Aston Villa v Palace Post-Match Thread

[LeeB]

Emi is on a downward slope, I fear.

Tielemans has started 51 games this season. Rogers can’t be far off. Today they looked it.

Nothing wrong with Emi or Tielemans.  But if Rogers isn’t contributing from the off and he did less than fuck all today then you have an issue. I’d  sell Rogers personally, if we got a. daftish price. I had strong words with a bloke in the front of me about his ineffectiveness he wasn’t having any of it until he was.

I'd sell any of the fuckers for the right money after today.

Me too. I rarely suffer from Match Thread-itis but fuck me I hate all of the players tonight.

It's honestly been a comfort to come back and read someone as reasonable and wise as yourself as thoroughly pissed off as I am.

I love Pau, very open about it, but I thought Mings should of started today, but (again) I think it makes fuck all difference, we never had a meaningful attack or shot all game.
Olaftab said he knew it was done at half time and queing for a beer I didn’t really want or need, I said the  same to a mate. Palace were organised and had a plan, but we were just flat, nothing. Tired,  half cut, 30 mins home, moody, totally and utterly fucked off, the worst performance.

I can't remember the last time I felt so shit after a game. I thought I was too old to get so upset by a bunch of strangers kicking a ball around. Fucking mug.

I think today was the 56th game of the season for Tielemans and all are starts. It takes its toll.

Started today for a reason, he's been fantastic for the majority of the season.

Rogers went off the boil when Asensio joined.
Not sure what to make of this.

I think thats some of the problem, Rogers, Teilemans have been overplayed.

There key players - but you need to use the squad to ensure there at there peak at the most important times.  Mings for Pau in games like today. Cash has been good but is a limited player - particularly in our system.

We got it wrong today - and frustratingly - we had the squad available to mean we could have put out a better team

I thought the first play off final was the worst but this tops it.

Could be because he is now playing on the right instead of down the middle.

Mate. It is always great to be Villa.
Would you have it any other way?

[cdbearsfan]

Yes.

I left at HT vs. Fulham. I knew we wouldn't have a go. Another pathetic Wembley day

[LeeB]

Yes.

Right now, 100%

It wasn’t Our Year.
I thought it was, until today.

(Go, Forest! 😄)

Oh well, onward and upward. 👍
We’re still in for a CL place!

[LeeB]

I hope someone steals the cup. I'd rather war broke out than any other team wins it now.

Not long got back after being at the match earlier.  Just felt flat from the off and without wishing to talk with the benefit of hindsight, the team selection looked all wrong.

The really frustrating thing was that Palace really didn't have to do that much to win convincingly.  They just had to keep their shape and wait for us to make a mistake.  We couldn't have been a more perfect opponent for them today.
