Aston Villa 1-1 Ipswich Post Match Shouting

[PeterWithe]

I thought we had enough to push both full backs much further forward and one of the centre halves into midfield in possession as well, I thought we were far too slow and didn't commit players forward fast enough.

Just didn't do enough against a team who only seemed to have one attack, and scored from it.

Positive from the game, if the likes of Ipswich can come to Villa park and come away with a point then we can easily go to Liverpool and get 3.

The game is at Villa, we have already been to Liverpool and got 0.

Cheers, meant to say we should beat them at home.

Not for the first time this season, we have failed to put to bed a shit side.  We have a tendency to put together better performances against better sides.  I hope!!  Really poor result today.

Games like this can happen in a season. Unfortunately it’s a repeat theme this season; concede on first big opportunity, waste countless chances. Despite how close the league is for champions league we’re just not going to take advantage of it. As others have said, best to concentrate on the cup competitions now.

Games like this show how important Torres is to our build up and breaking low blocks.

Rashford showed a lot of quality which will be helpful for us finishing the season.

Their goal keeper will never play as well again in his career.

Only 4 minutes added on was an absolute joke.,

[PeterWithe]

We haven't really put a team to the sword at home, we don't really create anywhere near as many chances as you'd think we would looking at the attacking talent we have.

[PeterWithe]

And, yet again, when Rogers isn't on song, we lack fluidity and look disjointed going forward.

We haven't really put a team to the sword at home, we don't really create anywhere near as many chances as you'd think we would looking at the attacking talent we have.

Because we 'control' the opposition by passing it around the back and giving them chance to get back behind the ball.

Thought Ramsey was our best player first half. Some lovely moves from him down the left that should've resulted in goals especially from one himself that he should've buried on half time.

So a real downside of the Rashford loan if it's an either/or. Rogers was totally anonymous by comparison for majority of match and Malen struggled to do much out wide.

Overall two points from West Ham, Wolves and Ipswich is very poor and pretty much ends our top 5 hopes now I'd say as we were winning these games last season.

There was me thinking Unai had finally made us ruthless against ten men and we roll back the years to give a textbook display in how not to play against that number.

I get the conserving energy mentality but we've just had a free week for first time in ages and to win that game today we needed to take far more risks than we did and dare I say go a touch more direct. The chances we created in the first half were simple balls flighted over their backline.

Games like today we're a bit overcoached and that results in a passive atmosphere as the crowd struggle to get involved if we're just passing sideways endlessly 30 yards out when there's only a few minutes left.

I can live with today if it means we're going all in for the FA Cup and we might not have a choice on that in four weeks so this season can still have an exciting finish even if it's the one outcome the hierarchy wouldn't sign up for.

Poor defensive effort to let that goal in. Three defenders and Emi.

Much like the entire performance it wasn't great , but for their goal let's not forget how easily Maatsen was skinned . He is shaping into a really weak defender though ok on the front foot.

[olaftab]

Such a shit, arrogant performance. Fair play to the Ipshitters.

I have thought but I cannot add any further wisdom to this post. Concisely summed up.

[Demitri_C]

When Tielemans is playing in advanced role, and we are zipping the ball around, he’s one of the best.

I think luiz at his best  is better than youri  at his best personally.  He does not score enough  goals in the league for me.

Luiz was killing it.

[Clampy]

Fair play to them, they stuck to their game plan even when they went down to ten men. Morgan and McGinn looked way off it for me and their keeper made some very good saves. Just one of them games I'm afraid.

[Aldridge Villa]

Missing golden chances and always gift the opposition a goal means mid table at best. We are so better than that which makes it even more frustrating.

Our league form over the last 12 months suggests we are not so better.

Yes. There was a glaring example of that near the end when almost entire Ipswich team had crossed the halfway line and play was over on our left hand side the ball ended up with Martinez, with Ipswich out of shape Garcia had sprinted up towards their half but Emi instead of quickly releasing it to him hesitated a little and than rolled it 10 yards to Disasi. By the time Disasi played it forward Ipswich were back in shape.
