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

[origigull]

That was a hard watch. We were poor and villa good. Saying that their 2nd goal one of villa's players is in front of Steel which could have been given another day as offside. Their 3rd goal in the build up March is fouled but is deemed to early in the play to matter.

Lots of talk on this thread about Hinshelwood starting. He’s not to blame but one thing is definite- you cannot have an untried midfielder from the youth team in the premier league and hope to stay top 4- fact

Look you bunch of JCLs, we're losing a football match and not our lives! frustrating but not life threatening

Poor first half from our point of view while Villa must be very pleased going in 3-0 I have to say we have looked uncharacteristically wobbly at the back and none existent in midfield I have no idea how we might address the situation with the options on the bench.

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Love that from Joao Pedro. Konsa was giving him crap as soon as he came on. Left a little on him there

I'm hoping that this will game that changes RDZs mindset about rotation.
We have a big, quality squad, and five subs. We need to give a smaller set of players a chance to bed in together in the first team, in a match environment and use the subs to rest key men.
Making 6-9 changes, especially at CB and GK isn't a thing. Every time people start looking like they're building relationships on the pitch the team is changed.

Nothing trivial I hope Mr Watkins

Watkins down holding his leg after heading Dunk's arm. The timewasting begins....

 

[Icy Gull]

4-3. We're gone win 4-3

Sang that at Brentford a few times, didn’t happen

 

[Paris]

De Zerbi has pulled Welbeck, Ferguson and Estupinan off at half-time.

 

[The Fits]

Come on the Albion..let's have a real go at them this half.

 

[Washie]

Why bring off both Ferguson and Welbeck for Fati and Pedro? Fati and Pedro don't work together like Ferg and Welbz. Neither are a striker while both strikers need someone behind them.

Exactly what I came to post!

On a brighter note, I just need Mitoma to score or assist for £100.

 

[Icy Gull]

Am I clutching at straws to say we have not had the bounce of the ball at all today?

 

[US Seagull]

I think the offside one is subjective - so fair enough really. And we did have quite a bit of time after the foul on Solly - they rarely pull it back for things like that (for all teams not just us). We only have ourselves to blame today.

Agreed. Clutching at straws trying to put this on VAR. We sucked.
