Aston Villa vs Sheffield United Post-Match

[TopDeck113]

If we're looking to point the finger of blame for the end of the home winning run, it's on Legion.

[Bad English]

Another early post match THREAD started by BE and we score.

We need him to start the next one now

I just don't have the willpower, training and sheer motivation to do it week inw week out. I'm not PWS you know!

[Risso]

That was shit. Happy Christmas.

[Nelly]

Heartbroken that I won't get to see us top of the league. Utterly heartbroken.

We may yet do! Just not this gameweek.

[Somniloquism]

Whilst I can see why the goal was chalked off, how is a little tug of the arm deemed a foul when a two handed push into an attacker's chest not?

Well done lads for fighting back.

I have seen lots of two handed pushes into the backs of players, and if the ref doesn't give it, VAR never seem to over rule it. Watkins against wolves, the Newcastle attacker for their controversial goal, another striker but I can't remember when, and now again tonight.

A win for the Arse tomorrow and we’re 2nd at Xmas. That would have been dream land a year back.

[Toronto Villa]

A point on the back of a very rare home performance is a point gained in hindsight. But most certainly 2 blown points given the opportunity. We were way too slow at times. Too pedestrian and didn’t even test the keeper who we know is suspect. 4 shots on target isn’t good enough with all that possession against the bottom side in the league.

[KevinGage]

Gene Wilder does it again, the wanker.

If you were a martian sent down to watch a football match with no awareness of recent form, context or anything else (this also applies to Micah Richards) you'd say that's two evenly matched sides.

The shove on Watkins was a pen. The handball one, they didn't show enough to see if it was lower than his sleeve line. Ramsey fouled the keeper

Christmas just about salvaged, I'll go and get the turkey out of the bin.

[Deano's Mullet]

Feels like a win. Happier than they will be.

We've lost 1 game in 14. The home win was always going to come to an end at some point. We haven't lost and still beaten City and Arsenal. I thought we'd lose to Brentford and beat these. Onwards and upwards.

[Goldie.7]

Two blatant pens not given, perfectly good goal not given but we never gave up.

We look like we're running on empty to me which isn't surprising considering our league position and European fixtures. It's only going to get tougher.

I will take anything in January even two more decent loans.

We have to cut out the attitude where we think we will 'turn up and we'll batter them' malarky.  Moved the ball way too slowly from the back.  Bailey and Diaby got in each others way and tried to take the piss by walking it in.  Three shots on goal all game isn't enough.  We do not have that player to open up the opposition in parking the bus circumstances.  Defo two penalties missed by VAR but what a surprise that Carragher talks all over the commentary about not allowing them instead of shutting up and letting them do their job like commetators do in cricket?  Disallowed goal was so soft and the second phase rules out?  Are they Arsenal fans on VAR tonight? Fucking frustrated but this is why we need to keep doing our own thing and stop listening to the crap around us.  We need a replacement for Kamara and erm, a player like their goalscorer.

[Smirker]

A win for the Arse tomorrow and we’re 2nd at Xmas. That would have been dream land a year back.

No, still an opportunity missed.

[Villan82]

Wilder has done a number on us a few times and did again tonight. Horrible football and so many fouls

[newryvillain]

JJ needs to do a lot more for me. Too slow & ponderous on the ball.
Turns back too often when he used to drive on.
Mind you he wasn’t alone tonight, no snap for most of the game.
