Not only that but we rested Torres in a European semi final just so we could lose against a poor Brighton team.

He had some strapping on his thigh, I reckon he's been patched up as well.

Brighton deserved to win, but the question is why they even bothered to show up given they have NOTHING to play for. A performance purely out of random spite, it seems.

An absolutely appalling referee performance (which would have been the same even had we won). Also, why VAR needed to take several minutes to work out both disallowed goals is baffling considering they were both a good 20-25cm off and already had the six-yard box as a guide.

Finally, and I said it months back, but this knocking it around like we're 5-0 up when we are, in fact, only one goal behind in stoppage time, has to stop. I genuinely don't understand the lack of urgency.

Straight down the tunnel like every single other match. There's work to do.

Emery's quit. You heard it here first. Subscribe to my page for my hyperbolic reactions after a bad game.

Stumbling along now. Injuries taking their toll on the squad and performances after a long, hard fought season. Losing Roger’s so early a big blow, looked unbalanced and out of sorts thereafter.

Olsen MOTM, nearly the hero. Cash also played well.

Luiz and McGinn not enough in the middle, not much going on around them either. Hopefully Tielemans is back along with Emi this week.

 

Not sure Carlos offers too much to this squad, if he leaves as the big senior player to be sold he won’t be missed by me.

Because Emery doesn't rate Tim one bit and won't play him unless completely forced? Isn't it kinda obvious by now

The whole team is exhausted...  Never looked like scoring and we were dead our feet for the last 20 minutes of the match.  Brighton beat us like we've beaten other teams all season...  Stay compact, let the opposition press themselves to exhaustion and nick a goal late on when they've run out of gas.  I've heard all season about fans from other clubs moaning about how much injuries have killed their season and blah blah blah, but we've had some of the worst injury luck in 2024 I can ever remember.  Hopefully Rogers is alright because we looked lost up front after he went off.  We're relying on Spurs to bottle it now.

Also, Olsen was outstanding today.  Never put in a foot wrong, saved a penalty, and was unluck on the rebound  from the save.  Was by far his best performance in a Villa shirt.

I love him to bits but Emery is getting it completely wrong for me. We are running on fumes and getting over run of late yet instead of putting another midfielder in he is going with both Bailey and Diaby and it just isn't working. Diaby in particular is a passenger.

He clearly doesn't fancy Iroegbunam but needs must. 

This. Diaby is too lightweight and would have been better to play Tim.

I doubt he would have been straight down the tunnel had we got 3 points.

Emery is an excellent manager....

... but even I could smell Konsa stinking up the place via the TV. Had to sub him off earlier - he made Adringa look like a good footballer.

? Andingra *is* a good footballer (obviously so).

Cash played well, Tim offered little since he had chances in this team, the decision was obvious?

As poor as we were, we could have won that with a clear penalty not given! 

We essentially lost because Adingra is better at diving than Rodgers.

Adingra was lucky to not get a second yellow before the pen after pulling Ezri's shirt. Gross should have been off also for a second booking. And yet, Cash gets a yellow for a minor infrigement. Just no consistency in the last 20 or so.

Give the team a break man . Been up there basically all season and we are tired and riddled with injuries . A lot of OTT reactions here. It’s the toughest league in the world where the margins are very fine. We’ve always bounced back and we will pick up points from either Liverpool or palace maybe both. If Liverpool beat spurs just forget about the result today. The chances of spurs claiming 4th are very slim. If they get beat today and we were to lose our final two games I still think spurs  wouldn’t get 4th .
