Aston Villa v Palace Post-Match Thread

[ez]

The performance I feared against these has happened with more on top.

[AGRIPPA]

That defence can go fuck itself. Every time we play it we conceded a fucking raft of goals.

I think the only way we can play Torres would be in a 3….hes just not a great defender and that’s his bloody position!!!

[PaulWinch again]

Konsa has been bad. Disappointing season for him.

Konsa is pretty poor without Mings leadership and skill set next to him. That has been obvious for a while. We continue to pick Torres though and concede 3.

We’ve done that twice have we of late? They were both crap, but this was a cross team problem. The set up was wrong and we were too passive.

[Somniloquism]

The defence were crap, but that doesn't mean we create 0 clear chances.

We had some decent chances, nothing as clear as theirs though.

To be honest our lack of anything in the final third emboldened them. Like Citeh, we set up like we were afraid of them.

Definitely, but Bailey's shot cleared by Torres in the only defensive thing he did, Konsa, and I can't remember who he Henderson had to dive across and push away from were still decent. Just not enough of it because they just put everyone round the box and then broke at pace when someone screwed up posesion.

How we needed Mings on the pitch today

[rob_bridge]

Mings left out and McGinn and Rogers on the wrong side.

2nd goal was wonder strike and that was the end.

[PaulWinch again]

When he sets the team up like that we badly lack pace, particularly in wide areas.

Just got off a plane in Amsterdam and seen the score. Wtf? Reading the comments it sounds like one of our typical non performances.
When we're bad we're rotten.

I blame you for not watching!

Absolutely. You just have to look at the match thread with the line up comments on this. Baffling baffling decision

[Legion]

Taken from our FB Group:

#AVFC have won the last eight games that Tyrone Mings has started, unbeaten in the last eleven and only lost one in the last eighteen.

Benched in the last two games, and we are fragile beyond belief.

Which is what a load of people said before a ball was even kicked.
This hard-on for Torres is very strange.

[PaulWinch again]

Mings might have made a difference, but this wasn’t just a defence thing. We produced barely anything and looked like we had no plan. The defence was bad, but so was the whole rest of the team.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

97 minutes of utter shit.

Sounds like I should be glad circumstances dictated that I couldn't.
