Embarrassing

get your slow as fuck defenders to go and press high up when they’re not quick enough to

one of the main problems today imo is that we haven’t done this. Schar has stood 10 yards off Watkins every time

 

That huge gap in midfield has come back big time.

Should have made changes earlier. The midfield has been absolutely annihilated all game.

Sometimes it good to realise you can’t just roll up to games and win. Onto the next one. The players have this one in the bank tbf

[Numbers]

Fucking hell, end is nigh, we're suddenly shite.

 

We will be good just one of those days, lots of disruption because the managers been missing a good while. Just a blip.

This match showed why though schar and burn are good players, we need to upgrade on them. 

 

Watkins dismantled them.

Straight back to earth.

 

I think we pay the price for the same starting lineup 7 games in a row today.
 

Tactically outclassed .

Yeah, the lack of rotation is probably the biggest weakness this management team have.

Apart from Gordon, it pretty much is a massive step down. We really don't have much of a squad worth rotating atm. That'll likely change this summer.

 

Pointless running players into the ground as the other option, we know that doesn't work.

[thomas]

maybe they threw this game so eddie could watch this and still feel needed after the last two wins.

[nemtizz]

We got battered even worse in 22/23 and still went on to qualify for CL with ease, but today has been awful.

[El Prontonise]

Villa are a very good team, disappointing yes but we've been in good form and it was going to end at some point.

 

Hopefully will refocus minds.

Could have gone for loans like others but didn’t.

 

Aye, but maybe we couldn't find the right deals at the right price.

Worst performance of the season this. Absolutely miles off every position on the pitch. Couldn't even do the basics well today. Just always worse when it's against these scumbags.

Exactly the bedwetters after this result ffs 😂

[Ginola]

Second best from start to finish. Regroup and get 3 points vs Ipswich

[black_n_white]

Watkins, teilemans and the left back have been superb for them

[GEFAFWISP]

Everyone is playing shite, that's most likely a tactical thing...hopefully Eddie is fit for next week. Too much Tindall.

So frustrating as it's happened 4-5 games this season, punished big time 2-3 times.

[toon25]

What the fuck is the point in Wilson 

[Chris L]

Rashford will likely score 

[Tsunami]

Battered, exposed, isolated, out fought. 

[TheInfiniteOdyssey]

They have so many more quality options than us off the bench. 

[nufc4eva]

Feeling we are both basically the same team, can press and smash teams. Had our fair share of results against villa. At least we have Ipswich next Sat and they play man city this week so hopefully have some sort of gap over one of them again

[KingArthur]

We just haven't dealt with movement from their attackers at all. Off game. 

 

Still UCL-place up for grabs, no worries.

Who the fuck boo's Matt Targett?
