Aston Villa post match thread 2-1

[smr]

At least we're in the top 4 and have have a great chance of progressing to the last 8 of the FA Cup.

[reynard]

Well. I have to say I'm not surprised at all. We've been poor for weeks now. All the big games this season with the exception of Arsenal at home (Spurs we got lucky) we have basically failed to turn up.

There was a saying once you don't win anything with kids and though not entirely correct there is some truth in that.

The season can go two ways now.

1 We react from this and become a stronger unit with more determination to not let this happen again.

2 The season falls apart completely.

 

This was the biggest game of the season so far and we blew it.

How ever you dress tonight's result up, Saturday is a really big one now.

 

So we'll lose it won't we....

[Dahnsouff]

We were ok, no more, no,less. They were not better. Their negative plan worked.

 

The End.

 

On to the big questions. Why the f**k did I not buy any whisky when I went shopping.

Yep. Me and my boys were screaming at the telly for him to close down. He has zero game awareness. 

Let’s face it, he’s as thick as two short planks. Deaf too judging by how many were screaming at him to stop the cross.

[Col city fan]

Was Albrighton on the bench?

I’ve been very supportive of Brenda but the decision to bring Gray on before Albrighton is bizarre in the least.

We need to sell Gray, he’s pants

[Ric Flair]

Bar the opening 10 mins where we absolutely battered them, that game was even and we were so naive at the end. 

 

Gutted. We are nowhere near as stable at managing games at the minute and I just hope that 14 point gap is enough as the dreaded collapse would be hard for any of this lot to recover from.

 

Onwards and upwards. Ndidi and Vardy badly need to regain their form, both look ghosts out there at the minute.

[Monsell1976]

We had plenty of the ball, but did nothing with it, or we was massively wasteful.

 From the start villa looked like they would win it, gutted we lost villa deserved it.

They made us look completely average so not sure how you can say this 

What? No way they can be as lucky as they were tonight in the final.

Mike Dean should never ref at this level again. 

No he shouldn’t. And it’s far from the first time this has been said. He’s woeful. 

[bishbosh]

The best team lost!! Villa lose in the final and get relegated....that'll do me.

Gutted tho 😥

Ha, good old leicester 

obvious opposition supporter lol, fair play you've kept it up this long!

[kingfox]

Poor defending in the box for their second but I hate when players don't close crosses down, it fvcking annoys me so much, what Gray did was criminal.

[EastAnglianFox]

Beat Chelsea at the weekend and this will soon be forgotten, its going to hurt but lets remember finish top 4 and its been a fvcking brilliant season

[Mike Oxlong]

At least I won’t have to listen to the draw for the next round 

[blueharmie]

They only had two ****ing shots on target.

Could not put villa away over two legs that Is an absolute joke.

 

[Nick]

Out before the ban.

Villa will be humiliated in the final and then relegated. Good - I'll be glad to see the back of them - horrible, horrible team.  We can still get to Wembley twice.  We did not play THAT badly. Sometimes football is like that, luck is a factor - thank goodness it is, otherwise England would never have won the World Cup.

We played very badly. No bottle or grit in this team. We were out battled.

 

And to think some people on here were saying this team are better than our title legends😃

 

Embarrassing

I thought we played well tonight and were very unlucky in some respects.  To a man there isn’t really anyone i’d point to and say had a bad game.  Apart from Gray.

 

Hate to say it, but to just stand there watching for a golden fvcking age, whilst Elmo lined up his cross and then stuck it in is absolutely criminal.

 

He’s had the benefit of the doubt too many times.

 

****ing sell him.

[AjcW]

They deserved it over the two legs. Can’t say much more than that really! Hope their keeper gets to play in the final and they don’t just bring Reina in! 

[tetly]

Upgrade the wingers or ppl at a system without them ours just aren’t good enough.

[Realjimbo]

Can't take this "unlucky, unfortunate, we were the better team" sh*t, we weren't, we lost!

Some men rise up when it counts others crumble, too many of the last flavour in our side.

probably more natural talent than the 2015's, but much much less winning mentality when it counts.

More bottlers than a coke factory.

 

Anyone fancy us against Chelsea now?

 

 

[Manini]

We’ve had so many euphoric days and nights over the last 7 or so years - but that hurts that one.

Yep I was also screaming at Gray to close him down, but he backed off, and then when it was too late went forward. Ridiculous. 

Was pointless bringing him on, if Barnes stays on we prob end up at penos
