Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Bournemouth

[The_Steve]

No excuses for switching off like that at the end. Too many poor finishes today. 

We looked great for large parts of the second half but you can't switch off at this level. Just had to see it out for a few more seconds.

Still mad about the VAR call with the crap technology. Not enough to overturn it.

Decent first half, apart from the last pass. Terrible 2nd, with a really pathetic last part. Can’t see us getting top 4 this season after giving away points vs Ipswich and Bournemouth, now the tough fixtures are coming up

Good job it wasn’t a pen against Bailey 

[StefanAVFC]

Such a waste. Give away stupid free kick after stupid free kick in dangerous areas and that’s exactly what you get. 

[Villa87]

We deserved that to be honest. Piss poor after scoring. We had no composure whatsoever after 30 minutes. Unai will be fuming. 4 points dropped against Ipswich and now Bournemouth. Sickener that.

We were **** dreadful after scoring 

Very unlike us to end a game that badly 

We were the exact same against Fulham in fairness and they had 10 men. We couldn’t get a kick of the ball in the last 10 minutes. Same today. 

[KAZZAM]

Dogshit defending. 

I mean he's totally free. 

Don't like this holding on to a slender lead tactic we seem to revert too lately. 

[sharkyvilla]

Giving away loads of stupid free kicks when you're protecting a lead isn't a great idea.

[osmark86]

Shit happens

[Keyblade]

That was the toughest league game of the season imo. Bournemouth are really good. Onana should not be starting these games. The sooner Kamara gets up to speed the better

[switters]

Deeply irritating to drop 2 points there. Just got unusually sloppy at the end when we just needed to keep the ball.

Decent performance overall. Konsa and Ramsey the standouts. 

[Vancvillan]

Everyone in this thread has been booked.

[wishywashy]

Stupid fouls all game and it stepped up a notch after we scored. Absolutely unnecessary to give away that free kick and to leave their striker completely unmarked was just daft.

[Awol]

What on earth were we doing for those last 15 minutes? Hoofing the ball to give them possession and come straight back at us. Never seen us play like that under Emery. What a waste of 2 points.  

[Aston_Villan4]

Just as I was writing that we need to be better about retaining possession to close our games. Such a sloppy, careless way to give away points. That’s me agitated for the day, lol.
 

At least Brighton dropped 2 points at the last second too.

Seriously worrying lack of composure for those last 15-20 mins. 

We didn't try to keep possession. What was with the constant long balls? 

[TheMightyVillans]

We gave away way too many fouls

[foreveryoung]

Bet Emery is Fuuuuuming at that! 

Brighton drawing too. You watch Arsenal lose tomorrow.

[lapal_fan]

We keep slowing down momentum and tempo when at home against worse teams.

Fair play to Bournemouth, they stuck at it and kept going until the last second.

Our attitude stinks against some teams honestly, just think we'll turn up and win.

Duran can moan about the goal, but he should have been way tighter to the man.

[The_Rev]

We deserved to drop those points. We spent the final ten minutes practically begging for them to score.
