Only have to go back a few years for midweek evening games when VP was electric from start to finish, this wasn't one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted May 20, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) I was amazed how quiet Burnley were considering they were away and desperate to survive. I actually didn't think we were too bad, but we're coming from a low bar. The football is so utterly dire, a d generally unsuccessful at home that it's hard to get motivated. There just genuinely is not much to get excited about really. Edited May 20, 2022 by sidcow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And anyway it’s pretty impossible to tell how it really is from watching on tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiezels Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 There’s some proper miserable old bastards at VP ent there. Maybe these ticket price rises might see a few if them not renew and we get some fresh blood in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted May 20, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 20, 2022 We need to be faster on the ball and take more risks to get the crowd going. When we play with pace it's exciting the crowd responds. Last few games we are just playing it around the back nothing to play for and not wanting to get injured before your summer holiday. Human nature I guess but boring for fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Human nature I guess but boring for fans. I think that's part of the problem, passing the ball 20 to 40 times and retaining it for 3 minutes whilst trying to move the other teams pieces around and look for openings and mistakes is about to win man City the league Villa fans don't want it The opening half hour of last night where we completely dominated the game, had 75% possession, had a couple of chances and Pope made at least 1 good save from mcginn was somehow boring because the possession came in the middle 3rd Last night we played good football for long spells but that's not enough, good football isn't necessarily exciting football and exciting football isn't necessarily good as Leeds goal difference shows 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I’ve only been to one game abroad and that was the San Siro derby. I found the pre game atmosphere, colour, flags etc was unbelievable. But during the game the fans don’t really react to what’s happening on the pitch which leads to a weird vibe. I find this when watching TV as well. I reckon it’s why the premier league atmospheres always sound so good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's common for many European fans to chant and sing regardless of what's going on in the game. The drums and songs keep on going regardless of a refs decision, a goal, a near hit. If you were standing outside VP and not watched the game you could easily get an idea of what's going on. That's often impossible abroad. I once heard an anecdote of a British fan going to see Legia Warsaw with his polish friend and he was surprised that the signing and jumping continued once Legia conceded a goal. The Brit asked the Legia fan about this, and the Legia fan was surprised to find out they actually conceded a goal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its the opposite though, rarely in games abroad do you have fans get on the players back so easy unless they are in an absolute nasty run of form. at Villa Park the first pass backwards leads to groans and then it goes on for the rest of the game Ultras usually sing for the 90 minutes whether winning or losing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
