It's gone now, need to forget about it and hope he can make amends the next time he gets a chance. Could end up being the player that keeps us int he division.

People are so optimistic

Just watched the chance back. He was 100% offside in the build up so pretty sure it would have been chalked off anyway 

Are you sure? It seems like the pass came at the right time.

Why not start with both?

What's to lose if he is kept in the championship? The back 5 is probably staying (except Mings), the midfield might need new blood, and the attackers will stay and thrive. Not a lot of change necessary, and the team will be too strong for the championship.

I am sad

I see Engels here as well. Lots of high scoring dots with no names... wonder if Mings is there somewhere

Can’t argue with that but would take that over where we are now. 

People would want Smith fired in both instances anyway. Fickle fans haha

So maybe its best to go through the decisions this season. I might have missed 1 or 2

FOR.

NYland vs Sheffield United

Mings not getting a red for headbutting El Ghazi

Firmino disallowed goal

AGAINST.

Lansbury disallowed goal vs Palace

phantom corner in the Carabao Cup final

decisions vs Arsenal

Fernandes dive

Mane not getting a red at Villa Park

No penalty for El Ghazi vs Sheffield United

Engels assaulted at Bournemouth by the goalkeeper

McGinn disallowed goal vs Burnley

 

VAR stinks and even worse when led by such a corrupt league

 

Billing should have had red, and that dude that destroyed Wesley also should have had red for dangerous play.

But, the Lansbury goal could never be given, because the referee blew the whistle before the shot.

He was good at the start of the season. It was easy to see way he was brought in.

Rediculous, Finishing 5th would still be a great achievement. 

In itself yes, but not this way.

Purslow for stating that Villa would not loan in players. Purslow being overreliant on Smith doing the hard work of making a brand new team work. Stuff like this might work in baseball, but not in football.

We did a Villa. One place above Fulham.

Moneyball

No it's not.

We will not be relegated on the back of Jacks loss of form since the restart. The damage was done well before then. Instead of coming out of the break with a fresh start and being invigorated we have just continued with the same crap form.

We were in free fall prior to the stoppage. The sad thing is we have not done anything to change things. This is not the fault of one player.

The defense is better, the midfield is better, the attack is worse.

If Villa go down, which is very likely, this guys loss of interest after the restart is what's costing us. A normal Grealish would have put fear in the opposition. Now he is a flower puff.

I am sure that if Villa had survived this season, problem areas would have been addressed and the team would be stronger and better off next season. Villa has played amazing games throughout the season. You can blame individual errors, but I have never thought a season with so many wrong calls going against this team was even possible. It hasn't evened itself out. It's too late.

This is all on Grealish. He is not supporting the manager and is dragging the club back to the championship.

He is taking space in the team for no reason

Grealish needs to get his head out of his ass if Villa is going to survive relegation. Starting today.

I will be surprised if we get 30.

You're just a factory full of fun

He will be good

Fixed

He will be good!

Why is Reina starting? It's going to be a few howlers. Felt safer with Nyland.

Just now, Zatman said:

Haaland as well

Yeah, of course. I think Villa will get those type of players if we stay up. This year was always going to be hit or miss. The only thing that could have been done better, was to take in two quality loan players in the beginning of the season. Most of the players bought do have a bright future.
