They're not overreacting. They're in pain, and they let it out there. Very healthy.

Sometimes I wonder if these guys who come on here after a devastating last second loss and calmly analyze the game looking three months ahead - did you watch the game, live with the team?

I get the venting of course. No I didn’t watch it, I no longer have a season ticket after moving to The Highlands. I’m hurting as much as anyone, I perhaps just react differently, I feel I want to protect the club when we’re down.

Yes I did and it was a terrific afternoon.

Im calm because we played very well,  could’ve won, and the defeat is less important than the performance.

Really proud of the boys today. It's no shame losing to the best team in Europe and of course in doing that we were missing our captain and best player.

Is it gutting? Yes, of course but we're giving every team a decent match and the Man City/Liverpool games were always going to be likely losses.

Onwards to the next one. UTV.

I'm happy for you mate, but that is not how people on average react. And this is the one and only reaction thread.

Fair play mate. I didn't mean to put blame on you or anyone else, but to defend venting. I love to do it myself .

A much better performance than against Man City, even without Jack.  Slackness in last 10 mins cost us any points at all.  Surprised Konsa wasnt brought on for Wes.  They'll learn from it.

Who didn't know it was coming? That's as classic Villa as you get. 

They’ve done it to a lot of team to be fair.  One of the best clubs in the world lost a 3-0 lead to them. We should be proud of the team today. We’ve come a long way.

Massively disappointing but we went head to head with the European Champions and probably Premier League Champions elect and were 3 minutes away from beating them.  We looked every inch a Premier League team who were playing them as equals and all this without our best player and Captain. 

But for Hourihane passing to Wes instead of shooting I have no doubt at all that we would have won.

Ungrateful?

My observations....despite a very plucky performance from all our players.

• Thought the 2 wingers had their best game
• Wes had a go....bit of fire in his belly.
• Nakamba's performance was encouraging...as was Targett.
• we struggle with  second balls.
• That pesky back post....we conceded a header once again.
• 85 minutes, we are getting so close to holing out.
• first 45 mins against the 2 best sides and we would have 4 points.
• yet another loss from a winning position
• We must be the only club that has VAR checked for Throw ins......just kidding with that, i think......its a disgrace.....we literally can't score now, without a belated decision, its a farce.

Villa did not deserve to come out of that game with no points.....But there are certain aspects of our game need to improve, despite the obvious good bits.....we still give the ball away far too easily.

Some people are emotional and wear their heart on their sleeves and some are analytical and able to step back and look at things calmly. 

Different types of people.

Was anyone at fault for their first goal?.....I was disappointed to concede just like the Brighton Goal, once again.

couldn't see from where I was sitting, who was at fault.

To be honest I would have been “venting” big time at the game. Most of it would have involved references to body parts below the belt!

5 minutes? Where from?

There were huge VAR checks in the first half - 4 mins

None in the second, subs yes but 5 minutes?

Jon Moss is a bent word removed.

I agree where the he'll did that come from. Bloody joke.

[hippo]

Thought the ref cost us - it was open season on Wesley - who seemed unable to challenge for the ball with the ref blowing his whistle.

Don't also think the free kick at the end should have been given....the ref played advantage - Liverpool got to have a shot on goal - but because they didn't score - he then gave them the free kick ?

Liverpool weren't great tbh , Mane was lucky to be on the pitch after a second foul...

Quite a big skirmish outside the away end after...

Think Conor was so poor when he was through. Why he didn't decided to try pass to wesley I will never know.

[meregreen]

Why don’t we ever put a guy on the far post for corners ? Would have been a simple clearance.

I can't believe exactly the same thing that happened against Arsenal and Spurs has just happened again. It doesn't matter who you're playing, no excuse conceding two goals at home after 85 minutes.

It pains me to say it, but its for this reason that i think DS needs to be moved on.

He has taken us as far as he can, and i respect his achievements, but his in game management is terrible and it happens nearly every game.

Wesley was a complete passenger all game, hourihane is not the man you bring on when youre under pressure and bringing on kodjia? I mean WTF? Talk about the least hard working player in the squad!  May have well not put anyone 9n, would have had the se effect.

For all the good DS has done to get us here and assemble this squad, his weaknesses are costing us nearly every game and its not getting better.
