Wolves v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[AV82EC]

If we’re dissecting what is going wrong then your start point is the three injuries. However in a “no excuses culture” you then have to start putting it right and working out what you do next. That’s on the manager and the players to play with some purpose and find a system that works for the players available. We haven’t done that yet.

We’ve utterly lost our flow and fluidity, the passes we were making even 6 weeks ago just aren’t coming off or aren’t being attempted. Confidence has ebbed away and now you end up with a team where the Manager seems to be making some weird selections/substitutions and the players are arguing with each other on the pitch. I know for a fact Emery will sort it and I know the players were probably as pissed off afterwards as the rest of us but they need to hunker down and circle the wagons and come out punching on Wednesday.

When needs must, you just have to play 'ugly' football and grind out a result with sweat, blood and tears. We have seen the top teams do it many times in the past.

We havn't got that in our locker and it will cost us.

We were pretty ugly against Bournemouth second-half, Leeds first-half and ground out a point each. I thought we were absolutely awful against Brighton, not much better than last night, and somehow we won.
Onana scores that chance last night and 1-1 is a poor but probably fair result.

It's a complete collapse in effective attacking play that is costing us most of all.

I dont think its a collapse, its not been there all season, hence the reliance on worldies

Dougie isn’t shit, he’s been thrown into a situation without hardly any matches, into a very disjointed side completely out of form and low on confidence. We had a slump at the start of the season with many players who looked shit, but then picked up and had a brilliant season.

Luiz was miles better last night than v Leeds. He was by far the best of the front 6. Still nowhere near his best but Emery's decision to hook him early was insane. Our midfield collapsed immediately. Bailey on other side somehow making Sancho look reasonable. That was a disastrous double sub.

Agree with Bronte here.

[Demitri_C]

I agreedougie wasnt that bad at all. Unlucky not to score.  Buendia was terrible. Him and bailey need to be moved on in the summer.

Neither is good enough for this club

[caster troy]

Watkins, Digne and Buendia have fallen off a cliff and should not be starting

Bailey as first sub to change things is a joke

Barkley can’t play in a 2. If Doug can’t play 90 mins he needs to bring Lindelof on

Onana seems to be playing just to avoid getting injured

Rogers is frustrated and then trying to do too much. After Watkins messed up the early opportunity he seemed hesitant to pass to him.

We are slow, predictable and frustrating to watch.

[Allan C]

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

Nah, there were bigger shockers under Lambert and Garde.

Disagree, I’m with Ads  given our position and there’s this was about as bad as I can remember  under Lambert and Garde we were bloody awful but we were on the verge of relegation. We are Champions League contenders and they are a pub team. Thats why this is so awful

Dougie must of been carrying a knock. There's no way Unai would of brought him off if it wasn't necessary.

Someone on the radio who is probably trying to stir the shit said there was booing at half time against Leeds and they were booed off last night. I was at the Leeds game and I didn't hear anything. I watched it in the pub last night and didn't hear any booing but I might be wrong. Does anyone know if it's true? If it is whoever was doing it needs to give their head a fucking good wobble.

I went down to the concourse to get a pint just before half time against Leeds, someone said to me there was a smattering of boo’s, definitely not wide scale. Not sure about last night, as soon as ot finished i went to the kitchen to comfort eat and drink

It was said on Sky about the Leeds game, I did not hear any booing at half time at all.

I heard loud booing at half time on a podcast , not sure it was Villa or Wolves fans.

[Halfway to Moseley]

I might be misremembering, but from where I was sat in the Trinity, the small amount of booing at half time v Leeds seemed to come from the away fans and was aimed at the ref. I didn’t hear any booing bang on the halftime whistle, more like 30 seconds later as the officials were walking into the tunnel.

[JUAN PABLO]

p.s    It did remind me of a Remi Garde performance last night , no heart and desire from the players  and this tortoise football is doing my head in , where is the Villa that used  to go for the jugular from the first minute with drive , speed and intensity and get those early goals.

The subs was awful too and so late again.

[ChicagoLion]

He compounded a poor selection by chronic substitutions
