Agreed, every professional, well paid footballer should know that you need to keep possession to prevent the opposition from scoring. Collective brain fart from the Villa team it seems......where were the leaders on the pitch??

It happens but 6 points dropped, Brounemouth, Ipswich and man yoo. 

It would have felt better to have drawn 0-0 or been stuffed 0-3.

It's only a game!.......ggrrrrrrrr 

It most certainly wouldn’t have been better to have been “stuffed 0-3” you are being silly now.

yeah, true.

They would see that as dropped points though, same as us, and those points matter at the end of the season, is all im saying.

We had a very good start to the season, 4 wins, 1 loss (12 points - 2.4 PPG), the last 4 games have been 1 win, 3 draws (6 points - 1.5 PPG), granted we didnt lose, which is good in the sense that if you cant win, dont lose, but it is what it is, i guess, we dropped points to Ipswich and Bournemouth, which while it happens, as you say, im sure Emery wont be happy with it.

3 points from 9 is very poor v Ipswich, Bournemouth and Man U. Particularly leading 2 of the games in the second half like we were.

Disappointing as we did enough. Still unbeaten since Arsenal which is decent. You occasionally get days like these, all teams do.

Rogers off it today, but he’ll bounce back. 

Thought Cash was going to concede another penalty and that RHS is become a stand out area of upgrade to improve this team.

Funny how that scoring momentum ruins your weekend but we should be pleased with a point for the long game, need to keep an eye on Spurs and Chelsea now.

Pretty pathetic today, we won't get in the Champions League again if we're so sloppy and lethargic after every European game, we should have won that comfortably

If we win every Champions League game without conceding goals, it matters not how sloppy and lethargic we are after every European game.

Putting it like that, you realise why we aren't in the conversation for being anywhere near title contenders.

Poor subs.... We just handed over control in the last 20 mins when we should have shut up shop.

Correct, and playing Barkley too far forward and no extra protection for cash

[The_Steve]

Still mad about VAR. Not enough to overturn the goal today.

With 10 men and arguably there best player sent off

I'm waiting for the factual evidence.

Yup. And yet, we have more than enough potential to be exactly that. All leg, at least for the immediate future.

Escaped with 1 annoying but super precious point. Two years ago, we lose this game. Today, we draw or win. Between 2016 and 2022, we lost four games to Bournemouth. They're not an easy side to beat. This one point could make all the difference for next year. It's about learning from this -- no time to wallow.

so what.  today they were bang average and we handed them a point.   yeah teams can get freak results but today we coukd and should have controlled that last 15 minutes easily.  I suspect Emery will be ripping them new holes.  especially martinez who just invited pressure back on us the whole last 15 mins.

And?

We didn’t. So in that context we’ve gained a point on them. Just trying to find a way to feel better about it.

Should Emi have saved it? Only saw it once, but maybe the world's best keeper should have...?

no but he shouldnt have just given the ball back to the 1 minute earlier

The line about "factual evidence" is such a cop out if they don't present any. I'm happy to change my mind, but from that image alone, I'm not convinced it's enough to say it was out of play.

[Razor]

i don't think VAR use those tv camera angles tbf

Sorry to say but the ball was out before Ollie pulled it back for SJM. 

[Farlz]

The Bailey/Maatsen double sub was a disaster. Completely lost all control. Should've kept McGinn on imo.

Apart from that though I'm not putting too much on Unai. Set up was good and should've been out of sight before the subs, purely players responsibility today for cocking up many good moments. A very common theme this season.
