Another Watkins miss.

No, everything is perfect. And if you say otherwise, you are “fickle”.

So much self-pity in this post I had to wipe it off my screen.

I’m not sure this situation is the best time for your posts, dripping in smug as they are.

You're right, maybe it's time for BLIND RAGE.

Haven’t you got some cold-pressed olive oil to attend to?

rubbish again

[Cropley10]

What is the most subs we can bring on? Is it 12?

[Proposition Joe]

Jaden does something good and Watkins ... Dear oh dear

[Chris_Jephcott]

Serious question…

I don’t want to say this, because I love him but…

How much time do we give Emery to sort this out? This next transfer window? We’re not looking anywhere near the team that we were at the start of the season… something is wrong - again.

I trust Emery to sort it out, but I suspect we’ve been found out tactically and our players seem to be mentally out of their depth.

A very long time. He will get it right, but he is not getting it right at present and neither are the players.

I think our biggest problem this season has been that we lost players in the summer and failed to replace them adequately. The two who we took from Juventus could have been exceptionally useful at the moment.

We are missing Diaby, we are missing Luiz. They were cores of the team whether we liked it or not. By losing them, we lost a valuable contribution to our assists.

Defensively, the high line has been sussed out and our weaknesses have been exposed.

The January transfer window is going to be very very telling though. Either we’re backing to improve or we’re not - and if we have to endure the 2nd half of the season with these players alone, we’re in for a horrible journey.

I have no doubt that Emery will sort it out though in time - it’s just a question of what comes first - that, or the patience of our owners.

We’re suffering from this last summer now…

This is worse than Fulham away under Gerrard. Embarrassing.

Absolutely.

Fucking shambles.

No it isn't

Chelsea press and villa's is miles apart

[SoccerHQ]

It would be good to introduce Rogers to the concept of passing. He plays like a precocious eleven-year-old.

I'd take him out of the starting 11. Should've played an extra CM today just to make it a bit more difficult for Chelsea to pass through us.

Another Watkins miss.

I can fart harder than he shoots

Playing a waiting game at two nil down

[Mossie Hennebry]

There child be 5 changes at HT here

[JUAN PABLO]

I cant believe I was happy when Jaden came back as I though he looked great last season at Hull.  He has been absolutely dire all season.

[Demitri_C]

Something has been 'off' all season. maybe some of the in the know here are aware what it is but something hasn't been right.

I think the biggest issue is not replacing the goal scoring of diaby and luiz. We lost 15 goals and replaced them with onana who is injury prone doesn't score  as many as dougie and inconsistent  and a hopeless player like philiogene.

Not signing a problem  right back as well.

This teams embarrassing to watch at times when you see how we defend as well
