Bournemouth v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[cdward]

Positives - we got a point from a game we have all seen us lose in the past, Martinez’s saves, our goal, Sancho, Barkley.
 Negatives - too many.
Take the point and move on.

Sean Young would have offered more.

Like Villa, she was great in the early 80s.

[Drummond]

Take an away point. On to the next

[caster troy]

In isolation a point isn’t bad, but after failing to beat 10 man Brentford and with Chelsea and Man United both winning four in a row it’s really not good.

[RamboandBruno]

Only watched the 2nd half, poor.

Only daw 1stvhalf when we were good

[andyh]

We have some great players. We also have some shite.
The shite players can be carried when we are at full strength. Unfortunately, they can’t when are not.

Buendia - one moment of magic every 3 or games masks the sea of diarrhoea he serves up the rest of the time.
Bailey - a clear reminder of why we couldn’t wait to get rid of him.
Sancho - lately he has been slightly less shit than usual. Not a great appraisal of him.
Watkins - a great servant but is closing in on being finished at the top level. Slow to react to chances in the box, and its getting very tiring watching him in one on one situations when he is so easily dispossessed or knocked over.

We have a big squad, unfortunately there is too much fluff in it

Today laid bare how we miss those three midfielders and any side would suffer. We were good first half but couldn't contain Bournemouth in the second so I was glad of the point.  "fucking hell Bailey" made an unwelcome return where I was watching, Watkins was not much better. Subs were a bit mad, particularly when Maatsen was in midfield for a wild ten minutes that nearly cost us a goal and nearly got us one. I thought Tammy deserved longer.

A hard fought point overall and it looks like a poor run now given the last few results but when you have the injuries, luck and bollocks decisions we have had to put up with it's not all that surprising.

Away draws aren't always good results, especially when you lose at home to some right blose in consecutive games. Given the battering we got in the second half, it's a decent point. Take that away, it's a bit meh.

[john e]

This Alysson cant be any worse than Bailey. 

KYoung also potentially offers more.

So would my pet goldfish Tiddles and its been dead since 1968

[kippaxvilla2]

Where we going to finish then?

[PaulWinch again]

4th.

[john e]

Where we going to finish then?

There’s not been one single second this season when I wouldn’t have snapped your hand off for a 5th place finish
I still think we’ll get there 3/4/5 it doesn’t matter to me as long as it brings CL football

[brontebilly]

Draw at Bournemouth not the worst result maybe.

[Chris Smith]

This Alysson cant be any worse than Bailey. 

KYoung also potentially offers more.

Ashley Young offers more.

Neil Young would offer more.

Jimmy Young would

Sean Young would have offered more.

Carl Jung would have offered more and also analysed where the others were going wrong.

Going to require a huge effort to win the 6/7 games (minimum) we'll prob need to get over the line from here on in.
