Aston Villa v Palace Post-Match Thread

[ez]

Agreed fans were piss poor today...

If they were in not surprised given what was served up.

Gave as good as we got noise wise until we went behind. Penalty miss gave us a lift then Sarr goal killed it completely. Loads leaving on 80 mins around us and you can't blame them as we offered nothing. I've been at much quieter games tbh

There's a thing, Emi celebrating the penalty miss as if he saved it.

Can someone who knows, tell us about the who does what based on league standings please?  We know the top 5 finish in the Champs League, Newcastle winning the League cup does what to the finishing places, Europa, Conference placings etc if Palace win the cup or not?  ta.

Yeah I have been trying to work this out.  My thinking is:

1 - 5:  UCL
6 - Europa
7 - Europa if A UCL team wins it (Man City or maybe Forest) Otherwise Conference League (assuming Newcastle finish in the top 6)
8 - Conference League assuming 7 is Europa

No idea what happens if Man Utd or Spurs win the Eurpa or Chelsea win teh Conference. 

Thanks, not really clear to work out is it?  I read in an article recently that stated that we could have as many as 11 English teams in various competitions next season.  I was wondering, if we beat Fulham, we pretty much guarantee ourselves 7th place and have Conference football.  I guess we really need City or Forest (if they finish above us) to win the FA Cup to make absolutely sure.

Just stopped feeling nauseous after watching that. Was trying to eat me tea in the second half and wished I had left it tbh. What a fooking let-down - they just bullied us pure and simple - as soon as I saw Kamara struggling it was obviously going to be a bad day. I always say I know nothing about football but just love the Villa so have no idea why we looked so lacklustre or what the answer is

I tell you what statistically the old, “do you want to bet against us?” is heavily tipping towards - yes - sadly.

If Man U or Spurs win the Europa then they automatically go in the CL with no effect on anything else.

If Chelsea win the Conference League then they qualify for the Europa League but if they also qualify for the CL I think their Europa League place goes somewhere else and not England (?).

Sixth - Europa
Seventh - Europa. If Palace win the cup, then Conference

No effect on league if any English team wins any European competition.

We needed far more physicality today. Mings and Onana are both physical players at 6'5". Can someone explain why both were ignored and stayed on the bench?? Completely baffling by Emery!

Pinching that off your small heath mate sucks

It still made me laugh.

Come on man that's just piling on the agony for no good reason.

Even before kick off it strangely felt like Palace's day inside Wembley this afternoon. Their team and fans seemed more up for it than we were, their players often geeing up the crowd throughout the game.  I only noticed Maatsen do the same late on... not that it makes that much difference but it felt like they collectively wanted it more than we did.

Maybe we've been spoilt with the recent run of high profile games and the increased expectation they bring.

Good luck to Palace, they thoroughly deserved it today.

Once I saw Torres in the line up, I didn’t have much hope. Playing him basically means you are likely to concede at least once. Maybe he’s just not suited to the premier league.

Is it too old fashioned to judge strikers on how many they score and defenders on how many they keep out?

What a shit show.Abjct.
Martinez 4 Best in the world?
Cash 2 Terrible
Konsa 5 Average
Torres 3 Gave the first goal, did not see him make 1 decent pass , Should have played Mings
Digne 5 Ok
Tielemans 5 looked like the games are catching up with him
Rogers 4 knackered
SJM 6 the only midfielder that showed up
Assensio 4 the game passed him by
Kamara 5 no where near his best
Watkins 5 No service no help.

Emery 3, Selection and tactics totally wrong.
