Farlz Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Bloody hell Villa. We’re really going to lose the opening 5 at this rate, what a way to completely demolish a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Constantly sitting back inviting pressure they do it again all the supposed big teams and blow it every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Keeper should save that. Looks they've watched Aston Villa men circa 2010-2022 as their 2nd half template of "how to manage the 2nd half at 1-0 up" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's always given as a free kick. But if she had have given it, Arsenal wouldn't have scored 2 in a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 we had so little possession this second half, you can't defend for long spells especially when the referee is intent on never giving us any free kicks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan95 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I think we really need to consider our tactics, we have enough quality to have more of a go with the likes of Daly, Salmon, Leon, Hanson, Dali (when they're back). When we go forward we can score goals against anyone but we're just too negative v the 'big' teams, especially when we get our noses in front. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I think the manager will have to go soon. Never really thought Carla Ward was good enough if we want to move on, I mean she's more of a Dean Smith than a Emery, an that's being fair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Really should’ve been looking to get at least a point from this considering we were 1 up in the 90th minute. Just not a good start to this season at all. 2 more games to struggle through before we can reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still a big stretch to see this side being consistent enough to finish ahead any of the Manchester clubs or Chelsea or Arsenal so I'd be more than happy being best of the rest again and then look next summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villanbee Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Not good enough. Two injury time losses in three games. Sitting back all game. Giving them far too much respect. My life, we played as if we were privileged to be on the pitch with them. We defended resolutely but you cannot let a team like Arsenal come at you all game. What on earth were we thinking? Get hold of the game. A few months ago, we went to Arsenal and beat them two nill. I'm really cross. We're better than that. Tactically, we've been found wanting again. Must do better and quickly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing scared playing against reputations rather than making the opposition worry about out attacking potential. Need a manager who isn't scared of the opposition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan95 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 It's all well and good saying we've had a difficult start and they're 'free hits' but we're actually 6 points worse off than last season from the same fixtures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 We absolutely must get something against Spurs next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villanbee Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I'm baffled. We have a team full of international standard players and approached that game like a lower level team trying to grab a result in a cup game against top level opposition. Like Zrinjski did against the men a few weeks ago at Villa Park. What has gone on? We're a shadow of the team that finished last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 People already writing off the next two. Apparently Spurs is one of them. They've had a good start but surely it's not that much doom and gloom that's an automatic defeat. I assume we're at home aswell given we've just played twice away.

City game we were down to 10 men and took the lead so in that situation you simply have little option but to defend. Shame we couldn't hold out, it happens. Was staggered though today by us just deciding to defend 1-0 all second half. We had good attackers on the bench who weren't put on until 97th minute. Surely at least one of them could've come on around 80th minute just to give a counter attack option and fresh legs. That's where I'm disappointed in Carla Ward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a game we absolutely should be looking to win but we’ve just lost 3 in a row so it’s not ideal. I’d just take a point to get something on the table. I’ve written the Chelsea game off. They’ll probably batter us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
