[Albion] Aston Villa vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Icy Gull]

March and Mitoma both absolute shite today

 

[twickers]

We needed this, much better to learn and develop how we set up in September.

 

[BadFish]

Good goal from watkins. Dodgy shin pass from Veltman, unlucky hit against Estupinian. Besides that and the villa curse we've been ok

Well set up for the second half I think.

 

[Bridcutt]

I agree being 3rd in the league is not looking good

Who cares about our league position? We've beat poor teams except Newcastle

No clean sheets, no consistent lineup.

 

[El Turi]

Every single player has had a shocker.

 

[US Seagull]

Positives from the first half? It could have easily been 4, 5 or even 6 down?

 

[BevBHA]

March and Mitoma both absolute shite today

Yep. Mitoma usually poor defensively too. First goal he lost his runner

 

[Eric the meek]

Individual errors have cost us, at both ends of the pitch.

 

[Littlemo]

Ok so who can guess what our half time changes will be?

 

[dstanman]

So what half-time subs is RDZ going to do

 

[Grassman]

Solly is going to go back into that ' crisis of confidence' shell. Poor control when through on goal and what on earth was he doing with that header?

It gets worse for him as VAR somehow fails to spot the rugby block on him in the build up to the own goal.

Just maybe this result could be good for us. Over the last 3 weeks every media source you can think of has been blowing smoke up our arses. Potential Champions League winners and our farts smell of roses! Were we in danger of believing our own publicity?

What doesn't kill you, makes you more strong. RDZ will give them a rocket and the senior players will have plenty to say. We write this off just like Everton last season and we move on.

Exactly my thoughts before today. Brilliantly put.

 

[Solid at the back]

Who gives a shit as long as we finish 17th or above?

 

[Icy Gull]

Yep. Mitoma usually poor defensively too. First goal he lost his runner

And March misses a sitter having been f***ing useless beforehand

Adingra and Fati on for the second half please

We are going to lose this but let’s give us some hope of a goal

 

[bluenitsuj]

We have been awful and also outclassed by Villa. Game is lost but I expect a huge performance second half.

 

[dwayne]

Very interesting that emery was very very relaxed before the game. Almost arrogant. Didn't give Brighton much respect.

He completely has de zerbis number and should be the manager on the real shortlist !! Absolute class act.

 

[brighton_tom]

Not enough protection for the back 4 from our midfield. And such a shocking VAR decision to allow the 3rd goal.

 

[London Irish]

Good goal from watkins. Dodgy shin pass from Veltman, unlucky hit against Estupinian. Besides that and the villa curse we've been ok

Haha the Black Knight lives

 

[Bridcutt]

Who gives a shit as long as we finish 17th or above?

Some of us? We've pumped a lot of money into this team and have very likely the best manager we've ever had.

 

[dadams2k11]

I expected a loss but not in this fashion.

 

[Bodian]

Ok so who can guess what our half time changes will be?

So what half-time subs is RDZ going to do

We may as well bring on Fati & Pedro (keeping Welbeck & Ferguson) and go all-out attack. We're not defending anyway!
