I think Emery has decided to save our energy for the full season by telling the players to only play in reverse gear for several games. The trouble is yiu will burn out the clutch doing that all the time and then can't change into a faster gear.

Bailey just needs dropping. He is adding nothing at all in the attack or defence.

Rogers needs to learn to get an end product, maybe give Palmer exclusive use of the goal celebration and ask Palmer for goals and assists in exchange.

Watkins, seems he is back in his shallow period again after as he has done nothing since the Fulham match.

Youri, what has happened? Are other players not doing anything so you have no ball to release?

 I read on a Spanish forum that a club only gets 2 good seasons out of Emery. This isn't my opinion, just what I've read. I think the opposition have sussed our plan, and we ain't got a plan B.

Without Bailey we have no pace at all in the team.

This walk football is just so boring. Yes, play it to take the sting out of the game in certain situations. But there's no real impetus. What's happened to the quick passing and movement since Bayern?

As for their goal, like someone else said, I can't work out why he wasnt booked if it was deemed handball.
Pity?

I expect the UEFA equivalent of PGMOL sent that around and stated, do not allow that again. There was a video on the BBC a few weeks ago when both teams in one game did that exact thing and pens were given then as well.

We've not being great all season, but the last 3 games have been dreadful. Liverpool is the last team I would want us to face next, Martinez and Kamara are the only ones, who come out with any credit.

I remember watching that Bundesliga video and pissing myself laughing while thinking how could anybody be so stupid..... step forward Aston Villa.

Hmm not aure about that swear he was at villareal longer and did well. Although i might be wrong?

I just cant see unai being so elite for 2 years then go to shit after that.

But this is bad at the moment.  The worst under him. I think the warning signs been there and now the reality is kicking in.

It was always going to be a gamble having three players coming back from ACLs and 2 of the 3 have not been great so far.  Only kamara has come back looking good.

Thought buendia was pants again today. I think its time to part ways. We have moved on from him

I haven’t looked but suspect it stands up to zero scrutiny.

That was truly awful, only matched by the performance of the referee who on top of the bizarre penalty decision made countless poor calls.
Maatsen seems to be getting the better ratings but I thought he was truly abject and I actually thought Bailey was a little better than he has been, certainly didn’t give it away as much. Kamara was just about the best player but tired badly. Everyone's was shocking, particularly Watkins, Maatsen and Rogers
What bizarre decision was that exactly? Clear handball and just lucky not to be sent off.
As regards Bailey, most players would be able to play a 5 yard backwards pass.

Just need a bit more quality.

Swap Dwight Yorke for Watkins and he takes the chances tonight and last game.

Swap Platt for McGinn and he gets the header tonight.

The pressure is on Monchi…

Exactly!!
That's it, its done, fooking best two years as a villa fan in decades for me, fooking gutted its all over after this week. Ah well at least I can stop rubbing my cheek in work now and I can also stop being demanding of myself and others. If only I’d known beforehand there was a two year window, i wouldn’t of let myself get drawn in.

Good fooking grief!!
