Any kind of pressure and we just revert to hoofing Even average players can pass and move, it's called coaching, not something we seem to do, we only specialise in kick and rush and it's not good enough. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The better footballing side doesn't always win though so who knows we might still get something here. I really don't know about that at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeAVFC Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) Cant afford to panic. Stay in the game as long as possible we can still do this. Albeit its not looking good at the moment. Edited May 26, 2018 by MikeAVFC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a embarrassing mentality for such a big club such as us. Indeed. But to be fair in the very beginning it seems we were high pressing, then went back into our mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is depressing. I don’t think it matters who’s on the pitch tbh. We need to be playing and pressing much higher.

striker Posted May 26, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted May 26, 2018 Can’t believe Villa started with the same tactics against Boro. Have looked ponderous and a team full of players which are in the twilight of their careers against a young vibrant Fulham side with a progressive manager who teaches and preaches pass and move football. Villa do have players like Fulham but they’re stuck in the U23s and it’s scandalous that they haven’t been used more. For me Bruce’s biggest mistake. One last thought on that pathetic first half performance. Terry showed exactly why on 40 minutes he should never play in the Premiership again and sadly the Fulham’s mangers comments prior to the game have so far proven right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digavilla Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I always felt have too many over the hill / past it players ... you need at least few young / hungary in the team to balance it up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villabromsgrove Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Is anyone really surprised about the way the first half has gone? A Fulham team coached by a technical footballing manager, and a Villa team managed by a negative "let's stop them scoring and sneak one has been". The players need to tell Bruce to shut it and go out and play for the shirt. Get in Fulham's half en masse, get in Fulham's faces. Shove this negative excuse for football and make us proud!
