Fairy In Boots Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 1 hour ago, rodders0223 said: The worst drilled team I have ever seen under a Villa manager. Utterly embarrassing stuff. Tbh you have a point at set pieces, it’s like they don’t drill defend and attack from set pieces. I like Dean but it’s all gone a bit Mike Bassett with “get into em” what has happened to pressing instead we’re far too passive against top 6 sides and we just sit deep and invite pressure. Emotionally we all come away feeling like we “had a go” and he “got it right” when in fact it’s the same Achilles heel costing us again and again and again. I don’t want to be”plucky” Aston Villa we’re better than that, the acceptance of mediocrity is why we’ve won **** in in 20 odd years. Long term he’s not good enough for us to be a top 6 side, if we survive we need to replace in the summer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Being realistic he did as well as he could today. Theres not enough good players on the ball, hopefully, if we stop up, he can rectify it. If Rodri had been in our side today, we probably would have won. We need better players on the ball. Wouldn't have took El gHazi off tbh, but tats about it from his decisions 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has done well with what he has in the short time he has been here and even if we go down he probably deserves to be given a chance to come back up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that’s the most frustrating part. If we played the total opposite of today next game it really wouldn’t be surprising anymore.

This for me is Smith's biggest drawback and one of the reasons why I think many constantly find themselves changing opinion on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind the set up and defending from crosses again. Basic. Basic. Basic. Citeh are a great side. We gave away basic goals every single week. You've completely missed the role that Aguero played in the match. He constantly switched between sitting on either full back which gave City the space to play wide. I believe it's to do with a thing called tactics, rather than being us being "the worst drilled Villa team you've ever seen" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointed to see some of the comments in here which I think say more about the poster than Villa. Problem is we see completely different the performances in the league where it matters. Lacklustre, slow, lethargic, tactically poor. Next premier league game I expect a performance like today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's frustrating, but it's the life of being a fan of a lower-half Premier League side, I imagine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
