Allons enfant de la patriiiiiii-e....

I have him blocked so I may not have seen any others of a similar theme, if there are any.

Tiredness last night will play a part but a triumvirate of Olsen Lenglet Konsa will not be winning any prizes

Anyway. The Villa eh? At least we're not Spurs.

Me too but I'm often on the mobile skin. :-(

The non penalty for the challenge on Bailey has to be seen to be believed. That was as blatant as it gets. They disallow our goal for a slight tug on a shirt and they fail to give that pen. Is it anti PL bias or is it just plain old incompetence?

I saw it as exactly the same as the Saka one against Bayern. Checking the run slightly to make sure that contact happens.

[Axl Rose]

Positives for sure where the 2 goals scored.
Watkins and Diaby finishing was superb!
Seemed a bit over run in midfield areas in transition however another day Villa score several more.
Prayers and thoughts to the supporter who was taken to hospital I hope that they will be ok.
Does anyone have any info or knowledge on this.
God bless them.
That's the most important thing tonight the welfare of supporter

Medical attention will almost certainly be more useful than prayers.

Mods….. what the rules for getting me banned again. I can’t read the absolute bollocks that comes out of the mouths of Risso,Demitri C and Paulie. What a bunch of pricks. At least DC is only annoying the other two are just Cs. If they spoke to people the way they do on here the other side of a keyboard they’d be seeking medical assistance pretty urgently.

Is that good enough?

Oh dear

Poor performance and one things for sure we defend like that in the away leg and we have no chance of turning it around.  Personally I thought they were bang average as well, striker didn’t stop running all night but it felt like they were eyeballs out whilst we were malfunctioning all over.  Can see us scoring goals over there, not sure I see us stopping them scoring…we need to not make it a basketball game but play it calmly and not panic if it get to 70 minutes at 0-0.

Need Martinez, Torres and Teilemans back for 2nd leg, shore up the midfield somewhat

[VillaTim]

After a nightmare journey back last night, just able to post now.
Awful, Doug played worst I have seen him since the SG days. Olsen playing put fear of God into our defence, they looked so nervy - so many mis-placed passes. They did surprise us the way they went for it esp 1st half.
Bad day at the office all round, hopefully Martínez, Pau Torres and Tielemans will be back this weekend.

Honestly id rather save all three for Thursday night.

Give gauci a start vs brighton.  Id do lenglet and carlos at cb with konsa on bench.

Get timmy in there give him a start and lets just see how it goes

Wow, 100% No. Prem and securing 4th is the absolute priority, a win Sunday would all but secure Champions League Football .

Made the absolutely fundamental error of being on a match thread for a match which is going badly and not realising what those conditions are like.

A bit like going to judging the state of British democracy by watching PMQs in the Johnson - Corbyn era.

It was a stonewall pen but irrelevant as it turned out.

Why?

[Drummond]

They played better than us in parts, but they got lucky too. The penalty. The penalty that wasn't. The deflection. The missed penalty.

We're going to do this. We are better than them and will have a stronger squad to pick from next week.

Presumably because having just scored / missed that penalty, the game plays out differently and Ollie doesn't score ninety seconds later.

Because we scored straight after. If we’d got the pen and scored, game restarts with a kick off, and the rest of the game is different. So the situation that leads to us getting it back to exactly the same game state (1-2) doesn’t happen, and it is still 1-2 at half-time.
