Aston Villa vs Sheffield United Post-Match

[PaulWinch again]

As frustrating as that was, we kept going and got a point. That point could be vital and it's one we wouldn't have got the previous few seasons.

Yep agreed - the bloody goal we conceded though was so sloppy, and we nearly did it again after we scored.

Watched in a pub.And I celebrated that equaliser like a fa cup winning goal.
The road ahead may be bumpy, but christ on a bike I'm loving it.

Would be nice to have someone like Buendia on the bench to bring on. I’ve never rated Ramsey - then again I didn’t really think much of Archer and shows what I know.

Not ideal but if you can't win it don't lose it applies here . The season has a long way to go. Onwards and upwards.

I still don't quite understand why it was a UTD freekick.  Didn't he have massive handfuls of Duran's shirt?  Isn't that why VAR said it wasn't a red card, because he was trying to get free of another player?  WTLF?  Villa freekick all day long,no?

Ramsey is a good player coming back from a couple of back to back injuries. Hopefully the minutes get him back up to speed.

[Toronto Villa]

You can see when we miss our regular midfielders how disjointed we can look. Without Doug and Youri at Brentford. Without Bobby today. It will be good to have them all back, hopefully against Man U.

Edit: fuck forgot Kamara might be out for 3 games

I knew it would be tougher than many thought. However, Watkins in the first half won a penalty - not awarded. VAR always looking for a reason to disallow a goal: in the second half, the defender was as much a part of the goalkeeper's inability to make the save as was Ramsey.

For me, the biggest tactical error today was playing McGinn too deep. He is so much more effective further forward.

Haha! What if Ramsay was out for months and Buendia was playing regularly. I bet we'd be saying he's shit and we need Ramsay. ;-)

Reinforcements certainly needed in Jan, if just to give us some other dimension. I'd love a niggly little striker, a Diego Costa type, someone who's an expert in roughing up defenders.

That was forced upon us I imagine. I suppose he could have played the Donck there.

[Risso]

Too many players well below par. Ramsey and Diaby the worst culprits. Our final ball was abysmal all game.

[PeterWithesShin]

Worst case scenario we're 3rd on Christmas Day. We're unbeaten for 16 home games, unbeaten in the last 7, lost 1 of the last 14. Tonight was frustrating, but we're doing something right.

I'm off to the pre-match discussion THREAD in the archives to verify this.
