Nice try.

We've not even let them play their game. We've played right into their hands. Properly naive performance to be frank.

Clear pen for Wilock there for me. Konsa all over him.

Of course it does. Loans are not free and as you are well are it's very much an ffp game for us and villa as our ambition is larger than our budget. If villa don't get champions league then this borrowed squad depth will be a failed gamble. And I agree with you we've done incredibly well to be where we are if anything my mild disappointment is with our owners and board because they are slow

As I said rashford is borrowed Asencio is borrowed diasi is borrowed. Yes the players they have borrowed have boosted the squad but this was purely done because our owners gave them a bag for Duran. And all of these players are on massive wages I might add. Sure this result sucks and in the short term they have an edge but they will have to aggressively trade to maintain it and our players have had a day off today our best players are better than villas.

Nope a game which highlights home advantage an extra days rest and a Saudi bailout. Don't over react the squad they have is borrowed and nothing special and extremely expensive. The way they deal with ffp is short term gambles we are more pragmatic about things.

Nah we've fucked ourselves and got what we deserved.

We are giving them the transitional game they want without offering anything in transition ourselves. Laughable really. When we are bad boy we are bad.

Schar.

Rancid. Can't believe we haven't subbed trippier whos had a horror show today.

They are quick to drop deep and defend in a block. The whole thing they do is bait the press. We've been naive today. Tactically speaking.

The diving cunt is offf.

We know the risks but we've also benefitted from this style of play more than it's hurt us. Days like today will happen our defenders are just too slow and lacking in physicality.

They are playing at home with an extra days rest. The league shows we are the better side. Can't wait until we can spend some money again.

It's such a risk asking slow lumbering players to get right when your cover is also slow and lumbering. It's a high risk strategy and we've published for it.

Again why did they get an extra days rest? Ridiculous scheduling.

Stop pressing them FFS. They have nothing against a low block.

What a stupid goal to concede

Not to blame pope for the goal we conceded but when your facing goal like Sandro was the play should always be to go back

He's the worst until we get some athleticism in the backline. How we've got so high in the table when we struggle to play out from the back and are massively suspect to channel runs is beyond me. Just speaks to how much or a genius Eddie is I guess. The positive is our ceiling is very high as we have a few obvious weaknesses.

Villas set up is interesting, it's all around baiting you to press them. And you really want to press Konsa and Cash. We need to be more disciplined and funnel them to our left flank and press them on that side.

Sandro lost his foot and made zero appeals.

Mental refeering this.

Yellow for diving please.

Foul on Barnes not given.
