Aston Villa v Fulham Post-Match Thread

How many games this season now where we should of been out of sight yet leave it hanging in the balance . Watkins x2 criminal misses and malen one too.

no more than any other team with scapegoats?

agree with most of the comments

although i thought Kamara wasn’t as bad as is made out, the first point of delivery in front of the defence he saw a lot of the ball and a lot of play was going through him especially first half
your bound to give the ball away a bit when your involved all over the pitch as much as he is

He certainly wasn’t woeful In my opinion

Not that many, and conversely we gave up very few clear cut chances so whilst it felt tense because it was 1-0 we were pretty comfortable.

we have conceded more late goals than any other prem team i believe so its relevant . We should be home and hosed top 4 . Luckily Fulham offered very little threat today .

[Taylor]

But we didn’t concede a late goal, did we?

No. my point was that was what made it squeeky at the end , we missed 3 great chances to seal it and then allowed 10 men to put us under at the end .

Everybody gets nervous when they're invested. Fulham created absolutely nothing in the last 10 minutes.

I sympathise with some posters on here with obvious disability that drives them towards finding a negative angle every match. It's not the defence today so let's have a go at something else. It's a terrible burden to carry.

Agreed.

Kamara wasn't awful but he did look like he was struggling to play at his normal tempo and it led to him giving the ball away cheaply a few times.

Given he was out for so long it's no shock that his fitness levels aren't as high as the rest of the team but he in particular looks like most of the squad did this time last season where the summer can't come soon enough.

[ROBBO]

If he stuck to being just a defensive midfielder he would be fine.

[eamonn]

Quite enjoyed that even towards the end as we invited pressure but carried a threat on the break. And my brother shrugged-off his bad Villa charm, thankfully.

I don't think it's scapegoating to mention those misses from Ollie. They were bad ones.

[PaulWinch again]

It’s interesting though to focus in on what goes wrong in a fairly comfortable win. Must make things somewhat joyless.
