Wolves v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[LeeS]

I’m going to throw out a positive. I thought Alysson looked lively.

I’d call a few of our loanees back and give them a go. They must be able to play better than that shite.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Got to hope this is the nadir, getting done by one of the worst teams ever in the league but I’ve been here and felt like this before with Villa. It deffo feels like the team just does not give a shit.

Either that or they're all shit scared of getting injured. Another cowardly performance from too many.

Never want Barkley in our team again

The worst Villa performance I have seen in 30 years. Absolutely disgraceful. Utterly shameful.

[PaulWinch again]

Absolutely pathetic - again. We have been playing like this for weeks and now the results are catching up with us.

Every game - no intent to attack, no apparent plan and just the same mistakes again and again. Injuries or not we are massively underperforming.

[Clampy]

If Onana had put that chance in he had at the end, I would have felt happier but not much. That was absolutely shocking. Where do you start?

[Steve67]

We've scored five goals in our last eight games.  Our movement was awful, our desire was even worse.  I know we can't replace them all at once but Torres, Digne, Buendia and Watkins all need to have a rest in the next two games as they offer nothing at the moment.  Emery had a really bad day at the office but as others have said, if you always do what you've always done, you will always get what you've always got.  Ponderous, slow.  Poor decisions from Emery.

[KevinGage]

I would not back us to beat anyone we are so poor. One of the worse things to happen is Bailey coming back off loan.

Worst was allowing Malen to leave. A simple "Not until the summer" would have been enough.  Instead we have nothing up front. Nothing.

Tammy has shown what he can do in the brief glimpses he’s been on yet Watkins still starts. Although Malen was a great option.

Seen highlights earlier of Malen driving into the penalty area and helping to create Rogers' first goal v Leedzzz away and Buendia's against Spurs in the cup.

As well as leadership in the middle of the park that's something we badly miss.

We're too one paced up top.

[ChicagoLion]

That's the first time I think Emery's decisions have ever made me angry.

Luiz was arguably our best (well, least bad) player, yet he gets withdrawn and Buendia - already on a yellow card - stays on.

I think that single decision lost us the game.

I dunno. Leaving Watkins on for 70+ minutes.

Putting Tammy on, leaving Ollie on and going two up top. I don't like it but ok. It finally got Rogers into the game on the left. But then take Ollie off a bit later to bring Alysson on and put Rogers back into the middle again. That's just bonkers stuff. Take Bailey off again

Yes it shows Emery lost the plot and is struggling to cope with the missing players. There is no plan B, just hope and panic.

[Legion]

The worst Villa performance I have seen in 30 years. Absolutely disgraceful. Utterly shameful.

Saw worse in our relegation season.

[kippaxvilla2]

Worst performance under Unai by a mile.  And unfortunately as for the last few games his selections were baffling.

[selly park trinity]

Yeah it was very bad but not the worst ever

[Des Little]

Humiliating. I hope they’re embarrassed of that performance.

[RamboandBruno]

Pau missing that header, Onana missing that chance at the end, we created fuck all else as far as I can remember.
I didnt understand taking Luiz off before Beundia, but there was so much else wrong and this has been the pattern now since mid January.
Dreading Wednesday as it stands

[PaulWinch again]

The worst thing about it was it was so crushingly predictable - this idea of “controlling the game” only works if you can then break the game. We can’t currently - we just invite pressure, concede and cannot do anything from open play,
