Wolves v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[LeonW]

All the warning signs were there….and ignored. As soon as I saw the line up, that was clear.

Important we look at the game tomorrow Man Utd v Palace, so Palace are no push over if Palace can get result, even a point, we stay 3rd, I always thought it would be a question of clinging on and so it could be, this ain't the end of the world.

Then we have to go to Chelsea, and its up to us, no excuses, meanwhile all eyes on Man Utd v Palace.

We’re at home. Wouldn’t want you to miss it.

We always struggle against a team like wolves - it might well be why unai has struggled to replicate his amazing achievements at the biggest clubs.

It’s been the same since he’s been here - along with a bit of bottling it.  But clearly he has worked miracles

Plenty of players with enough in the bank - a few like Onana who probably need to focus on being good enough for Villa before worrying about anything else.

There are recurring themes - bottling it, struggling against low blocks, poor  / unsuitable recruitment - these need to be sorted assuming Unai is here long term (and I hope to god he is) 

Bad night - the worst under Unai - but if anyone can put it right he can.  Let’s just beat Chelsea and go from there.

The worst team in Premier League history. Absolutely fucking shameful. There is nothing that comes close. 3rd in the league? You abject fucking cowards.

But you told us all we were pathetic for predicting this!

You’re like a WW1 Field Marshall.

Only good thing is we wont have to go to fucking  molieniux next season

Moulinex make things simple and that includes the price.

[darren woolley]

I'm very disappointed that was bad.

[kippaxvilla2]

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

Nah, there were bigger shockers under Lambert and Garde.

Yea come on.  I’ll give you three.  2012. 0-8 0-4 0-3 in three consecutive games.

[kippaxvilla2]

Oh followed not long after by Bradford. Twice.

[astonvilla82]

Very strange that most of you think that you know better than a man who had bought us to where we are now….with all the restrictions we’re currently third……so much fucking entitlement in this fans base….

No entitlement at all just calling out another terrible performance

[Drummond]

We need the composure of Kamara, control of Tielemans and drive and determination of McGinn. Nobody else comes close in our squad.

We've lost all of those attributes and seemingly can't replace them not balance the team effectively.

Onana, Luiz and Bailey just aren't a patch on them.

I wouldn't have replaced Sancho, he's looking more effective but as a connector rather than a creator. Alysson for Buendia was a better call. And Abraham for Watkins made sense too. I'm sure Emery doubts the defensive pairing of Torres and Maatsen but that would have given us more of a threat.

The problem in a game like this is us countering the opposition rather than letting them worry about us.

If we play like that on Wednesday and Chelsea turn us over, it's going to get incredibly toxic very quickly.

[Pat McMahon]

Other than Martinez, who didn’t really do anything wrong, and Cash who is prepared to get stuck in, I thought we were abysmal.

We offloaded Bailey, Buendia and Luiz for a reason and two of them started tonight. Buendia was too weak in midfield and lost the ball on several occasions. He was also hyped up and was trying very hard to get a yellow. Luiz was so so but not spectacularly shit.

Or slow slow style of play is too predictable and easy to play against. Poor efforts from Watkins, Pau and another one showed a lack of self belief and allowed Wolves to get a foothold when their fans were getting angry. The game became more physical and you don’t want Buendia, Sancho and Bailey in a scrap. We became frustrated and played without intelligence. Shit as we were, the subs made us worse.

I have zero positives tonight. At some point I howled abuse at every one of our players but Emery needs to have some responsibility too for not having an alternative game plan for opponents like wolves.

[Aldridge Villa]

Predictable in so many ways and not a surprise.

Nail knocked on head.

That’s just silly.
