Lee Dixon when Bailey is fouled and gets a free kick - game is gone 

 

Lee Dixon when Enzo isn't fouled but gets a free kick - who cares 

I noticed that. Guy is an utter word removed. Don’t normally buy into the media-is-against-us idea but he has definitely had a few pointed digs tonight. 

Worst I’ve seen us this season. Pretty alarming lack of movement and intensity. Would be nice if our midfielders could pass to a Villa player. 

As awesome as these players have been this season, I don’t know if they’ve got the required comeback in them. Heads have dropped.

Why is the game plan long balls to Cash and Moreno?

It’s insane. To the point that it can’t actually be the game plan. But the players are doing it anyway. 

Moreno having a decent stab at delivering one of the worst individual performances in recent years. On a scale of Drinkwater to 10, he’s a 2. 

I, for one, am going to wait to hear Alex Ferguson’s opinion on this match before I jump to any conclusions.  

What the hell has happened to us? We don’t seem to play with any real game plan, particularly in attack. 

Nice to see Dyche rocking his same shit coat for the occasion.

There haven’t been many “typical Villa” moments over the past 12 months but it seems we’ve managed to squeeze that year’s worth into the last three games. 

Picked up the Portal Companion Collection to play over Christmas. 

Portal was very good but there were times when I was playing Portal 2 that I thought it was a work of genius and one of the best games I’ve ever played. 

It possibly went on a bit long and Stephen Merchant’s voice acting got a bit repetitive and annoying after a while but overall, it was magnificent.

It showed how single room puzzles can be made memorable and entertaining as opposed to the monotony of the shrines in Tears of the Kingdom.

I mean, Luiz hasn’t just been poor tonight, he’s been a bit of a disgrace. Playing like he’s had a bet on Utd. 

“It’s only a game, don’t let it ruin my week.

It’s only a game, don’t let it ruin my week.”

Repeat until I believe it.

Utterly disgusting. Everything we’ve achieved up to this point does not excuse this disgrace. 

Losing the home record and the chance to go top against the bottom team with Archer scoring , 2-0 up against Utd who’ve not scored in 4 years and that kid not got a goal in the league. 

Old Villa still alive and kicking. 

Hello darkness my old friend.

We’ve been utterly awful since our second goal. Flat-footed, lack of movement, poor passing and ball-retention, no urgency. Luiz and Ramsey been particularly bad. 

One of the clearest handballs you’ll ever see. Not just where on the arm it hit him but the fact he moved his arm towards the ball. Staggering, barely comprehensible decision, particularly in light of some of the ridiculous handballs we’ve seen given this season. 

Fair play to them. Have no hard feelings towards them and don’t think they were words removed at all. Perfectly entitled to set up how they did and hope we would’ve done the same if roles were reversed. Not their fault how the match was officiated. 

Results like this happen to top sides. Doesn’t mean it’s easy to take and it’s not going to stir emotions. There were certainly some hyperbolic posts in the match thread but cut people some slack - I think it’s fair to say we’re all emotionally invested (for better or worse). It was incredibly frustrating and there was a lot (relatively) at stake so people are going to be gutted - you don’t win anything other than likes for pointing it out.

Posting laughing emojis after we go 1-0 down is a real word removed move, though.

We're an embarrassing fan base like the other big clubs now  

**** off with your laughing emojis and smug, patronising posts. 

Probably the most gutted I’ve ever been about a Villa result. 

That’s appalling officiating. The same shot shows Ramsey’s shirt nearly being pulled off his back. Morons. 

Can literally see a freezeframe with the handful of shirt in his hand! Staggering decision.

WTAF are these arseholes on Sky talking about saying we are definitely going to drop back. On what evidence?

I’d love to know who the fourth and fifth teams that they reckon will finish above us are. Probably carrying on the Tottenham ****ing, which continues to get completely out of hand. 

Might be getting a bit carried away but I’m not sure there’s a player in the league I’d swap him for right now. Certainly not any midfielder.

Tbf, I don’t think Arsenal have settled at all either and they’re one down

Emphasising the fact he’s not a scouser to give his opinion a bit more credence. 

Liverpool supporter mate (from Llanelli!) messaging me saying we’ve got the best midfield in the league!

What a brilliant **** goal. Still can’t get used to this amazing football we’ve been playing over the past year!
