Villa (A) Premier League - 4/10/20 - 19:15

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Something underlying to this, got to be. Simply not at the races, Covid worries as Usher said? Complacency? Bit of both. Cannot and won’t happen again, tweak the system and bollock the players. Love Firmino but he needs a blow as others have said. 

[Strontium]

Villa deserve the win, but anyone denying that this was a freak result needs to give their head a wobble. The xG stats alone prove that on a normal day, it would have been much closer.

[aws]

The result wasn't a freak as Villa were well worth a win but the score was a freak. Three deflected goals - ridiculous. On run of play it was more a 4-2 or 5-3.

Nothing to do with last nights result but I have noticed this season that Curtis Jones looks a massive prospect but doesn't fancy 50-50's much.

By the way, we were fucking shite, but how about Jack Grealish. That guy is great. Top player.

He was superb. Graft and craft.

He's quality. Don't get why he has detractors on here, he's a superb footballer.

Well, I laughed.

Never heard of this Rick O'Shea fella but he did well getting a hatrick on Sunday.

He's made Garth Crooks team of the week.

I loved Bob.

Bit concerned by Jurgen's post-match comments: 

 

'I thought we were outstanding, just lacking that wee bit of intensity and composure in the final third.'

Never go full Rodgers. 

Coincidentally Leicester batter City away and then lose at home to West Ham. What a weird set of results happening right across the board.

I haven’t been as bothered by a result as I am this in years; you could justify the Karius-inspired CL final loss, Reina’s 2006 derby nightmare and the Hodgson years, but this is something else. The first few weeks of the season have been odd across the board, but our result was just beyond ludicrous and I’m basically at the point where I’m going to ignore football until the derby, and only then if COVID hasn’t left us having to field half a team.

I'm also going to ignore football until our next game, then I'll ignore it again until our game after that.
