***Villa v Champions Official Match Thread***

I suppose we have no right to criticise how another team plays but what is Postecoglu doing playing so open against Liverpool? This could get really embarrassing.

Yes but that is exactly the point . Spuds play us , pack their area and rely on counter attack. Scouse play us, exactly the same,

If you saw the Spuds scouse game today, countless times Salad was able to take his time , in the first half and he still blew every shot. Spuds so open , three players forward all the time.

Rags vs Bournemouth , Bou play open footy , a normal back four. Against us it's all men back in the box, hoping to nullify the threat. It has worked quite well so far this season.

Mostly that is because how you need to play against us. Park the bus, wait for us to fuck one of the 9123 passes from side to side in a half and quick counter.

100% correct. We are the only fools who take a team back to their 30 yard area and pass sideways until one of ours, usually Lewis or Gundogan, lose concentration and possession and have a 4 on 2 at pace, which we don't have, breaking on us. Other teams when faced with a park the bus approach keep the centre half's about 40 yards out at most and have pace in defence to counter the counter.

Yep. And we don't shoot. We still are mad after passing it into the net. We see it, imagine managers who are paid to do that.
It's sad.

I'm glad Grealish had a go back at the Villa fans who were having a go at him non stop throughout the game.
They got megabucks for him and they treat him like that. Compare with the fantastic reception we gave SWP when he came back with Chelsea, similar circumstances.. We were skint and got a great deal.

They’re horrible cunts. They destroyed Gareth Barry’s confidence as well, printing money off to wave at the game. Sad twats.

One sure sign that the team have lost it is that right at the end of the game as we were chasing we won a corner and instead of taking a quick short corner we delayed it until everyone was in position and then played it short anyway costing us about 30 seconds of the 90 that were left. I was screaming at the tv. It’s amazing how decision making goes out of the window when your confidence is shot.

But what if that they are told to do? To take it that way? And taking it differently means taking on Pep?
Because if that is not the case, then we have a problem that players paid with millions are not capable to understand the game in key moments.
