Villa away (Post match) 2-1 loss

[coolhandfox]

Same issue we have played good enough, like we did against Man City but individuals errors again.

 

We don't have one decent fullback or winger and the best we have upfront is a 38 year old who can't run.

 

 

[ARM1968]

Just obvious and inevitable. Ruud is likely a better motivator and man manager than Cooper, but they both have utter dross to work with. Barring an absolute miracle this is only going one way folks. 

[Muzzy_no7]

Villa didn’t get out of 1st gear and deliberately slowed that down at times to preserve their own levels knowing just how bad we are. 
 

 

[fleshdaddy]

Put a fork in us, we're done. We're just not good enough.

 

I did think potentially if we can get 3 or 4 players in this month, that might give us a fighting chance, but I don't even think that anymore (and I'm sure we'll just be scratching around at the end of this month and end up with more tut).

We're cooked. 

[Leicesterpool]

Another defeat and no surprise, 1-2 defeat to Villa at VP wouldn't sound like the worse thing. But still second from bottom with nothing.

[Ricey]

Can’t stop the rot.

[LCFCJoe96]

Marching toward the inevitable

[Kasey Keller]

Defo not 3 worse teams than that shower 

[The Guvnor]

Shouldn’t pick out individuals cause as a squad we just don’t have enough PL quality.

Just a very remote chance the transfer window is kind to us and we manage to stop the rot!

[PhillippaT]

I think I was right the first time: we be cwap.

 

Most of our players aren't really good enough.  The question is, can and will we do anything in this window to change that?  If not, we're going DOWN...

[ronnup]

Yep. We are awful. And there isnt a chance in hell we stay up

[RowlattsFox]

Can talk about tactics etc but fact is this squad as it stands is not good enough to stay up. 

 

Apart from Mads when he plays, i don't think any player we have starts for a team outside of the relegation zone. Couple of squad players maybe but not regular first choice starters. 

 

Defence isn't good to hold out for 90 mins and its put under more pressure by the woefulness in front of it, unable to keep up the ball up the pitch. 

 

One tap in doesn't change the fact Mavididi can't beat a man at this level, Vardy is still great in around the box but in general play makes it difficult for us to keep the ball. Ayew had one of his better games today but isn't good enough.

Can’t remember the last time we looked remotely like scoring 

Errr…

[OwnGoal]

Thrown a point away. Staying up you can’t afford brain farts that cost you games. We ain’t very good and was going to grind out a great point.  Then Justin forgets he’s now a bag of shit and refuses to find row Z.

Done well until Justin cocked it up, not much quality going forward though and if we can't take our chances or create any then we are done.

With a bit of help from ayew

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

All the teams at the bottom are poor. Still chance to get some better replacements in in key positions and just be more responsive in games. We are not adrift by a long chalk. 

[Kinowe Soorie]

Rodgers signings still stinking the place out.

[Bert]

Well we scored today….

 

Another game where an individual error has cost us. I wonder how many goals Justin is culpable for this season? What on earth was he thinking? Got back into the game and farts about with the ball at the back. It’s one of the basics. Just clear your lines. 
 

Played some nice football at times but I feel it’s another massive opportunity missed. There were points available from that. Villa weren’t all that I didn’t think. Profited from two poor decisions from our players. Plus the standard ever obliging allowed Leon Bailey his first goal since April. 
 

We need reinforcements and we need them quick. Buonanotte needs more game time. Subs need to be made earlier than the 80th minute. You can’t expect to sit and defend (albeit fairly well) for a game when our defence is this bad and not expect to concede. On paper our last three games have probably been the toughest set of games in the league but that just makes it even more disappointing that we could’ve quite easily got a result from the last two games.

So they left it tight for so long just for shits and giggles?   

[FrankieADZ]

at this point i honestly cant be arsed, its the same mistakes every week, and it seems to be the same player

 

like whats the point

[when_you're_smiling]

What’s the connection between West Ham, Everton, Bournemouth, Spurs and Ipswich? 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They’re the only teams we’ve played in the league this season and didn’t concede at least two goals. We got 9 points out of 15.

 

Other 15 games - 6 points.

 

It’s not difficult to work out the issue.

 

 

[Vacamion]

 

An almost creditable performance at a place hardly anyone gets any points.

 

Luke Thomas and Jordan Ayew did ok considering the prophesies of doom, pre-match.

 

For all the slagging Vardy got in the match thread, he contributed brilliantly to our goal.

 

JJ should have booted it away instead of farting about to concede the second.  He probably needs to be taken out of the firing line.  I fear he might get the Ward-esque booing at the next home game.

 

Still, a small consolation is that it wasn't utterly abject and we were still in the match til the end.

 

 

[JonesLCFC]

This squad makes you sick. We are nailed on certs for relegation. Any other season bar this and last we’d be about 9 points adrift bottom of the table. I can’t watch some of these players anymore, it's bad for the health. 

[Ted Maul]

We weren't bad today (at all). Draw would have been fair, Mavididi missed an absolute sitter at 0-0.

 

But if you're going to play a complete liability at full back, directly responsible for ar least 5 goals this season, plus countless other goals/chances indirectly through being out of position, then you are not going to win games at this level. You're just not.
