KMitch Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 lol... Are you implying we basically lost 18-0 by association? Most ridiculous premise of a thread I've ever seen. I'm not happy at all about how the team is playing, but this is absurd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwich beat Man City 2019, but the teams that beat Norwich don't have an expectation to subsequently beat Man City. We have issues, no doubt about it, but we can't extrapolate much from the first game of the season. If so, Liverpool and Man U would be relegated, a s Brighton will be champions. We all know what palace can do and how good zaha is but did we do anything about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they've shipped 16 goals and dropped 9 points. Embarassing!! It was a poor result but they have played Man. City and Liverpool away and Arsenal home since. A team or two that will finish top 10 will probably lose all three. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenfly Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Football is a weird game and every match takes place in isolation. We beat Liverpool 7-2 a couple of season ago, by that logic we should be capable of beating Bournemouth 16-0 but everyone knows that's ridiculous.

Yeah that's a fair point, but it is still embarrassing that Bournemouth haven't given a yelp since they played us and we made them look good. It is still a valid observation that we are capable of awful at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Wolves go there and turn them over 2 or 3 nil then yes it's as bad as Watford away last season. Who knows though, Bournemouth might be quite solid at home this season but still get relegated.

I’m no advocate of Gerrards tenure at villa didn’t particularly want him . He is here and his been here less than nine months . Results will ultimately be his measure of success but it’s not time yet to wield the axe. The owners are successful business people with other sports business franchises. When and if the time comes I’m sure they will react appropriately. we’re Aston Villa not Watford. That won’t matter if we are relegated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bournemouth we’re eventually going to have an emotional drop after the excitement of returning to the PL, just did it against a Liverpool team who desperately needed a win. The same Liverpool team we put 7 past two seasons ago. Why does anything need to be read into the score? Hope you're being sarcastic. Also that game was behind closed doors when players were all weirded out and labelled " silly Saturday" for a reason. Those results never happened since.

I hate to think how sorry he felt for us! This is what I mean, I know they have faced top 6 teams after us, that doesn't however take away from how completely embarassing we were. Another opening day fixture where we look like a complete shambles. Last season there were valid excuses but this season I can't think of any other than we don't know what we're doing. I have probably 10k hours FM experience may as well give me a chance next... I do it for a lot less too Edited August 28, 2022 by Villan_of_oz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
