[Albion] Aston Villa vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Washie]

Why are we so easy to score against? We huff and puff for every goal we get, yet our opponents just seem to stroll through.

Because our attacking play leaves us extremely exposed. This was brought up that De zerbi's teams score lots of goals, but are pathetic at defending.

 

[Littlemo]

Everyone is just fouling away, on both sides.

 

[raymondo]

Cant believe they looked at that and decided no foul.

Apparently because we had enough time to reset our defence (even if it was a missed foul)

 

[Bodian]

We look static when they're attacking - ball-watching.

At least we won't lose anything on the @Giraffe tracker.....

 

[Wardy's twin]

2nd goal dubious as defender has to be interferring with play (line of vision) , 3rd goal foul on march as clear as anything. Does excuse how bad we are but not helped by poor decisions.

 

[US Seagull]

I just hope when we win this 3-4 it doesn't gloss over how bad the opening half an hour had been.

 

[Acker79]

Imagine how bad it would be if Villa didn't have their wet shirts.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

I'm picking out De Zerbi's f***ing decisions today and used that as a f***ing example

Oh please, back track why don't ya....

We all know RDZ style of football is high risk and reward, Everton last season, these results will happen.
Are we scrambling around the foot of the table looking for points, Nah we are not.

I get it you are passionate and upset at being 3-0 down in under 30 minutes, but come on, we are on the ride of our lives.

You have suck these kinda games up, and unfortunately we will have more of these as we complete on more fronts.

Calm down, have a beer or glass or wine, whisky whatever, and re watch the rise of the albion on youtube or something, that is what I do.
Soon brings a smile back to my face, hope you enjoy the rest of the afternoon, somehow.

 

[GrizzlingGammon]

Get March , Webster Hinshelwood and Welbeck off!

Why?

 

[bennibenj]

I agree, it's not Hinshelwood's fault... we need 3 in the middle here, it's too easy for them...

I absolutely despise Villa... like, absolutely hate them

We've said this on more than a few occasions. We can't keep tinkering SO often.

The issue is all the games. West Ham suffered in the same way last season.
We don't have the squad depth for 3 cups and the league and are having to field players that aren't yet premier ready.
We will have to get used to it unfortunately.
Lallana as good as he is, isnt an option as can't shake the injuries, so already a player in minefield down.
I won't correct the word minefield as that's what it feels like right now.

 

[birthofanorange]

They look so much more up for it than we do.
At 2 - 0 I felt we still had a chance....but no longer.
I sense zero points from nine, from this and the next two games.
Such a shame, after a brilliant start.

Don't spend too much time worrying about that...

 

[Bodian]

Imagine how bad it would be if Villa didn't have their wet shirts.

They don't get wet and heavy till they've sweated a bit. They haven't had to run around too much yet!

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

We've had chances and missed (looking at you Solly). They haven't missed.

 

[Ike and Tina Burner]

We'll get back in this. I have no doubt

 

[gripper stebson]

Maybe, just maybe teams have sussed out De Zerbi ball!

Oh, and we really miss Mac and Moises in there.

Huff and puff? You do know until today we're top goalscorers in the league, right?

Agree we're very easy to score against so far this season though

Pervis having a stinker

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Luis was already jumping over. Pervis mugged.
