Poor from Diaby why not play the overlap with Bailey

Diaby's decision making is very poor generally. He has scored some straightforward goals, which is good, but when he has the ball he almost always makes the wrong choice,

I think we were doing well. Our defense just keeps giving.

Poor from Olsen? Looked very near him.

Congrats for winning the first negative blame Olsen post.

Are you okay?

Damn, I saw a line up on Insta but it was old...

Emi!

Olsen! Olsen! Olsen! Olsen! Olsen!

If Emi is also out in the return match, I hope Joe Gauci sits on the bench. Should it end in a penalty shootout, we can swap him in for Olsen.

Olsen has only saved 3 out of 33 penalties. Saves 0,5 out of 5. ( on par with De Gea)

Joe has saved 5 out of 13. Saves more than 1 out of 5

Emi has 7 out of 36. Save 1 out of 5. 

Yet another stick to whip Olsen.

I feel sorry for Olsen already. We should build from the back and play for a win. Worst possible picture for him.

Under some pressure Carlos panics and does what never should be done: clears the ball right into middle with his eyes closed.

Worse than amateurish.

Terrible isn't enough to describe that decision making. The attackers were just about to give up and were nowhere close to Carlos anyway. Horrid play from him.

Go on…

Tell me that you had full faith and confidence that we could go on to win the game as soon as you knew Emi was off and Olsen was on…

The collective sound of every bum hole of every Villa fan around the country tightened at the news…

And that’s not because we didn’t want him to do well…

but because we knew he wasn’t as reliable as Emi…

facts are facts…

You're talking about something completely different here mate. You stated that Emi saves that perfect shot from Callagher, which he shot uncontested since our defenders (well, Tim) didn't close down at all. No-one saves that shot. Period.

Emi is the conductor of both our defence and attack.

Without him at the back to start the attack we were paralyzed.

Well then we are a very weak team.

I don't think we lose with Emi on the pitch.

That said we were lucky not to end that with a loss.

Take the point and move on. One more point for Spurs to get.

How is that? Our defense broke down, not Olsen.

Got a point we didn't deserve. 

These players cannot sit back and wait for the end. It's a losing strategy. Unai should know that by now.

Why were we so negative today? At home with a full strength squad. Why Unai?

Carlos. So typical of him.

Terrible from Ollie.

A point would be more than we deserve.

As deserved as can be. We've been so negative it's absurd. Unai getting schooled big time.

Luiz is so shit.

Ref is fine, Villa is not.

I don't like this game plan Unai.

We've lost already.

Terrible.

Looks bad...
