should not be happening with the shape we had on the pitch.

As soon as it went 2-2 we were basically clinging onto the point bar the odd counter attack. Again which team had a free week yet were second to pretty much all the 50/50s?

Feels like season over now. We'll win a couple shortly to get to mid 30s and pretty much safety but we have to start expecting a bit more eventually yet the club just dosen't look like it has it in regardless of who's in the pitch or dugout.

God's sake.

It's possible to admire his ability and deplore his shithousing.  Not at fault for the goals today, IMHO, but karma comes around eventually.

[PaulWinch again]

We can score but we’re too much of a soft touch. Can ignore the 4th, but the other 3 were down to a mix of poor errors and just being too slow to close down. We have got to stop conceding so many goals.

[VillaBoy_23]

Same old story on repeat forever. The football equivalent of head butting a wall over and over again.

[Monty]

And a manager who's won Europa Leagues plural with innovative, defence-first football now can't organise a defence?

Sure, but it seems new to me, we seem to love it when the result goes our way.

This, this and this.
