Lapsed Midlander who now lives by the sea. Villa season ticket holder.
We aren’t looking after the ball well enough. And that creates more turnovers.

What changed at HT? Cash, sure. But also McGinn & Rogers swapped sides. McGinn’s numbers not great, but Completion & Progressive Passes higher. #avfc

One last thing… I noticed it in the ground on Saturday, but Morgan Rogers. Look at the middle box here.
As a ‘10’, what we want him to do in Emery’s system is exactly what Mateta does for 1-0. But those numbers are dire. Passes Attempted, Completed, Received are so low. #avfc

4. In the end he does none, worries he’s not gonna keep up and heads back. Torres steps up to play offside (that’s what we would have done last season) but Maatsen knows Sarr has pace and a run on him so chases back.
Two easy passes. No pressure on the ball. A dozen poor decisions. Goal. #avfc

2. Tielemans isn’t on a man though (imagine he’d go to press Hughes if the ball went there). But behind him is Mateta, who has tons of space between the lines given Tielemans relatively high position.
This is the point Mateta receives the ball. #avfc

Last thing on the weekend for me…
Watch the first goal back. And just look at the amount of tiny things that aren’t right.
1. There’s no real pressure on the ball. Watkins goes to press, but can’t really do it alone. Bailey, Barkey, Bogarde & Rogers are all ‘on men’. Easy pass for Guehi. #avfc

To me, it’s the shape. We’re so wide.
This is today, #avfc in possession. The back 4 spread across the pitch. From here, Tielemans moves up the pitch, but that gap remains.
That is a team asking to be caught on transition.

13 shots from 30% possession for Palace.
Our attacking structure is hugely compromising our defensive shape. And it’s relying on individuals to bail us out.
Not a new thing, been going on for a full calendar year now. #avfc

International Break is over! And Premier League is back tomorrow! And this year, the PL is pretending to be the Championship. 3rd to 13th is absolute, unadulterated carnage.
Anyone who puts a run together between now & the FA Cup can set themselves up amazingly here. #avfc
