10-Man Sunderland vs 0-Win Aston Villa Post-Catastrophe Flagellation

[Goldie.7]

We buy new players, we sell them....we keep the old lot and many are done.

As soon as they sold Diaby after one season I knew we were going nowhere. Clueless!

[JUAN PABLO]

least we are unbeaten for 2 games and cash leading goalscorer, any one bet on him before the season.

Why didn't you say

Yeah you were saying exactly that as we went on the run last season to get within a point of qualifying for the CL a second tine. What a load of shite.

[Small Rodent]

Should that have been a corner after Malen’s muscled out effort?

[paul_e]

Poor. Very frustrating. We get to 25 yards and just have no idea whatsoever.
Too many players not performing and believing their own press

Our problems start a lot earlier than that. The reason we look poor around the box is because we have no space to play in and we have  no space to play in because our movement is awful and as a result everything is played in front of teams and at low pace. How many times did any of our players get on the ball in the final 3rd with time to take a touch and pick a pass? That's what we need to fix.

[Crown Hill]

Maatsen Sancho link up looked “promising”.

Except because Sancho is right footed and plays in the left every time he got past a defender he then had to double back to get on his right foot.

By no means the most frustrating thing today but one of them.

It’s always apparent when Villa are off form or low in confidence because McGinn becomes the busiest player.

[Clampy]

The only positives I can dig out are the excellent goal and not losing. It was dire apart from that.

John Townley from Bluesky

Unai Emery: "With some new players we have to adapt with the players we have, and we know we want to control the game, to dominate but I am disappointed and frustrated more for how we were not achieving our identity."

"Frustrated and disappointed a little bit, but not with the result. It should have been easier to take advantage [vs 10] but we were not playing with our identity, with the ideas we have been building in the last three years."

"There is still work to do with the point we achieved, it’s not enough, of course, after playing with one more player for 60 minutes, we should be happier, we have to work and be demanding, to get our consistency through our demands."

 "We were lazy sometimes. Lazy. The goal we conceded, we were lazy. Perhaps that’s because we didn’t play in our style."

"Watkins is not having chances to score. He had the last chance in the last minute. If he scores, maybe that’s the click to change everything."

[PaulWinch again]

Hopeless again - sort it the fuck out Unai.

[jwarry]

It's relegation form. I'm sorry but that's a fact.

It’s not though is it?  We are not getting hammered (Palace was Palace).  We just can’t score. 

[PaulWinch again]

If you don’t score you’re getting relegated.

But who have we really played of consequence? With respect to the teams we have met, we have yet to meet any of the expected 'big hitters' and when we do, play like this and it will be a bloodbath.

[LeeS]

If you don’t score you’re getting relegated.

And we haven’t played anyone good yet

This team reminds me of the last days of BFR.  He was too loyal to players passed their peak.
