Aston Villa Post Match Thoughts

[BigLadonOS]

Tonight showed us just how much Warny lacks in tactical knowledge and why he needs help from a good tactician by his side.

As said above, it almost goes without saying that when the opposition is down to 10 men you go 2 up front and play down the flanks to force them to play 3 at the back and 2 on either flank to cover the wing play leaving 3 to cover the middle this gives you an extra man in the middle of the park to make the opposition run about like headless chicken and tire themselves out. Simple tactics that sadly Warny did not employ when their man went off and carry it on in the 2nd half.

3 points thrown away because of bad tactics :-(

Totally disagree. The difference was in the gulf in class in the second half. Grealish somehow managed to wrangle through three tackles which led to their second goal. Luck? bad tackling? Great skill? Probably something of everything. Sometimes it's the little things that matter. After the second goal there was no way we were going to impose ourselves on them, whatever the tactics.

Maybe they were better in the 2nd half but the plan should have been implemented the second after the sending off and that way they would have had to set up totally different for the 2nd half and things could have gone a lot different then they did because we showed them no killer instinct after the sending off. Totally different set up for them in the 2nd half if we had used the usual 11 against 10 tactic after the sending off. As stated above, 3 points thrown away because of a lack of tactical knowledge.

Money talks it’s as simple as that.
The difference in wages are obscene.
It’s the same in every league.

If they go up they will get beat most weeks.
