ender4 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Awful, awful half. Arsenal are tearing us to shreds. That XI should be ashamed of that performance, as should the man in the dugout, whose tactics appear to be nonexistent. I just thought the Arsenal players were simply better than our players. Not a performance issue with our players, we just couldn't get the ball and attack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 the worst part is that arsenal are outworking and outrunning us when we have the ball. we are letting players like ozil win 50/50 battles, we are giving away the ball cheaply under any sort of pressure. too many players have not turned up.

Dodgyknees Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 At least it's better than the last FA cup final we were in, only half the teams are shit this time. Maybe in 15 years time we might have a shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Only Villa can take such a magical day, such a great day to be a Villa fan, a day to be proud of and make me wish it would end right now.. I really expect better from the second half, if we're going to lose then go out with a fight. I don't envy Sherwood as there are maybe 4 or 5 players that need to come off and he can't do that.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I agree we have been below par But Arsenal have been sensational got to give them some credit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Going pretty much how I expected it to. Getting totally outplayed. Why did I get so excited about this? yep exactly how i saw this going as well, only chance is on the break or from set pieces and we are not getting fwd quickly enough and stupidly high crosses straight to the keep Grealish shouldn't be losing the ball in central midfield sort them out Sherwood!

foreveryoung Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 No disrespect to Grealish, but this game is to much for him. Experience is needed for a FA cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 So give it 10 mins in second half to get into the game, then do a very brave triple substitution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Terrible. They rip us apart every time they have the ball. Richardson has been excellent to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see how you can blame the manager here. What else is he supposed to do? You can't polish a turd, although he managed to roll this one in enough glitter to keep us up. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a performance issue with our players, we just couldn't get the ball and attack. Although Arsenal are in top form, our performance is still absolutely awful, our ball retention and movement in the final third is absolutely shocking. Changes must be made at HT.

mightysasquatch Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 It was always going to be an up hill battle but we've literally made it easy for Arsenal. We have done well to get in only 1-0 down. Our ball retention has been shocking & too many players diving in getting booked out of frustration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YLN Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I think we should be celebrating that we're only one down. Arsenal have been good, but I think we need a change. I think Gabby could be a hero today. Grealish is being frozen out completely. Same with Benteke. Arsenal have torn that trio apart and only allowing Delph to get on the ball, he then looks to play it to Grealish or Benteke and when he can't, he over plays it and loses it. He looks like he's having a bad game, but it just means that Sherwood needs to give him another option. I'd like to see Bacuna and Gabby on. I don't think Sinclair is a player that will turn this game around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicho Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Gabby and Sinclair on for Grealish and Zog or go 442 with Gabby on for Zog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
