Villa 3-1 Fulham Sunday 28/09

I'm in the minority, but I hope Marco doesn't renew his contract and leaves at the end of the season. I think we need some fresh ideas.

Careful what you wish for.

We were winning and comfortable till we lost raul, had we had Muniz on the bench it might be a different story .

Our CMs have been Dogsh*** today

Well he could've put a proper CF on the bench which would've meant we could keep the same tactics, but he put a winger up front who's done barely anything and given Villa a goal

[Jules]

As usual, a sniff of a chance to get into the top 5 and we blow it.

We are nowhere near top 5 quality though. Know what you are saying but  mid table is about where we are.

[TC's Sporran]

Why the F is Lukic still on the pitch

2 positions now we needed TC shooting instead of him

Can't see TC ever getting that close to goal these days.

can't see him getting on the pitch nowadays apart from 2mins at the end every third game.

Ha ha. Potter is available

im hoping Villa have ashit season and take Emery

[jayffc]

This has been dire. No idea why we haven't freshened up at CM

Other than not having a sub striker ....This is where the game was lost for me

No TC and taking off king rather than Lukic or berge was madness

Can't see TC ever getting that close to goal these days.

He's scored more than Lukic has from the same position and in a fraction of the minutes.

[Milo]

Thank god for strong liquor 

[Milo]

Chukwueze giving it a go. Straw clutching time now.

[St Eve]

Ona positive note our 2 new wingers look good

[bencher]

The subs have done basically nothing, which is concerning. Kevin isn't looking like the next superstar right now, Chuk looks pretty rusty, and ESR lacklustre

[Caedal]

I don't understand why we're played the entire game like we've had 10 men. Villa have been absolutely awful all season, and they had to play on Thursday night.

All our players look miles off the place

[Fulham 1879]

John McGinn is everything Berge isn't. Combative, creative, box to box, good tackler, involved, influential.

[Milo]

Can't watch these awful set pieces now.

When?

[Milo]

I think ESR is the biggest culprit. He's £34m.. been here a year.. hasn't had a single good game. Passes backwards or sideways... waste of space.

We were by far better team first thalf , should have been 3 up

Lose Raul with muniz injured. One of those days but Silva gotta look at himself today. Didn't identify how poor CMs were  playing. Bassey had an absolute stinker too.

Shocking stuff second half

[bencher]

John McGinn is everything Berge isn't. Combative, creative, box to box, good tackler, involved, influential.

Berge is just so sterile and made several poor errors today. He doesn't even move around enough to offer passing lanes for playing out, hence their 2 goals this half.

[Coastwalker]

Marco out.🙂

[Bal_13]

John McGinn is everything Berge isn't. Combative, creative, box to box, good tackler, involved, influential.

CM is where we most need to improve I think.

Having both Berge and Lukic as functional midfielders makes us so lacking creatively from that part of the pitch.

[FFC007]

Well that was 💩.

Smith Rowe was non existent.. Smith and Jones would have been better!

Andersen poor once again, Bassey off the boil and Kevin wasn't impactful at all.
