Gallowgate Toon Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I'm not sure fatigue was the problem today. Felt like we lost tactical battles - we're quite predictable to plan for when you've got a deep squad. No Howe exacerbates that problem massively when it comes to in-game adjustments imo.

AngelofTheFourth Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 One thing that annoyed me was the stupid claims that villa would be "mentally tired" from the PSG game. It wasn't mainly our fans saying it but a lot of other fans too. It never made sense. I'm not worried as a win wasn't a necessity for us. January saved their season. I hope we can learn from them going into UCL next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUICE690 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Have to take your hats off to Villa really. 8 goals against two very good teams. Bit annoying though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpatz9 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 We’ve been in and out of form two/three times this season. This was in the post. We’re quite often brilliant but just as often mediocre. Villa have been able to rotate due to their better squad/recruitment/more money & 3 games in 6 days was always going to kill us. Onana and Ramsay came on and scored; our only decent bench option came on and huffed and puffed a bit. No need to be too down, these at Man City on Tuesday hopefully they’ll cancel each other out and we tear Ipswich a new one Saturday… PS not sure if you’ve heard Toontastic is down so you’ll possibly have to put up with an influx of us twats for a while 😊🤝 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually said no one annoyed me more today, in the match thread I wasn't the only one who said it either. Where is this idea coming from that you think no one pulls him up on poor performances? I don't care who it is, if they had a stinker, they had a stinker. Simple! Fair play from you. However LOADS on here will not say a word against him. That alone infuriates me more than his crap performances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) You've just liked my post in the Bruno thread so presumably you've read the countless posts in there saying he had a bad one. No idea why you're going all 'telling it like it is. Fact' over something plenty are literally already saying. Edited April 19 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpatz9 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) Bruno dived in to stop Tielemans turning got booked and they scored their second from the free kick, pretty much game over after that. Tielemans made a three course dinner out of it but we’d been doing that all over the shop too… Edited April 19 by rpatz9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelofTheFourth Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I'm so annoyed that their stupid fans were proven right this match. about their midfield. If there was a time for them to have a an off day it wasn't today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis H Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 The players will have been fit enough to play since we have someone looking after that and he’s done a really good job so far. Players have definitely been rotated when needed this season and there’s no reason to think Tindall isn’t getting the same information Howe normally gets. What’s more likely is we just got hammered by a very good team who played very well. It’s a shame but one game changes nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavMcEl Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Terrible and completely deserved everything we got.... as someone said very good to get a reality check after what has been an amazing few weeks.... Still in an unbelievable position with 5 games to go.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 2 minutes ago, joeyt said: When in the last 3 games should we have rotated? Who would you have played instead of who? I don't know Joey, like I say these questions are pointless gotcha attempts. With back to back games in a week playing the same squad is obviously going to lead to fatigue. In hindsight I'd have started Gordon, Miley and Krafth today, but my point isn't to say he got any single game wrong, it's that we have the squad to rotate better than we have done this week. 2 minutes ago, joeyt said: I thought we looked tired in the second half but I'm struggling to think of how we could have done much more in the last few games. They're all must win games, we can't just drop our poor subs like Longstaff into games like this one or Palace or Man Utd Villa were just firing straight balls down the pitch which we couldn't get near all first half, we looked miles off it all game imo.

jackyboy Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I don't Bruno is anywhere near as good as he was when he first came into the side. Maybe the captaincy is weighing him down. He spends far too much time trying to illicit fouls , gives away needless free kicks and complains to the ref none stop. Having said all this I don't know the answer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That alone infuriates me more than his crap performances. Can't say I've noticed that as much. Seen quite a few posts saying he hasn't been playing that great. He plays so many minutes that I can deal with a downturn in form and sub par performances. It's the other nonsense that tends to then throw his focus off even more during games that he really needs to sort out. It just compounds things moreso!

He plays so many minutes that I can deal with a downturn in form and sub par performances. It's the other nonsense that tends to then throw his focus off even more during games that he really needs to sort out. It just compounds things moreso! This is just my opinion but I think his good/great performances have been very few this season. He has had more poor games than good. When Bruno is on his game then he is fantastic. When not on his game then he is really poor. I think he plays one game good followed by four average to poor games. I do know that I am in a minority on here but it's my truthful evaluation of the Bruno footballer. I am not on the wind up, honest. He's not the "class" player that some think in my opinion.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Sad but very predictable to see some of the opinions after this match like. These lads are all incredible and are about to deliver the best season in any of our lives, one of the best in the history of the club. I hope when we're sitting here with a trophy in the cabinet and Champions League football to look forward to, some people will get a fucking grip.
