Squad limitations were exposed today. On a positive note Roberto De Zerbi is not Gra-ham Potter therefore today's defeat was not as bad as it would have been because he's an altogether better class of Albion manager.

He will be a superstar but it was a decision that back fired today. To me he looked completely ou of his depth
Gross should’ve replaced Lallana with Lamptey or Veltman the sub IMOIt all went pear shaped when Lallana went off. De Zerbi f***ed up bringing Enciso on rather than Gilmour, he lost every single ball he went for before he was subbed.
Bad day at the office worsened by the weakest ref I have seen this season. He let Villa get away with shitehousing and time wasting all game.
Called the end result 30 mins into the game.
Villa bossed us
To round it off the exit from the Uni carpark was an absolute shambles

Oh I agree ….but you kind of only find out by playing him ..he was suited to the role (which meant no change of kshape’) ..just didn’t measure up to the challengeHe will be a superstar but it was a decision that back fired today. To me he looked completely ou of his depth
Agreed he wasn’t removed because he was playing well, needs a loan.He will be a superstar but it was a decision that back fired today. To me he looked completely ou of his depth

I see Veltman has grown a beard (he didn’t have one before did he?)….totally off topic

Felt-man ?
I agree, but I think there was more of a case for putting on Gilmour and moving Ali Mac forward to do that role in Lallana’s place

I don’t think anyone can predict when someone is going to be off their game or that The Llama would succumb but Enciso should have been taken off much earlier and Tross was totally ineffective from the start - I agree it’s not hindsight to recognise that at the timeIt all went pear shaped when Lallana went off.

Just a litany of errors really - timing of WC, unexpected injury and well … playing Villa in front of a crap ref with VAR conspicuous by its absence when it mattered - fcuk it - moving on …

It’s only the weak ref and the complete f*** up by VAR that is keeping me from being despondent about today. We were robbed
The second Villa goal was very very poor from the Albion though.

Lallana went off in the 5th minute - do you really think Dunk was that poor in the first 5 minutes, bad enough to make that call?
Yes been picked up already. (See #1403)
Silly point on my part, but he looked uncomfortable on the right initially and got a lot worse.
It was a poor sub, when IMO there were better options which would have supported our shape.

What a signing, TB/PB pulled another rabbit out of the hat.
RDZ puts a smile on faces.

Just goes to show how daft all those people who came back at those of us criticising Potter’s tactics this time last year during our horror run with “well who would replace him, nobody could do better” were
This. Given Potter was awarded an improved contract relatively quickly, surely RdZ warrants a pay rise already?!
Not Trossard’s
He's a great football manager, he's not a miracle man.
