andym Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 the last 20 minutes was pathetic. We were all over them, should have been going for the jugular and instead we gradually got more and mroe cautious, let Luton get back into it, and of course under a bit of pressure we fold like a cheap tent.

sonic_bouma Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 i know we've got a lot of shit players. But Gary Gardner wouldn't look out of place in a Sunday league team. And this first half has simply reminded me why we probably can't get away with playing Grealish from the start. It's like playing with ten men. He is truly woeful off the ball and not good enough on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) I gave Gardner the benefit of the doubt on Sunday but he's had an absolute mare again so far. No good enough at all. We've just completely fell apart after conceding, whats new Edited August 10, 2016 by Farlz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I thought we really bossed the game for 30 minutes. Need to be more clinical when on top. Ayew despite the goal has been wasteful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 5 minutes ago, Troglodyte said: We really need to stop thinking everything is going back to how it was before when things don't go so well. That applies fans and certainly the players and staff, otherwise the rot will never stop. So in terms of positives, I've been really pleased with Grealish's willingness to get back and cover, despite Amavi's defensive shortcomings. We're all aware of how good Amavi is, but perhaps tonight is a reminder that he's still very much developing. Gardner is the weakness for me and although I'm happy to keep him as a squad player because there's clearly some ability there, he seems weak defensively and hasn't offered much going forward. If he can replace him with some quality, we should be fine. Still a work in progress. and that it's his first competitive game back for almost a year!

Comes across as typical Villa, but we have to remember this isn't our first string and confidence is still fragile. I think we will get there eventually!

cyrusr Posted August 10, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2016 Positive for first 20/25 minutes then we have let them into the game. Richards is such a liability, we need a new right back. He can't even defend at this level. Not being impressed so far by Gardner and Tshibola but time to make an impression. Still need a new midfielder. Ayew needs to calm the f*** down! Not to panic quite yet. RDM needs to get their heads back on straight; but clearly showing we still need players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
