Villa vulvas H Sat 18th Jan KO 1730

[Linighans there!!]

Unfortunately we will NEVER EVER win the league again in most of our lifetimes...there are just too many vastly superior teams

The club is rotten to the core, from top to bottom. The Kronkes not wanting trophies or spending proper money

A worthless intern hire of a 'head coach' who has clearly lost the dressing room and the proper fan base

Players who are so soft and have no skill or drive

And worst of all, customers in the stadium who have no passion for the game

Are you on drugs?!

I wonder what the collective wages are that Zinchenko, White, Tomiyasu and Calafiori are taking out of this club

Loaded with defenders who are either shite or permanently injured (or both)

Meanwhile at the other end of the field we've sold Nketiah and Smith Rowe, loaned out Nelson and Vieira and brought in Sterling on loan

Honestly it's an embarrassment

To have nothing to bring off the bench to try and grab a goal is criminal.

Also our ability to concede goals from minimal opposition chances every single fucking game is mind boggling.

Think it's not that mind boggling sadly rodders

We just ain't that good

I’d still like to see the goals per chance ratio of opposition teams though - it must be fucking frightening. 2 goals from 4 on target for Villa tonight and that’s been replicated across the whole season. Madness

If you look carefully you can even see it hit his arm in the camera angle behind Merino.

[Midz]

Can anyone with even a rudimentary knowledge of physics tell me how that ball hits the underside of the arm and gets deflected UPWARDS?

I honestly thought it was his ribs,I thought he twisted just enough to miss the arm,ref couldn’t wait to overturn it though could he

Watch the camera from behind the goals. It deffo hits his right arm. To me though it's accidental and a disgrace the rule is what it is.

Havertz did nothing to influence that ball, he was trying to get out of the way tbf. The decision sucks ass big time.

[the playing mantis]

They spent loads of money. There are not many superior teams and certainly not vastly.

There couple just better. We are not miles away but just like with AW for so long 2 or 3 first teamers would elevate us
The manager is the main issue now

I wonder what the collective wages are that Zinchenko, White, Kiwior, Tomiyasu and Calafiori are taking out of this club

I'm not advocating for kiwor here, BUT he should be sending in his transfer request TONIGHT - a centre back is injured and the cone boy plays a full back in the centre back position ahead of him, AND plays a centre midfielder ahead of him and tierney at left full. No doubt lewis skelly was one of our best players AGAIN tonight, but the reality is that moving timber into the centre pushed partey to right back and that was an accident waiting to happen. Like has been said by me (and others) a million times already, the cone boy has 14 or 15 players that he trusts and will play them out of position ahead of one of the other fools on the bench - his squad management has been a disgrace for a long time now, and I think a lot of shit will come out about him down the line

[cameron326]

All said and done it was about the most predictable come back you can have really.

True but it's same root cause ain't that good

[madjens]

Absolutely no chance arteta is going anywhere when you look at where we are in the table especially compared to the other big sides. Just frustrating that we’re a few players away from the title.

[the playing mantis]

Watkins said it was harsh. I just dunno. If it didn't hit his arm it wouldn't have gone in. Arm was sticking out slightly. Had it been flush against his chest/side then should have stood.

[augie]

I still say that Tielemens would have been a brilliant signing last summer (especially on a free) but he is neither defensive enough, nor does he pass sidewards and backwards enough for this clown

Yep. But the rule is you cannot score with your arm or hand so any touch rules out the goal. Sucks ass indeed.

Yep but the fear is we will remain so as we did multiple times during wengers time.

And the managers decisions and tactics are massive concern now
