We’re so poor we can’t even get the ball to ANY of our attackers.

The ease with which we get passed through is so fucking embarrassing.

Maresca said he’s almost ready. And we desperately need him.

Caicedo + Veiga in CM is extremely limited and not a combo I ever want to see again. Veiga should ONLY be a CB or LB. We need someone who can get on the ball and break the press.

We look just awful from front to back. So many ridiculous misplaced passes.

Anthony Taylor has been DESPERATE to fuck us over here and now he has.

You know there’s a massive lack of quality at the back when a tiny club like Bournemouth is instructed that they can pen us in deep.

Zero creativity in the middle of the pitch at all with Enzo and KDH both out. And Disasi is a calamity at RB.

I wonder if Nkunku is starting to get annoyed/upset that he’s not starting at all much. He was meant to be one of our superstar attackers and now seems more like a squad player which certainly isn’t what he signed up for.

Southampton dominate for the first 30 minutes, miss the penalty, and it’s now game over. Damn.

Btw, how do we STILL not have a fucking long term shirt sponsor 2+ years into this ownership?

I’m betting that Eghbali and Clearlake will buy Boehly out.

Hopefully this is that super rare match where literally ALL of Palmer, Neto, Madueke, and Felix played like shit at the same time. Madueke was at least very dangerous first half and then we just seemed to transform into a completely different side second half. What happened?

Not a single one of our players played well second half. Zero.

Comfortably our worst half of football this seasons so far.

Kamada has committed about 8 fouls today, 6 of which have been AFTER his yellow card.

We can even get the ball into our attacking players in the final third this half. Total opposite of the first half. Palmer having to drop all the way into our half to get the ball.

Absolutely awful energy and intent this second half.

We badly miss the control and combativeness of Lavia.

Literally almost EVERY foul or giveaway in our half by Caicedo seems to result in a goal. Fucking unbelievable.

The only real danger from Palace was the quick turnover as usual against us. We have Caicedo playing as a literal 1 man midfield with Enzo and Palmer playing more advanced. So we have to be super careful about turning it over in midfield or they can kill us. If Noni had finished one of those two point blank chances this would probably be over in this heat. Palace would have to expend so much energy chasing the game that we could’ve just passed it around and controlled the game for the entire second half.

The heat looks like it has prevented either side from playing at high pace. Both teams look like they don’t want to run much at all because of it. Look at all the players’ kits being completely saturated in sweat.

I hate having to watch our matches via stream. 🤬 Can very rarely find one that doesn’t freeze and buffer every few minutes.

Palace have a few really dangerous players but I hope we start on the front foot straight from kickoff and take the game to them. To go into the international break with a confidence building win would be great.

If he continues playing well and developing it’s more likely Villa sell Ollie Watkins than Duran at this point. He’s nearing 30 so they may want to cash in while they still can. Duran could become their main man for many years.
