Aston Villa v Celtic Match Thread

[wince]

Couldn’t give a shit about cheat city. We made this hard ourselves and we simply have no defence. Fuck this I’m off

[adrenachrome]

Second game running we've started great, taken the lead, had an injured defender, gone to shit.

Good point.
Who is our defensive coach?

[Demitri_C]

We bottled  it against monaco whoch waa bad enough but somehow we have managed to top that tonight in this first half.

[rob_bridge]

It’s not all on Watkins - that’s clearly factually bollocks. He should have scored, but we shouldn’t have conceded two simple goals regardless.

Correct. He missed a chance. He didn't defend 2 chances for them badly

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Watkins takes that chance and this doesn’t happen.

too many times this season , minutes later the opposition scores when he misses a easy chance

In defence of Watkins he's brilliant without the ball.

If you can't defend a 2-0 home lead at home to an inferior side then your attack is so far from being your biggest problem that it isn't even in the same postcode. We keep throwing away leads, we keeping conceding 2+ goals, and somehow people think it's the fault of the strikers.

That is a fairer question than Watkins is shit

[SamTheMouse]

Awful sub again from Emery. Instead of bringing on another attacking RB, he moved the only DM out of the centre and into a position he doesn't excel at.

This, I definitely agree with.

Yep, sorry to say I do too. Some of Emery's recent decisions have been highly suspect.

Agreed, that really changed this game.

[Chris_Jephcott]

Half time. And breathe.

And cheerio Duran

[JUAN PABLO]

Yep all on watkins for me. Simple chance and again misses and costs us.

We just conceded two goals in two minutes. That isn't Watkins' fault.

3  0 and its over

[Small Rodent]

It has nothing to do with the defending.

Unless you’re weird and believe in luck.

[andyh]

2-0 up
Cruising
Switch on, play like ****** mode

[Monty]

What else should we have done? Who comes on instead? Ned, and then you've got a decent with two rookies in it. There was no good option.

[Meanwood Villa]

Ollie always misses chances

We always fuck it up
