Villa v Palace Post Match Thread

[VillaTim]

Absolutely piss poor and unacceptable. I like Emery but that was taking the piss especially out of anyone forking out to go there and watch such utter shite .
Pathetic. Another trophy chance falls away meekly .

[olaftab]

Made an effort to go, took the boys as it’s half term, didn’t know Emery was going to take the piss. A very disappointing night. Stop treating us fans like garbage Unai.

As I said on the other thread - more disapointed by the performance.   A lot of poor performances by players that are in and around the first team.  Beundia has no future with us.  Jayden is looking out his depth, thought its early days.  Carlos again showing issues with his concentration.  Ian (who has been good of the bench), and Ned probably showing why there not getting starts in PL. 

Mings and Kamara looked good considering.  If we beat Spurs then fair enough - but we domestically last 5 games we have beaten one of Bournemouth, Palace, Man Utd, Ipswich and Fulham and 1 clean sheet.  Really we should be doing better than that, particularly given our squad is full strength.

Full strength tonight with the week we have ahead? Behave.

The decision to leave Watkins at home watching Emmerdale was bizarre considering all other teams had main players on the bench.  Liverpool bought salah on when winning 2-0 for example.

2-1 to Palace was the most nailed on predictable score line of all time. You could have bet your entire life savings on it. I wish I had done. Not that I have many but that’s another story.

Not overly bothered, be very difficult to win anyway looking at the teams in the last 8. Unai I think is looking at the bigger picture to try and avoid burn out like last season, hence giving most of the starters the night off. Encouraged by Mings and Kamara as we will need them.

Damn sight easier than the CL and League. Absolute surrender by Unai and co tonight (as usual in the domestic cups). Oh well, let’s try and win the competition for the most improved turnover this season.

A little depth on the bench would have been nice , TBF

[Risso]

Gauci's performance tonight makes me pine for Olsen. Jumped over the first one, and then sort of did nothing at all for the second. Rubbish.

Looks like you were right with your comments before kick off!

[JUAN PABLO]

That team should have been good enough to win that game but there was some utter poor performances from certain players.   Happy to see tyrone and the san andres kamara finish the game but  think buendia will be loaned to Norwich at this rate.

I was gutted to see JAden at Hull last season the way he was playing but didnt do himself any favours tonight .

Would have liked to see the likes of Olie, JJ, Youri and Morgan come for at least 20 minutes , not sure why sticking them on the bench would have really hurt.

Anyway feel for the fans , not so much who Emery picked but how shit most of them played.

[Villafirst]

If you're trailing with around 30 minutes to go, at least have a bench full of first teamers to choose from! Only Cash and Ramsey with real experience there, and Emery leaves them on the bench. Entirely predictable. A waste of time playing the domestic cups as Villa simply don't take them seriously.

Gauchi 6,5
Ned 6,5 Carlos 6,5 Mings 7 Maatsen 6,5
Bailey 6,5 McGinn 7 Kamara 8 Jaden 6
Buendia 4,5
John Duran 7

My last 3 games in the Holte:

Stevenage 1-2
Everton 1-2
Tonight.

Sorry everyone.

Need to put a photofit on the turnstiles: do not let this man in.

If he got a good view of captain chaos, Diego Carlos, tonight then it may have been worth it.

It’s just a revenue game at Villa these days.  Cup wins don’t matter.
