Carlos is a clown, Konsa at RB  🤬.

Your desperation for us not to play by far our most efficient defence is bordering on obsession.

Does it stretch to wanting Olsen in goal?

Efficient? Carlos is an imbecile
Carlos can be brilliant but equally can be poor .
Konsa simply isn't a RB and offers next to nothing going forwards down that side

1 decent game in 10 is his level. One of their first attacks tonight, he has to get too tight and gives away a stupid free kick in a dangerous area. Mings gets booked, he simply has to get stuck into the ref and get booked for dissent. The countless amount of times he booted possession away under no pressure tonight. He's terrible!

Late on, Emery finally has enough and hooks him moving Konsa across. This is like the Duran/Watkins issue, how many times do we have to see Konsa and Carlos make a show of themselves, especially against weaker opposition, to say no more. We are basically wasting subs correcting terrible selection decisions.

Matty Cash, come back all is forgiven!

Translation: we need to concede more goals.

Any facts? I’ll wait.

That was bad. So slow. We basically have no right hand side in an attacking sense. Konsa is not a RB and Bailey is completely out of form. And Philogene is nowhere near this level.

On the Emery can only do it for 2 seasons. He won 3 Europa Leagues in a row with Sevilla and finished 5th, 5th and 7th in La Liga in those seasons

We played some incredible football against Bologna.
Then there was today. 
What has changed??

We did but Bologna were a nothing team in all honesty. As were Berne. Brugge are about the same level but we let them get a foothold in the game and once they scored we fell apart. This is like Ipswich all over again.

Id put this down as bas as thw warsaw defeat.  Really poor and now puts us under pressure to beat juventus

It was worse.

Yeah your probably right as at least we scored a couple then. I think this is our worst result in europe under emery. Up there with stromgodset

If memory serves we beat Stromsgodset both games.

You are correct apologies. There was one team im sure it was a scandanvian that we got embarrassed by and lost.

Also another one we lost where bosko balaban played? This results up there with them

You could be thinking of Helsingborgs and Varteks Varazdin

We will keep conceding them in the manner of the past week with Carlos in the team and our best CB shoved out to RB to accommodate him. With the ball, Konsa at RB is where the ball goes to die and Carlos simply can't play.

Thought not. Never is. Just the famously wonky opinions that you are well-known for on here.

Facts oppose your ‘argument’, which is why you avoid them I suppose.

Congrats on the ‘where the ball goes to die’ phrase. I can tell you’re proud of it.

Turgid crap.

Watkins and Bailey woeful, the rest of the team not far behind, Martinez, Maatsen and Kamara the exceptions.

I’m actually really pissed off about tonight.

I thought I’d calm down, but know this will be the first thing I think about when I wake up at 4am and spend the next hour fuming over.

I know how you feel Chris.  Im angry but more disappointed. I did think the players would try make up for the recent garbage displays but it appears not.

I cant see it being any bettee saturday night at Anfield either. That would make four straight losses which  is  simply nlt good enough

Well we haven’t losses to Liverpool yet ,  but we certainly have a disconnect with the link up play through the midfield .  We seem
easier to play against and lack speed and energy in our attacks .  Hopefully just a blip

Avoid arguments?...pull up more wonky stats then. Goals conceded this season, Cash on the pitch v not on the pitch - how are we faring out?

We've started looking really pedestrian on the ball and lack a cutting edge.

I have a feeling it was like this after Arsenal at home last season and we never really recovered from it? It’s like it’s a performance fatigue or something.

Either way, I think I’ll try and avoid our trip to Anfield. Right now, the thought is about as enjoyable as a visit to the proctologist - or getting a camera up the old boy at the Urologist. Neither of which I fancy right now…

I do fancy another glass of wine though. To ease the pain of tonight. And the collective pain of the last couple of weeks of Villa induced anguish.
