Fulham v Aston Villa post-match thread

[OzVilla]

Flat, no energy, looked like we had zero to play for.

[Villan82]

My big concern for quite a while is that we have an absolute turd of a performance in us at any point in time. It would be very upsetting if we turn out another one in the Uefa Cup.

I am almost expecting it.

I hate results like those. Just limping to a 1-0 loss

It seems the performance was far worse than the result.
Why do we keep serving up performances like this ? It happens far too often.

[AV82EC]

That was back to a performance from the first 5 games of the season. Dreadful.

Oh well, onto Thursday.

[Villa in Denmark]

An absolutely masterful display of killing the game after the goal was scored. Trouble is, they scored the goal and we killed the game.

What the fuck was that?

Fucking shite. Playing to kill the game from the off and then struggled to up the tempo when they scored.

[TopDeck113]

Absolutely shite.

What makes it even worse when you lose the Saturday lunchtime game is that you just know that in all the subsequent matches, whoever you don't want to win will win.

Disappointingly poor performance. Never really looked in it after 20 mins or so, Fulham’s goal was in the post for a while before it arrived. Villa showed nothing after that either. Very passive, a worrying lack of urgency, second to everything and no complaints with the result. Fulham probably should have had a couple more.

[OzVilla]

Abysmal, Fulham wanted it more and deserved it.
Not a great way of setting up for Thursday.
Play like that and Forest will battter us.

Forest absolutely favourites now for the tie imo.

Utterly predictable: I got the Fulham goal right...

[Mellin]

I'm going to try and put some positive spin on this. If you could hand pick a game we were to lose in April over the last 7 or 8 years., then that would be right up there. Plus we have two of the bottom three up next, which would be enough.

Other than that, I don't really have anything, as it was shit.

[JUAN PABLO]

Emery wasnt happy with that Watkins miss but alot of this today was on Emery too.

[manic-road]

Slow turgid display today, and so many misplaced passes.

[JUAN PABLO]

There's still too many that aren't up to the level we're trying to get to, and they need to be moved on.

like most the subs to be honest.

Thursday was already tough. This weekend's made it like Takeshi's Castle.
