wishywashy Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 None of the big moments in this half have gone our way. Own goal, Carlos miss, the offside, Madness! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't expect to beat teams lime Liverpool missing those chances. Both Tielemans and McGinn have been excellent. Best midfielders on show. However, Diaby has been truly awful again. Villa are playing with 10 at the moment. Would like to see Diaby subbed for Zanilo. A hybrid of Danilo and Zaniolo? Niche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever he was trying to do there in the box a few minutes after his Tonev, it lacked everything you'd want from a forward in that situation. Just a complete collapse as a footballer.

switters Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Going forward pretty good but we're dangerously open at the back when they break. Bailey and Watkins quality, really not happening for Diaby though he did look okay early on playing more from the right. McGinn mixed bag with some of his passes, but trying to make things happen. And better with Youri back Need our luck to turn and very much need the next goal. Game is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerner's Driver Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 There has been nice play at times, but again, some utterly **** pathetic decision making in defence and attack. Sometimes we switch from slick elite passing to League one falling over our feet in the same move. Diaby, enough said. Liverpool can't be arsed and they are still beating us.

troon_villan Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Not sure if it's a case of baader meinhoff phenomenon but the amount of completely mad freak incidents that involve Villa is crazy to me. World number keeper doing that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your point, and I agree to a point, but if you have to score 7 over two legs to win, I'd be looking a bit further back for the problems, myself.

Meaningless stat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maltesemike Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Some great performances so far coupled with a mare so far from Carlos and Diaby. They have let us down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Some good performances matched with a couple poor ones. What ever is going on in diabys brain needs swapping. Jesus a simple side foot for a goal under no pressure but blasts it row z. Controls the ball facing goal with just the keeper and back heels it to a defender ? Add in a fair few more terrible decisions. Doug is also still off form. Terrible free kick which they go straight down the other end and score, mis placed passes. Digne half hearted for the first 20 minutes but at least he has sorted himself. Mcginn torres Bailey teilmens playing well Good work from ollie for out goal but Jesus, we should be 3-2 up at least. 10 minutes is all I would give diaby and if he hasn't switched his brain on then a swap for zaniolo unless Bailey or mcginn need to come off. Huge effort and some concentration required this last 45, let's get over the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 We've done fine. Been a bit open out of possession but that's to be expected against a side of this quality. I like we're moving the ball quickly and taking some risks. Shame we didn't play like this v Brighton. Ultimately we're losing to a freak mistake and an offside goal so too early to get downhearted unless we come out for the first 15 minute snoozing. How MacAlister dosen't get booked for GBH I'll never know. Exactly the sort of decision these opponents gets so he'll make another 3-4 fouls like that to break up play and then get a yellow with ten minutes left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
