  1. Who honestly expected any other result? Yes, we played well, but you don't deserve anything if you miss your chances and that game was all about OUR missed chances. Three home losses in a row. Season in serious danger of dribbling to a conclusion. Absolutely classic Villa. Well played United.
  2. **** pathetic. Better team and can't score. Aston Villa you deserve to lose this game. **** off.
  3. We were better after the goal, but I am sorry, failing to score from the chances we had is very poor. We will deserve to lose if we don't take our chances.
  4. Got to take your chances. We are going to lose if we don't.
  5. Once again our decision making in promising situations is wank. You HAVE to take your chances.
  6. Feels pivotal. So many things against us at the moment... injuries, poor from, tactics looking less effective, Villa Park no longer a fortress, rivals looking stronger as we dip and 'we must win'. One thing's for sure, we have to score first to do it. Concede first and we could get smashed again.
  7. I could be wrong, desperately want to be, but the sense of inevitable dread I am feeling at the likely outcome of this match is strongly encouraging me not to bother watching. That instinct is a reflection of the drop off in performances we have seen over several months and not a comment on results, or what has been achieved so far. Does Emery have the nous to mastermind a turn around in our fortunes? Of course he does. Can the players that are left, after injuries have taken their toll and fatigue is accounted for, do what he wants and do it to the level needed to maintain our trajectory? We'll find out very soon. We all hope they can, but it doesn't feel like it at the moment. At our best, we were/are a finely tuned kit car, punching above our weight in relation to the established sports car brands. After losing a few key parts to wear and tear and replacing them with spares, suddenly, we don't look anything like the monster Unai first built. Question is, does he have everything he needs to make us purr again, or have we just taken too many hits? Based purely on what we have been seeing, I'm erring towards the latter. You've done it before Unai, can you do it again?
  8. Absolutely spot on. How often when watching us do you feel we are going to win a 50-50 challenge and mount an attack? Personally, I don't ever think that.
  9. I don't think you can set aside the quality of opposition, but it wasn't just that, they also, inexplicably, just let us play and we invariably dispatch the teams that do. Bizarrely, they worked out how to nullify us in the game at Villa Park and then were wide open in their home game, so of course we steam-rollered them because they invited us to do it and we have better players. In tonight's game, Chelsea looked up for it and were excellent. They harried us, wanted it more and did not let us play, so were miles better. It's not complicated. They did to us, what we did to Sheffield Utd, albeit on a lesser scale.
  10. Name me one thing (anything), that is more typically Villa than encouraging you to believe and then disintegrating into irrelevance?
  11. Score first and we have a chance, but I would say another loss is much more likely. We are vulnerable against any aggressive, half decent team. In a word, we are timid.
  12. Who thinks we are going to win against Utd and why, let's hear it...
  13. They were excellent. Take your Villa goggles off. Wanted it more, kept possession, played quickly, made incisive passes and took their chances. We did none of that. Only one team in it.
