Bournemouth v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[brontebilly]

It was utter and complete shit defending though wasn't it? I think we can agree on that?

It was horrendous but out of character to be fair. Blaming others made him look even more ridiculous.

[steamer]

Agree
Along with Emi who dd not chase back and no charge down from Mings, crap all around.
On the other hand they had many other efforts that were well defended.

[brontebilly]

How did Mings do yesterday?

Digne's defending for their goal was probably the worst defending I have ever seen. I've seen some people mention match fixing, and in all honesty that defending was so bad you have to wonder if they have a point?

Awful connection you have made there Rico. And by the way where were you when we had Richards and Lescott in the team?

Just saw footage of the handball incident. It's 100% a penalty and the referee is looking straight at it. There's no need for var. He either needs to go to Specsavers or explain why he didn't give us a penalty. It's so blatant.

I've been going to the Villa since 1977 if that answers your question

Bournemouth not a easy place to go - but man that second half was pretty bad. We were kucky to escape witha  point.  Martinez was exceptional without him we would have lost that easy.

1 point against Everton  brentford  and Bournemouth  is pretty poor tbh

Bit unfortunate to only get one point from those three games though. Struggling to break well organised defences down. Can't keep relying on Rogers.

I agree we rely too heavily  on rogers. The likes of sancho dougie and bailey need to help in the creativity  department

Buendia has been disappointing  in last few games as well

Id be tempted to get Barkley in on wednesday with Tammy , Sancho and Rogers . .

He scored a belter in our last away game, where we won.

[eye digress]

And personally, I though the barge on him yesterday was a peno. The ball was miles away.

On a side note, am I mistaken in saying we've had not league penos so far this season?

We usually average 3 or 4 I think, and got 6 last season.
 

[Goldenballs]

You're correct.

At least we've got a specialist in Dougie back to slot home the overdue ones we get this Spring.

It’s not like Digne at all to have let the player through like that. It has to be some kind of confusion in terms of positioning when the player cut inside that a CB moves across into that space. Otherwise he’s making a tackle in or around the penalty area on his weaker side risking a free kick or penalty. It obviously looks really bad but he’s a top pro. He either made a genuine mistake or something didn’t quite go to plan in the defensive set up and assignment.

[JUAN PABLO]

most fouled team yet no pens .

That's just given me the Olympiakos cold sweats over again.

Was so pissed off with Dougie that night!

To be fair, he's a decent peno taker - though not a specialist, I don't think. He doesn't have the coldness of a killer.
