Villa v Palace Post Match Thread

Just ignore him Luke. It's what I tend to do from now on. He argues for the sake of it.

If we lose sunday its going to have signs of that famous Moscow episode

😂😂😂😂

What's  funny luke ?

Wasnt moscow the same reason resting players and utilising the squad then we didnt win the next game anyway? So i missed whats funny? Do share some insight

How do you manage to leave the house in the morning without breaking down? I can't remember the last time that the club was in such a good place yet you are consistently posting from some alternative Universe were Eric Black is over seeing a front two of McCormack and Gestede. Go and post in the Blues thread and cheer yourself up.

So i asked you a simple question just a simple question that isnt rocket scienece to answer. But for some reason it seems abit difficult for you to answer

Yet you go on the attack and try to spin it to another direction. I dont understand what you are waffling about whats rudy and mccomark got to do with what happened in moscow?

Here's  a history lesson for you neither player was at the club under MON that was under a different manager.

MON rested players like emery did for moscow we lost then went and drew the last next game and we went out when we could have carried on maybe won that cup. So my point was if we lose sunday we could have at least had a few more senior players on the bench to win the palace game.

So again i ask you a simple question whats so funny? Its not hard to answer the question instead of mumbling some nonsense. And ill post where i want thanks.

If you think yesterday and Moscow were the same then you are beyond help. We did what every other club in our position did. I guarantee that if we'd have played the 'first XI' last night and got two injuries to our better players (like Palace did) then you'd be on here bleating about Squad rotation. You're default mode is to be pissed off about something, anything.

Its pretty sad that again instead of answering the question you go on attack mode and cannot  (for some odd reason) answer such a simple question its not hard  to answer and this is just a waste of my time replying to fantasy scenerios and on a person who cannot answer such a easy question 😂

Your perception is wrong just to add a final point to this waste of time post about "picking up injuries" you just made that up

So im arguing when someone attacks me when i ask them a simple question what was funny

Good one  that makes a lot of sense and please do ill do the same with your cringy self

What was Eze's problem last night? He deliberately wound the Holte up with some strange gestures after he scored which is fair game but he contied his antics and appeared to spit on the floor in a gesture to them. When he was taken off he continued to behave like a twat by walking off the pitch with a silly grin at a snails pace. I've got no opinions on him as a person and I rate him quite highly as a player. As far as I know there's been no beef between him and our fans?

I saw that I thought it was weird.

one eye on Sundays game against Spurs I feel
Unfortunately I don’t think losing games in a can’t be bothered way is ever good preparation for the next match

Maybe it's part of a plan. After last year's similarly crap exit against Everton, we beat Brighton 6-1 in the next game.

I'd settle for that result vs the lilyshites

Only saw the 1st half - but the 3 players who returned from long injury lay off, for me all struggled - Mings and Buendia both need to find another club next summer and I would not be surprised if Kamara wants to leave next summer, to get regular 1st team football (I cannot see him getting in the side ahead of Onana, Barkley or Tielemans).

It will be interesting to see what the attendance was last night, from the TV there did not seem to be many empty seats (well done to all that went).

Couldn't disagree more, I think Kamara/Onana/Tielemans will interchange regularly this season. Bouba is a class act and already looked good in his first start. I can see him starting again vs Brugge.

I’m lucky enough to be going to Spurs so I’ll look forward to the drubbing we’ll be handing out now I know that it’s all part of a plan

Mickey Mouse cup, let Man United and Spurs scrap over it. We’ve got 3 bigger games in the next week.

Had time to reflect on and although I am still disappointed,  I think there is a bigger picture which I can kind of accept.  Emery has clearly stated that the Premier League and Champions League are the priorities and we've got two games a week pretty much every week now until the end of January.   

He obviously saw last night and sees the cups in general  as an opportunity to rest players as well as giving others some much needed game time with an eye on the fixture list ahead.  I'm guessing that him and his team have made the decision to field that kind of team in the competition- if they win then great and if they don't then move on and focus on what they see as the priority.

Yes it's a bit frustrating as I'm guessing most fans would like to see us win trophies, but there is obviously a plan there and it's hard to argue with the results of it so far.

I have no idea which match you was watching. Both Kamara and Mings did really well given the length of the lay offs, I’ll agree Buendia has struggled since coming back.
Ask Santa for a new TV for Xmas 🙏

I'd like to see our form since January as a table because I don't think it's all that . We've had a softer set of fixtures to kick the season off too.

So, we finished fourth in the league last year, we are currently fourth this year, and three games in and we're top of the champions league, however, our form "ain't all that".

What a truly absurd argument to make.

[john e]

I’ll tell you what

All us posters like me moaning like mad about going out of the cup last night because we think nearly 3 decades is too long for us to go in putting some silverware in the cabinet will have a bucket full of egg on our faces and be eating humble pie forever if we win the league or the Champions League because that’s the priority

I will never be able to show my face on here again much to the delight of many I’m sure
But I’ll die a happy man

[placeforparks]

i'm personally indifferent about the carabou cup, but i get the fact that it has been nearly 30 years since the club lifted a trophy and why it matters to others.

i also feel the next 3 away games - spurs, bruges and liverpool will be more season-defining that last night.

anyway, thought kamara and mings played well last night.

really not sure about nedelkovic. i know he's 18, but i think he needs to be getting more minutes and that will be on loan somewhere.

gauci made some suspect decisions with his punching as well. he got away with them.

Funny thing is (and I'm over last night, fuck that three handled nonsense) that is Emery's aim. The mad, glorious, bastard
