villa89 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 We look like an accident waiting to happen defending set pieces. We'll concede plenty from corners and free kicks this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 From the highlights Rotherham had one chance which looked like Chester was missing from the back 4 and Rotherham player hit side netting. Except for that it looked like a walk in the park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for that it looked like a walk in the park May well have been a mental thing given our recent results but it didn't feel like that (to me at least) when watching it. Felt like we were inevitably waiting for the equaliser and I'm pretty sure they had one other really good chance that didn't make the highlights for some reason. Good block from I think Chester. Actually thinking about it there was a header from Wood which missed by an inch that also didn't make the highlights. In truth we had some chances to put the game away ourselves but second half was classic Villa. No urgency (except from McGinn) to get the goal to put it to bed. Defense in the main did OK. But Rotherham I thought were pretty pants going forward even though they did try to give it a go.

villa89 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Right up there with the worst defences in the league. Deserved to lose 4-1 today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he did ok today actually, distribution especially. Hutton had a good game, Chester looks flustered as he's doing 1.5 times the wotk he should be having to do with Jedi in there IMO. Jedi is great 1v1 in the air, ok 1v1 contesting a 50:50, his positioning isn't great though and he doesn't have the speed to recover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Chester goes for walks though. Many times today Jedinak was only central defender there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) Total shite. We have conceded 7 homes at home in 5 games already- 3 of which we have let in 2 goals. If that is not resolved fast we are going nowhere. Edited September 22, 2018 by The Fun Factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 We miss Terry massively. Not just off the pitch but on the pitch as well. Our defence has gone to shit this year as there is no leader in there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many times today Jedinak was only central defender there The reason this happens is because Jedinak either has the wrong positioning or he tries to intercept the ball without safety, thus Chester ends up being dragged out of position.

sne Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Anyone actually surprised we look the way we do in defense? Think it was utterly predictable we look exactly as crap as we do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 18 shipped in 11 league games. That's just wow! Even looking at this lopsided squad and neglected defense at the start of the season I could never imagine it would be this bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) So playing a back four of four right backs isn't the answer? Looks like our 'buy all the right backs' transfer policy wasn't so wise afterall. Who'd have thought. Edited October 2, 2018 by villa89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 How does Chester get away with abuse again. He is like teflon. Not first penalty he has conceded this season and is an accident waiting to happen If Micah Richards or Lescott was never Villa captain then Chester would be the worst we have had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 We should sign Christopher Samba on a 3 match contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
