As bad as they've been under Unai

It's surely the three worst games in a row under him.

[PaulWinch again]

Only 1-0. Be much better second half and win, please.

Hard to be worse.

As bad as they've been under Unai

It’s being said more often

As bad as they've been under Unai

We seem to say that more often than we should.

Atrocious first half. Disjointed, stale and ponderous.
Why does every single player slow the game down to walking pace ?

The tippy tapping approach is dead. The best teams play with pace and tempo.

Pau ? Fucking hell.

[eamonn]

It was a foul. He's jumped into Emi while he's in the air.

Neutrals say no. We got away with it. Emi acting the bollix again.

[Rigadon]

Emery won't last the season.  Too many poor decisions, too wrapped up in worrying about the opposition.  The incompetence of his mates in tbe transfer market haven’t helped, but it's looking like hes lost the dressing room.

What a saddo you must be to spend time on a villa forum when your own team is playing. 

[LeeS]

Something is amiss at the club. I reckon there is a general feeling that we’ve had our moment and now FFP will put us back in our place.

[JUAN PABLO]

no width  no pace  rubbish

Finished the half ok but since when have we turned into a team that targets set pieces? Martinez very fortunate to get away with that goal.

For the goal, just highlights the concern of playing a lefty like Mings at RCB. He got lost and Torres far too soft as per usual in the tackle to bail him out.

Tielemans has got us playing a bit since he dropped back. McGinn has been good. Rogers seems hungover.

What a load of limp sloppy horse shit

[Olneythelonely]

We look absolutely terrible. It’s a combination of playing overly defensive and completely shite football. Mings not winning any headers and Pau giving the ball away + running like an OAP is a big problem.

Rogers and Watkins have both been completely anonymous too.

Not one good thing to say about that half. Other than we’re only losing 1-0.

[Monty]

FWIW I thought Martinez was fouled twice!

[KevinGage]

My feed is currently showing ads for kabaddi.

Think I'd rather watch that, TBH.

[Nelly]

Massive let-off with their disallowed goal. Seemed perfectly fine to me. Reminded me of our disallowed goal against Juve. Torres, Rogers and Onana have been quite poor for me. Just sloppy, disconnected at times. Looking for positives, at least it's only 1.

Performance wise probably
