    Bloody hell I don’t think my ticker could take much more of that. Probably one of the worst performances this season but Martinez got the lads through.
  2. striker
    Luiz has been shit all game and that miss compounds that.
  3. striker
    Probably the worst I’ve seen Villa pass the ball all season and tried their best to hand Lille the tie in the last few minutes. I mean what the **** are the players doing. Lille are now there for the taking of Villa stop sleep walking through the game?

    I think he’s got his match fitness back and pace I didn’t know he had. One other point I wish to make is that Luiz is absolutely revered on here but Villa didn’t miss him yesterday. Villa had more physicality and pace in the middle through his absence.

    MASTER CLASS BY EMERY AND CARLOS!!!

    Up your arses Arsenal.

    I’m a real hater of the high line Emery plays as it leaves the team wide open for the through ball to runners from midfield particularly a team like Arsenal but Villa have done well so far. Carlos has been imperious at the back having now reached full match fitness again while Martinez’s save was world class. Going forward Villa hold a threat but Watkins needs to work on his first touch as his hold up play is so frustratingly poor at times! Villa won’t have the ball much in the second half so it’s important that Watkins holds it better. He was very unlucky hitting the inside of the post however! Emery’s tactics are working so far. It’s like an away European performance which will stand Villa in good stead for the return leg against Lille who aren’t as good as Arsenal.

    Fancy Villa to get something today if Emery doesn’t rest players and if Konsa plays in the middle. Konsa offers much more at CB than at FB!
  9. striker
    Nonsense! Emery was livid on the touch line. You can’t switch off like that against decent sides as they’ll hurt you. Emery also subbed several players to rest them.

    Will Villa never learn? Got the second goal and again took the foot of the gas. How many times did Villa get into Lille’s box after the second goal excluding corners? I counted zilch. No wonder Emery was losing it. Rather than go for the killer third goal Villa withdrew and finally conceded which might make all the difference in Lille. I’m absolutely fuming so will post nothing further!

    Villa are easing off again after getting the second goal and Emery is going ape shit!!
  12. striker
    I can certainly see Villa scoring several in the second leg.
  13. striker
    Pretty even first half with both teams looking dangerous on the break. If Watkins first touch had been better then he could have had a hat trick in the first half. Conversely Lile could have scored a few too so all to play for.

    Just watched the PSG V Barca game. Fantastic extra quick football! With the greatest respect Villa aren’t ready for that standard of football yet.

    I thought FFP rules were going to be changed in the summer as too many clubs are struggling to stay within the boundaries set?
  16. striker
    Just think Villa have to learn to win two halves of football. Will need to get something at Arsenal with Spurs winning and I think Villa will, more so than against Liverpool.
  17. striker
    Pretty much the above. Since Emery moved Konsa to RB Villa have been conceding too many goals. For me has weakened both the centre and right of defence. Villa get no benefit at all with Konsa at RB. Actually could be the decision that costs Villa that fourth place? Here’s an idea. Play your best players available in their best positions! Villa have a very weak mentality. Shown it all season when needing to win yet still find themselves in fourth although dropping two points from two up really opens the door for Spurs who now have two games in hand. Konsa simply has to be returned to CB to partner either Torres or Carlos. I’d also consider dropping one of the wingers for an extra midfielder to make it harder for teams to play through Villa!
  18. striker
    Exactly right!
  19. striker
    He isn’t out of form. One good game in every 5-6. Been the same all last and this season.
  20. striker
    Ramsey is out for the season according to Emery which is another blow but EMI, Watkins and McGinn back will be welcome. Tough game tomorrow though and it was bad tempered at Brentford so Villa will need to be on it from the start!
  21. striker
    What difference does that make? Wherever you are at this point in the season points and goal difference are more important than performances!
  22. striker
    They got the draw while Villa conceded 4. If you are happy with that then good luck.

    Think the above post is a very honest summary of Villa’s present form in particular the second paragraph. I too am alarmed at the drubbings suffered this season which are unbecoming of a fourth placed Premiership team. I’ve read some of the excuses like injuries and fatigue. While I have some sympathy for the first I do not believe you can use the second as most of the players used should have been reasonably fresh. You could also argue that City were under strength too resting two of their best players! Arsenal demonstrated how to nullify City in the previous game so much so that a much lauded Foden looked ordinary. Villa’s high line is an invitation to the better teams to hit through and over the top passes to break the offside trap. We’ve seen it time and time again even in pre-season against teams with pace! Whilst I fully admit Villa were suffering from a spate of injuries last night I was frustrated to see Emery setting up Villa as he has done all season without adapting much to the opposition with no plan to nullify Foden. Foden must love playing against Villa. For such a talented player to have the freedom of the park it’s no wonder he scored a hat trick last night. It was naive in the extreme by Emery especially when the team was injury hit. He could have at least tried to smother City through the middle as Arteta did. Arteta has learned the hard way against City in previous games against Pep so maybe Emery will now do the same next season at the Etihad rather than going toe to toe with a better team?

    Nope out sick. Olsen playing
  25. striker
    After watching the game against Arsenal I don’t think Villa have too much to fear. Fell asleep trying to watch a bore draw! Villa have the pace to expose an injury hit Man City back line so I expect Villa to do exactly that!
