It is clear we know how they play and clear we know what we are trying to do - just the execution in the overall plan is just shite.

Will be better second half

Seeing a lot of “it’s Villa”. Yeah they have a number of players that would walk into our current team and a good manager…

Emery a very good coach, he’s got Villa very organised and solid. They’ve just stifled us it’s as simple as that.

It sounds like Villa are totally dominating. Mason needs to change things before it is too late.
Villa are dominating but we still have had the ball quite a bit. We keep trying to play long balls over the top trying to beat the high line buts it’s very predictable and Villa can see it coming a mile off. We must have tried it 6/7 times. Mason really needs to add some more variation to our attacking patterns in the second half.

I cannot believe how often we have been offside. Are we playing the ball too late or are the attackers going too early? Who cares, it just shows the lack of chemistry in the team.
Straight line running. school boy errors

Just take Porro off and play 4-3-3 with Kulusevski tucking in to the midfield. Really not hard to work out, we've been over-run in the middle all season.

As a collective it's hard to believe there is anywhere approaching full commitment to this game. Players strolling around, zero closing down, zero intensity. They're not trying very hard.

This is a tactical masterpiece by Unay Emery, who should be in our shortlist for next manager. Higher than anyone unproven in the premier League.
I expect Sarr and Kulu to start the second half. For Porro and Richy.
He’s a really really good manager. Id take him in a heartbeat. Miles better than anyone else on the list.

had literally zero defense at Arsenal and they weren’t patient enough to let him bring the young guys through.

he’d be insane to leave Villa for us though at this point.

Emery has tactical knowledge. And Villa are executing in perfectly. We have no tactical noise and are looking terrible.
Lucky to be 1-0. But we can’t be worse.

Can we?

I genuinely think PEH and Skipp is the worst midfield partnership in the league.
Hojbjerg is the main issue. Everybody seems to avoid that just because he seems to be a leader. I tried to defend him until Bentancur's injury. It highlighted how limited he actually is and was carried all along by Bentancur. I'm really worried no one see through that and Hojbjerg remains next season. He needs to be gone for our game to be dynamic. Had enough of him.

The offsides are coming through long balls as we’ve got no creativity in the midfield. I think that makes it more difficult to judge the line.

Could be our worst 45 minutes of the season, and there is some competition for that. Absolutely nothing in that half. No effort, no control, no tactics. Zero shots. Lucky its only 1-0. Villa don't look all that either.

Why are we playing this lopsided, shite formation that evidently is confusing the players just to accommodate Porro when he’s, in his current state, a complete and utter liability in our own half of the pitch?

Whoever is the female commentator on my feed - is just so annoying. Sorry. It had to be said.
She’s so bad it’s driving me mad.

When they hit the crossbar… if it had been half a yard lower it would have gone right in the top corner according to her 😂
