Palace v Villa Post Match Hiding Place

[VillaTim]

I'd move Bailey on in the summer. Get something for him before his value tanks.

100%

[Aldridge Villa]

Playing 3 centre halves reduced how many players we could pass into, the main tactic was give it to McGinn and hope his big ass would get a free kick or get him out of traffic, Palace only had to nick it once or twice to make it a big problem for us.

We scored when Olsen played it into Watkins and he flicked on for Rogers, but I don't remember us trying it again.

It was odd that Garcia looked all at sea playing wing back, when he looked so good pushing Jones back last Wednesday as a regular right back.

First paragraph absolutely bob-on.

Sell him to Everton, they always pay top dollar for cast offs of better sides.

They'll probably spend the summer buying the worst 2 or 3 of the dross currently stinking out Man United.

McGinn is initially at fault for the first goal , but there are then a catalogue of other errors before the ball ends up in the net. As a collective they were all very poor.

It's not ass, it's arse. Ginny grew-up in Clydebank, not Cleveland.

They might finish above us if the current form remains as is. Moyes has rejuvenated them

I thought Palace got away with 'tactical' fouling all game - especially Munoz who I think could have been sent off. At times it was difficult for us to get the ball moving forward because of this.

Still no excuse for the overall performance.

We struggle against physical teams like Palace, Forest & Newcastle.

We play so slowly just inviting teams to come onto us, which works sometimes if we play through them, but when it doesn’t work we end up with 2nd half’s like last night

Not sure about all the embarrassing comments, being embarrassed usually entails worrying about what others think, when it comes to Villa, who gives a shit what others think.

Wasn’t great last night, like it hasnt been great away for most of the season, as opposed to at home, where we pretty much have a fortress.

Anyway, 4 games in 10 days probably didn’t help us last night.

We played with control in the first half and were probably unlucky to be behind. Losing Emi knocked us off our stride due to the reluctance to play the slow cat and mouse game we have when he’s there and just looked vulnerable every time they attacked.

We should have been 3 down by half time. Emerys tactics emptied our already fatigued midfield. It was batshit crazy stuff.

Granted Olsen never looks like saving a shot but in terms of reasons we lost it's a long way down the list.

Yes. Playing 4 games in the space of a week and a half is one thing some fans should also take into account, especially when we've had to pick the same midfield.

Not having Onana Barkley Kamara available is taking its Toll.

Yet more evidence you watch a different game to the rest of us!

And a constantly changing central defence.

Margins are finer than ever this season.
