Living only 6 miles from Villa Park I had an easy trip today. I agree with those who said we were the better team, BUT we didn't (as PV said post-game) make the right choices in the last third. We certainly deserved at least a point.

Two points lost today. Why don’t we shoot from shooting positions??

The game is about scoring goals. Whilst we played better than them we didn’t deserve to win because we have nothing in front of goal. Playing like Man City but scoring like Norwich ain’t going to cut it in this league. The draw was the fair result. I dont agree with that . If the ref was not bias he would have sent off at least 1 AV player and we would have scored more . How can you say taht was a fair result , did you even see the game , thre reffering of it was comical at times , Fair result my arse !

IMHO had we started 433 we would have lost that game.

Sorry, just cannot agree that referee’s decisions help you score more goals. We got in the right positions, we created half opportunities, however we are just not ruthless enough with the final pass or individual’s finishing skills are not up to scratch. PV himself mentioned it after the match as have numerous other commentators and posters on here. You cannot rely on a ref to help you out in a match, we’ve had enough crap decisions this season to know this. It’s a fair result because they scored one goal and we scored one goal, no others reason.

Back from the game. Probably should have won but a draw was the least we deserved. Formation was odd. Didn’t work for Semi Final and didn’t work today either. We have played 4-3-3 for 90% of the season and can’t see why we we should change this now.

We have played 4-3-3 for 90% of the season and can’t see why we we should change this now. Thought the formation worked well. Only problem was our final ball or the slowness in making a quicker decision to pass rather than shoot. Wrong decision making with Zaha being the biggest culprit. With that said I thought the formation with 5 in midfield a lot of the time gave Eze more ball time. Villa changed that in the second half and Eze didn’t get as much ball or space. We should have wrapped it up in the first half and then we would not be questioning the formation? We were the better team and should have won.

And you realise manager picks the captain, right? Give me a break.

PS. I'll add to the Luka debate by saying I was disappointed to see him start but have to confess that I thought he had a decent game. Edited by doombear (16 May 2022 12.19am)
