Bananaman Posted 22 September, 2012 Share Posted 22 September, 2012 whilst it does not excuse that shambles of a defensive showing.. The decision to call Adam offside when he was clearly on, led to that goal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the wedge Posted 22 September, 2012 Share Posted 22 September, 2012 Awful awful goal. Everything we do, apart from one or two of our best players, is one pace behind every team we've played so far. We're struggling to adjust to the pace of the league here. Which is half our problem I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 22 September, 2012 Share Posted 22 September, 2012 team are so jittery, one mistake and it's in our net. They know that, Villa know that.

Maggie May Posted 22 September, 2012 Share Posted 22 September, 2012 It's definitely confidence now, not ability. Something needs to happen fast, otherwise it'll get worse.

the wedge Posted 22 September, 2012 Share Posted 22 September, 2012 Our passing is so off the mark again today. Confidence we had built up is rapidly fading away, but we've got to keep fighting here.

saint lard Posted 22 September, 2012 Share Posted 22 September, 2012 Lose this and Adkins will be shown the door I suspect. hoped he would deliver in this league but had my doubts deep down from when he was appointed that he could be here long term,still possible to turn it around though.here's hoping. he is without doubt the one of the best managers outside the Premier League. i don't think he will be given time to acclimatise,that doesn't mean he shouldn't be given the time.....but time will eventually run out for him. Please turn it around second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalek2003 Posted 22 September, 2012 Share Posted 22 September, 2012 Looks increasingly as though we got promoted a season too soon. Still, I know it is not a popular opinion, but I half think the management suspected we would get relegated with the bonus of the Premier compensation. we have to be strong as a club, but it is not going to be pleasant if we stay rooted to the foot of the table !

Dr. Kucho Posted 22 September, 2012 Share Posted 22 September, 2012 On the positive side, we play some nice football at times passing it around. But after that goal all confidence seems to have gone and we struggle to keep the ball. Lallana had a decent start and Ramirez has shown some of his skills. Schneiderlin and Yoshida also having a decent game. Puncheon and Clyne having a poor game and Lambert seems of the pace. For the second half I would think of bringing Rodriguez on for Lambert and maybe Guly for Puncheon. COYR we can do this, lets get our first points of the season!

CWD Posted 22 September, 2012 Share Posted 22 September, 2012 Where does Fox go? His positional sense is really appalling. On the plus side we have been the better team, and Fonte is starting to acclimatise to PL level. It's just final ball that lets us down time and time again.

saint michael Posted 22 September, 2012 Share Posted 22 September, 2012 defence is sitting deep and gap between them and attack is big and midfield not coping too great a task for them so it will start going lng over their heads.

Crab Lungs Posted 22 September, 2012 Share Posted 22 September, 2012 If I was an impartial viewer, I'd think Villa were a non-league team. However, with EPL, one defensive lapse (no guesses as to who) and we're 0-1 down. Saints passing has been superb and they've dominated but haven't created anything clear cut. Wouldn't want to compromise that playing style for the ****e Villa "play" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convict Colony Posted 22 September, 2012 Share Posted 22 September, 2012 I know Adkins loves stats and KPI's so thought i would post a review of that half according to 4-4-2 stats zone app on the iphone we have had the following: 58.5% possession Territory 54.5% 175 out of 247 passes completed villa have managed 113 In the attacking 3rd we have completed 56/91 passes, villa 22/51 However for some reason we have done more defensive tackles than villa 12 v 8. So in my rubbish supposition we are passing well but the final ball is usually **** as villa aren't having to tackle or block which seems to explain Puncheons influence on the game.
