Abject Villa v Chelsea post match thread.

[Risso]

Dismal from start to finish, and Emery did knack all to change things. Unacceptable.

[PaulWinch again]

Pathetic again, after Newcastle. Most worrying for me is Unai seems incapable of changing things at the moment.

All of them were dreadful, but special mention to Moreno, Kamara, DC and Doug who were worse than 0/10.

[wince]

So shite we have more post match threads than decent passes

[Bobby Boy]

Stank the house out at home for the second game running. Absolutely appalling.

Listen, there's clearly truth in the problems we're having with key injured players at the moment but jeez, that doesn't excuse lack of effort or application.

Just watch Cash's ambling back before the first goal. It's like he's on a Sunday afternoon stroll with his grandparents. Unforgivable.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Embarrassingly shite.

[PeterWithesShin]

Got what we deserved. And 67 years without winning it is embarrassing.

[TonyD]

That whole performance was very suspect. 
Let’s hope we threw it. 
Chelsea had conceded 8 in the last 2 and have been ponderous. 

But if that was the best we could do.
Then god help on Sunday and the rest of the season.
 
Be interesting to see how genuinely pissed off Emery will be when interviewed.

[mrfuse]

Really upset with this one.  Thought we had a genuine chance this year. 

A terrible performance.  I’m going to be shot but I honestly think he and we have been found out.  Chelsea didn’t have to do a lot did they?

You couldn't wait to post that we've been found out. I don't think we've been found out rather we've just had too many injuries than a team that doesn't cheat can cope with.

[Dante Lavelli]

Weird that when we lose, we usually get blown away. Very few narrow loses.
Tactically that must be on Emery, when we go behind we seem to be very vulnerable.  A tweak of the tactic book might be needed, i.e. be a bit more risk adverse for the first 20 minutes, do the tippy tippy defensive bit in increments, not from the off.

[curiousorange]

Having key injuries is an explanation but not an excuse. At a minimum, be more difficult to beat.

[Toronto Villa]

Just fucking gutted. Back to back absolute shit performances at VP having gone the best part of year sweeping all aside. We just love giving life to the downtrodden. Players need a goal, play us. Teams are in turmoil, play us. As mudh as things have improved we never stop being charitable. I’m fucking tired of it.

[malckennedy]

The killer goal was the third. A free kick for falling over - this is definite - had it been in the area and a penalty VAR would have overturned it. Villa were bad but our bad wasn’t much worse than their “brilliant”

[PaulWinch again]

The weird thing about us getting blown away when we lose is it’s not like we’re throwing caution to the wind and trying to attack. We get the worst of both worlds - massively open at the back and offer zero going forward, that’s quite an achievement in terms of ineptitude.

[Martyn Smith]

Thing is, we started so brightly with a fast, pressing game. And then after about five minutes we gave up on it

[algy]

Fuck off, Villa. Just fuck off
