A horrible game. We just look knackered and have done for a while now.Both physically and mentally. Concentration and decision making a little low. I’m sure it will come back. I wake up every morning remembering where we were. I would rather be where we are than where we were. We are for sure not the finished article but we are a more attractive place now. We need to continue moving forward. There may be a few ups and downs along the way but I feel sure we’ll get there. Or I might just be  naively positive.

After about 15 minutes it looked like West Ham were the more drilled organised accomplished side aiming for Europe . 

We need to address that quickly

Absolute garbage. VillaTim, Dimitri C, Risso and Chicago Villa will be absolutely buzzing!

What does this even mean ? Why would any of us be happy troll?

You’re one of the most negative Villa fans ever. I wouldn’t be surprised if you celebrated the equaliser.

Yet your the one calling out a host of posters and more interested in causing trouble and starting arguments.  Thats not only negative but toxic.

You been asked to stop so please stop with this nonsense

We've looked iffy for most of the season. The occasional quality game here and there only serves to emphasise how poor we usually look. It feels like we play with the handbrake on most of the time, and even then the players somehow manage to look exhausted.

It's starting to get a bit worrying, to be honest.

Unai obviously tweaked our setup and tactics in the summer, but the new system, whatever it is, just doesn't work.

It's almost like we willing give up control. Midfield becomes a turnstyle, nothing sticks up front. What happened to the days when we'd press teams and keep them pinned in? Bring back the high line if that's what it takes. Watching the match today was like watching our season in microcosm.

Did well to get ahead but then we can’t seem to put teams to the sword, they looked a disorganised rabble for the first 20 minutes and we didn’t kill it. After that fairly even game and they deserved their point to be fair to them. The referee was an absolute bellend for everyone. Take the point and move on.

Do worry for Mings now and if that knee is ever going to be strong enough for the rigours of this league .

It was the other knee.

A summer of thinking how to approach next season looms for Emery,  under the systems and style this season we've looked very. very average with few stand out performances and the defense is a millstone around our neck.

Well that was a bit dispiriting.

Had to hang on. They had a couple of simple tactics that worked over and over.

Maatsen needs a run of games I think, and he'll be better with Torres inside him.

Digne just kept getting caught.

Rogers and Ramsey were our best two I thought, Ramsey looks like he's getting back to his best.

Another bits and pieces performance. We looked good for a bit then went to pieces after Ty went off.
