Ipswich Town vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[ROBBO]

What was Konsa thinking, we were still winning and as a full back his first priority is defence, all game he was under pressure as they targeted him and Carlos, he didn't need to be up with the forwards. Bailey has gone back in his shell, for a short period last season he was unstoppable, Emery also had a bad game, thought his changes weakened us apart from Barkley.

Clear dive by Watkins, red card.

FT 2-2

Thought we played in energy conservation mode instead of the usual high tempo. That means teams at this level will always pose a threat and it becomes difficult to respond to, credit to Ipswich, they stayed in the game.

Carlos is an issue, Konsa back at CD a must. The habit of conceding first is a concern, eventually it'll cost more than 2 points today.

At 2-1 the tempo should have gone up instead of down and taken the game to a level the opposition have yet to get to.

Disappointing because there's just the slight sign that all we have to do is "play" and we'll get results. Not happening, not at this level.

If we can play at tempo v City or Bayern, then we can v Ipswich. It's that simple.

Konsa back at CD is a must?

Like against West Ham when our non-Konsa right-back won the ‘most penalties given away in the PL since his debut award’ outright?

Like against Arsenal when our non-Konsa right-back lost his man and he scored the winner?

Like against Leicester when our non-Konsa right-back was skinned and made it a close game for the last however long was left?

Like against Everton when *checks notes* Calvert-Lewin bullied our defence for an hour?

Like against Young Boys when our non-Konsa right-back was all over the place in the first half? So much so that he was replaced by erm… Konsa at half-time?

And NOT like against Wolves when our right-back scored the winner. Who was that now?

Be careful what you wish for. Especially if you wish Stan Collymore was picking our team instead of Unai Emery.

We played the game in first or second gear for the most part.
You could tell from the beginning that we were the better footballing side (the second goal was sheer class) but obviously it takes more than that to win a match in the Premier League.
It looked like an exercise in conserving energy.
We were fortunate to be leading 2-1 at half time and in the second half you would expect to be looking for a third goal to finish them off.
At the end I thought we were happy with the point as we could easily have lost.
I think we all agree that the RB situation is causing a lot of problems.
Our defence continues to look fragile.
I wonder when Cash will be back?
I know he may not be the long term solution but he is the best option when fit.
All credit to Ipswich for taking the game to us they probably deserved to win.
If they continue to play like that I think they will stay up.
Man U next in PL and we should really be looking to heap on the misery for them next weekend.

We’ve lost I game in 8 this season by the way. Today was disappointing but let’s not get too upset, on to Wednesday.

Totally. And we were great in patches. The moaning is ridiculous.

We have played some of the worst teams in the league and scraped the wins. November is where we really will see how good this team is as thats where we beging the tougher games in the league

Manure will be a test lets see how we do against them. Are we going to shit our pants like we usually do against them or are we going to finalky realise they are shit and we shouldnt fear them

We haven't scraped wins. The only match where we got an undeserved result was Arsenal.

I would argue west ham and everton ones we did. We were fortunate wolves missed chances too and were clinical in that one

And you'd be wrong.

[sid1964]

For the first 20 mins of the 2nd half we dominated the ball, yet we never created a goal scoring opportunity.

We played well within ourselves. Ramsey final ball not there, Konsa poor and gave away possession twice leading to goals, Carlos off the pace as ever, Morsey had to fucking walk. Should have had a pen...


Ah fuck it, is it Wednesday yet?!!!

[astonvilla82]

Clear penalty.

Similar to West Ham's against Villa?

I was shouting from my living rooom at Konsa as he galloped forward, I hate watching the inevitable unfold in front of your eyes and being powerless to do anything about it.

[amfy]

We didn’t ‘scrape’ wins against Wolves & Everton. When we got going we were relentless and head & shoulders above them, but the problem was that it took us too long to get going.

The question is why we are starting every game (except Arsenal) in 2nd gear, & it feels like the only explanation is complacency.

I think you might need help at this point
