Missed the gaffer big time here. Very passive second half.

 

I don't think Howe being at the ground makes a jot of difference here.

[Aiston]

The fucks the point in Wilson man

 

[HayDen Traces]

We look so off the pace. Got to accept we need to learn how to rotate

Great subs. Tell me you are giving up on the game without telling me you are giving up

[Billy Warthog]

Wilson on, gonna win 5-4 now.

We're being totally outclassed and so many obvious old issues are rearing their heads.

 

The opposition have wound up Bruno and he's playing into it. Just not focused on the game and more getting one over whoever he is directly up against.

Isak is just awful in possession and offers next to nothing in the middle third of the pitch. Playing drunk? 

The Schar and Burn partnership is far too slow to play against a team who counter attack with serious pace.

Murphy has been put back in his box by a defender who has pressed him. Murphy can never hack players with physicality who get in his face.

We've taken Barnes off the left wing again to give the space to Gordon, thus nulifying our best attacking outlet of the past few weeks.

To be fair, the Ref didnt help, he bought every dive.

[Big Geordie]

Really poor 2nd half. Midfield just over-ran.

 

Game over.

There's nothing to rotate

[Memphis]

Get all this poison out in one game and let’s finish strongly. 

[JigsawGoesToPieces]

Fuck we making a treble change when 4-1 down for.

 

Whats it going to achieve

[JT24]

Needed these subs 10 minutes ago like, JT.

[Mazzy]

GD taking a hit. That's not what we need.

Suppose that run had to end eventually.

 

A little frustrating we didn't change it at 1-1 cos you could feel their goal coming.

 

Hard to be annoyed though, we've had a cracking run

won't stop about six annoying posters on here though.

[duo]

Not sure how Joelinton is still on - been awful today

[JUICE690]

Feels a little like our game against City this. Just them them play their game.

[El Prontonise]

Here comes 5 touches a match Callum Wilson. They need to fuck off with giving him these cameos.

[Joelinton7]

Refs fucked us in this game so cheers for that 

[Curtained Wasp]

Playing same team over and over again is going to fail eventually. 

[HayDen Traces]

Maatsen been top class for them

[Wilson]

My god. 

 

Beyond awful today but can't take anything away from these horrible bastards.  Pains me to say it but all credit to them, they've not allowed us to play and ruined us. 

[Beren]

Well deserved. Fair play to Villa, they've been much better than Newcastle today. Manner of the defeat probably worse than the defeat itself.

 

Very naive and indisciplined performance from quite a few of the older and wiser heads, but not that big a deal if they screw their heads on straight for the next game.

FFS, what an atrocious performance just when we didn't need one.

Similar to Bournemouth at home. Lack of depth after a midweek game has resulted in a sloppy, tired and shite performance. Been a hard watch.

Been like that other game we got battered of these the other year. Midfield outfought and outmuscled and defence absolutely woeful. 

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.

Howay man, we've won 4 of the last 5 against them. They're a good side and this can happen unfortunately.
