Haha because being in the position of needing to win 3/4 of our last 4 games to stay up is totally not down to anything to do with the manager, right? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

villa4europe 12,845 Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 Played well, El ghazi missed a sitter, scuffed clearance led to the goal... Blame Smith... The only real criticism I have is mcginn getting so many minutes when he's so unfit Just now, AshVilla said: Disgusting considering we've spent over 120 mill. Relative to where we started, means nothing, Everton had a £50m player on the pitch (who was wank) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, today, subs did come too late. The team that ended this game needs to play on Tuesday. We also should have brought Nakamba on. Luiz was very tired at the end (I would have taken Hourihane off though and had him give Luiz some help). Edited July 16 by Rolta Link to post Share on other sites

Much as I like the bloke and we didn't get relegated tonight - but over the course of the season (and indeed last season) we are just not tight enough in defence. In that defence you have Mings Heaton/Reinna/Target. I don't think under smith we will ever have a drilled defence - and thats a weakness you can not carry. Link to post Share on other sites
Dave-R 2,131 Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 (edited) Should of threw more men forward and not sat back, we played well but we screwed ourselves by doing the exact thing that's cost us all season. We need to win Westham and draw at arsenal that's providing the rest mess up. Let's hope Bournemouth lose rest of theres along with watford and Westham and when they play eachother Westham and watford that one of them beats the other. I just can't believe that goal against us, just so unlucky after playing like that. Should never of brought Ghazi on, what were you lot who wanted him on thinking, dont you learn that he makes mess ups in defence. Edited July 16 by Dave-R 1 Link to post Share on other sites
VillaChris 6,589 Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 Mad to think we still had 3 subs left at 1-0 up. I'd love to know what goes through his head at times at critical moments in the second half. We've seen countless times at VP when away teams are winning 1-0 and their keepers are taking half an hour to take a goal kick and they're making a sub every minute to slow the game down. As soon as Calvert Lewin missed Nakamba and Gulibert should've been on surely? 60 seconds later it was 1-1 and we've nearly run out of games now. He'll never be an established prem manager for us or anywhere else until he learns the art of closing a tight game out with substitutions and time managing/wasting. Link to post Share on other sites
