So because we are in transition, no criticism allowed? If those criticising have misunderstood please clarify precisely which elements it is okay and not okay to comment on?
-
Utter cack again.
-
Denied another penalty, lead twice away from home and failed to win against ten men... again. We deserved to lose that purely for our loose passing. You just knew that equaliser and winner was coming. When we get good fortune like a sending off we throw it away. Killed ourselves. Oh and Taylor is now starting to be shit at everything.
-
So would you if you knew having to shoot or cross the ball into the box guaranteed you filling your pants.
-
He posts on Villa Facebook groups now in the same haughty style he did here. I once asked him why he left VT and he said he was hounded off after receiving death threats.
-
Not sure anyone expects anything much particularly - they'd be foolish if they did. We all know it's going to be a slog. As such, it's only natural to identify our weaknesses and express our opinions on what needs changing.
-
Thanks.
-
I do.
-
Okay, well argued. Lots of passion, poor execution.
-
I have done, thanks. Torn apart sounds unreasonable, you should illustrate your point with examples
-
Torn apart...?
-
Depressing how predictably our attacks fail when he gets the ball in advanced positions. Weak.
-
Agreed, we are a team in transition and that we shouldn't write them off yet, but I don't think anyone is. The praise for our fight is merited, but so is the criticism of our lack of quality. In fact, fight is just the minimum requirement...it won't be enough to keep us up, if we don't improve. Reckon we will? If so, why?
-
Anwar has something, but all too often it is not the ball.
-
Correct. Should have paid the money.
-
Much needed point, good battling, but our decision making when in possession was woefully bad. We lacked quality.
-
We have actually done better than I expected us to. We weren't overrun by them and have shown some attacking promise, but with slack passing thrown into mix. That said, so far, it is is a hundred times better than the Palace performance. We could just as easily win this as lose it. One or two of those slack passes have come from Nakamba, but I like his energy.
-
To be fair, there's not much difference between 17th and 18th, so whichever it is, (if that's what it is... and you did say you'd be happy with 17th), we will have been fairly shit all season and lost loads of games. As such, not much point worrying really if there's only going to be one place in it.
-
West Ham should be fun.
-
I get that it is metaphorical, but what kind of comment equals "bed wetting", just so we are clear?
-
The sixth placed team has 6 points, which is one win away. Admittedly, we were cack today, but it's early days. Worried about playing more physical sides because until Davis came on we showed nothing and nothing stuck. Wesley somewhat Jekyll and Hyde.
-
The most annoying thing about him, which I seem to recall being a feature of the pre-signing analysis, is that he often boots it way ahead of himself and the defender before then somewhat predictably losing control and/or possession of the ball. When this tactic does pay off, his end ball decision making is frequently poor. So far, anyway...

Ratings & Reactions: Crystal Palace v Villa
Lerner's Driver replied to limpid's topic in PL: Crystal Palace a
We will obviously lose some games this season, but it's the manner in which we did today which is a very big worry. We created nothing, were sloppy in possession and generally outplayed. Yes, Trezeguet going off influenced the game, but it only made the outcome even more likely. In a word, we were shite. Lansbury's goal at the end should have been given, but we would not have deserved it and it would have papered over some pretty big cracks. Lots of very poor performances today. -
They do. How have they done so in criticising Neil Taylor in this thread? The vast majority, if not all, have noticed his good defensive performance and very poor attacking play. He is unfortunate in that now Guilbert is showing what a modern wingback should be. The argument is reasonable, not exaggerated.
-
Completely agree. The modern wing back absolutely needs to do both, or you sacrifice a critical element of your play. Particularly so in a match against so called 'technically superior' opposition, where counter attacking is also your best chance of suppressing the opposition. Taylor has admitedly been very solid defensively in all three matches so far and is getting forward more than I ever remember him doing in a Villa shirt, but his woeful lack of attacking nous really kills us at times - note the moment he broke free down the left and skied his cross with utterly predictable inevitability.
