It's happened the last 3 times in a row though, so can see why it's pretty fresh in people's minds.

So going forward we either play out the 1-0, or score another 2 very quickly. Problem solved. Insight etc.

They didn't happen in a row.

The last 3 times we went 2 up? I dunno, was only going from the list, my memory is far too shite.

Man U was back in December. Percy just stuck the ones we didn't win at the end.

[Goldenballs]

Oh yeah 😂

Not insight after all.

Only gained 1 point on Spurs this weekend. Must do better, Unai.

Bollocks, we’ve got Brighton next in the league. They have only 2 points from their last 6 matches and have only scored 2 goals in those games. Need I say any more?

They're shite and we'll twat them.

2nd half we were very poor, it was defence vs attack, we did well to get a point, their winger (don't know his name) was very good, and gave Digne a tough time.

I think we will need 4 points from the last 3 games to qualify for the Champions league, but we do have 3 tough games left to play.

People keep posting this stuff before virtually every game, I know half in jest, but its also like it hasnt sunk in even yet, this is a different Villa.

I have got a good feeling about this one. We’ll cruise past them.

we shit the bed when we’re 2-0 up
we should then be in control of the game but virtually every time we hand control over to the team who are 2-0 down

Everton: 2-0 up, won 4-0
Hibs 2-0 up, won 5-0
Hibs 2-0 up, won 3-0
Brighton 2-0 up, won 6-1
West Ham 2-0 up, won 4-1
Luton 2-0 up, won 3-1
AZ 2-0 up, won 4-1
Fulham 2-0 up, won 3-1
Fulham 2-0 up, won 2-1
Burnley 2-0 up, won 3-1
Forest 2-0 up, won 4-2
Luton 2-0 up, won 3-2
Sheff Utd 2-0 up, won 5-0
Arsenal 2-0 up, won 2-0
Ajax 2-0 up, won 4-0.
Lille 2-0 up, won 2-1
Man Utd, 2-0 up, lost 3-2
Brentford 2-0 up, drew 3-3
Chelsea 2-0 up, drew 2-2.

Can we stop imaging this shit now please?

Think what you like Stato but when we were two nil up against Chelsea I was nervous, very nervous and that’s because of previous times,
I never said we lost them all, we just lose confidence and let the other team back in normally by handing them a goal, at two nill I’m hoping we go on and put the game to bed not give them hope

I was nervous too, because we were playing terrible. But if you can read that list and not see that those games are outliers I can’t help you. Were you nervous in all the other games where we’ve been 2-0 up and gone onto to win by more?

All those teams we beat must be really crap to let us score more goals after we hand over control virtually every time.

There's been a noticeable shift in defensive stability for the worse since Christmas, mainly due to the injury list.  Until then, we'd conceded 22 goals in 18 games (1.22 goals per game). In the 17 games since then, we've conceded 30 (1.76 gpg). That period since Chrimbo includes all of the following where we did our best to chuck it away: Man U, Luton, Brentford and Chelsea, so it's understandable why they're fresher in people's memories. Overall we've been less consistent, have had less control, and aren't defending as well.

That we're still favourites to finish 4th is becase of the incredible work Emery is doing, and that we're still scoring at the same average rate of two goals per game.
