Brighton vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Villan82]

Desperate stuff against a team that have been in worse form than us the last few weeks. The fuck was that?

It's called 58 games catching up on us. But if he hadn't taken the Conference seriously he would have got pelters too.

[stubbsyandy]

So Villa!

[Rigadon]

I mean sometimes the manager gets it wrong, sometimes the players have off days. Other days the ref is a gigantic smug kunt. Barely any difference between our penang there's, if anything ours was more of one.

Yes indeed.  Softest pen I’ve ever seen. 

[manic-road]

We look out on our feet at the moment, so many poor performance well all apart from Olsen. Poor in Europe last week and the past few Premier League games.

Need a push for the last 3-4 games.

[villadelph]

Olsen was great.. some outfield players were not. Diaby needs to sit out, his effort and involvement is costing us valuable space on the pitch. He still doesn’t get it.

Need to pack the midfield and get Tim on, let Doug push forward. Losing Morgan was a tough one today. It totally disconnected the midfield and forwards.

McGinn and Luiz look like Gerrard era crap right now and they need to get their shit together.

[Axl Rose]

Fuck such a performance

Setting up to defend defend defend and snatch a point? Yawn

Some of those players need...well, I don't know. Have a rest on your days off or train less. I'm sure it's not so simple, but fucking hell.

Mcginn and Konsa especially rubbish today. Those two should be leading, not playing like that.

[Smithy]

It's worrying how little we create when don't have that player who can either carry the ball forward between the lines (Rogers), or someone who can pick out that pass between the lines (Tielemans).  We look very pedestrian without either of them.

Unlike the Olympiacos result, this is worrying because the performance was so bad.  We looked leggy, and bereft of ideas throughout.

At this point, we're relying on Liverpool and Man City to do us a favour.

[pauliewalnuts]

It doesn't really raise one's hopes for Thursday, does it.

We are so utterly mentally dead now, and the injuries are just getting ridiculous.

We need Spurs to continue to look abject against Liverpool today, and against Man City, because I don't think we can expect to be picking up many points in our remaining two league games.

[rougegorge]

Given the form Brighton were in, that was the worst performance of the season. We looked more like relegation candidates than aspiring to the Champions League.

We had nearly 15 minutes to do something after they scored but there was just nothing at all.

The much-maligned Olsen was the only one who played well. Even allowing for a lot of games and injuries, I can't believe how inept we were.

[eamonn]

All the pre-match chat about Brighton being on the beach and our great record against them...it means Jack-shit when we're knackered and committed to a pressing game against a team who has the energy and ability to do it better. 105 minutes where we couldn't muster-up one chance worth talking about.

Had a bad feeling that we'd concede when we had two subs ready to come on but we waited. Konsa struggled with Adringa all-game, and he fucks-up. Game over. We just have to pray we can limp over the line now. I think 70 points is probably beyond us.

We're running on fumes. I know what I would do on Thursday night but it wouldn't be popular.

[PaulWinch again]

Absolutely terrible again, third dreadful performance in a week. Injuries are clearly a massive problem, but if the level we’ve hit in the last 3 games is the bar for the remaining games then we’ll lose them all.

Only Olsen gets credit from that and McGinn and Konsa were especially terrible.

I’d say 2 points is about what I’d be willing to commit to.  3 at best.

Thats a bit of a cop.out.

[olaftab]

Deserved nothing got nothing. It’s going to be squeaky pants to the end of the season as I can’t see how we are going to find energy to overcome Liverpool and Palace.
