This isn't really how Villa normally play. You don't wanna set up to give away 75% possession and a tons of shots if you are looking to win stuff. You can't play Chelsea every week.

Gallagher hiding away from the ball
Exactly.
Not the right thread but I always thought OGS was a very smart manager in that he knew what he could and couldn’t do with the squad, and he was very harshly judged when two managers later you see that the squad is still a long way from playing « proactive football ». At least with OGS we had some fun and high scoring games
Yet still managed to ‘win’ a penalty in the dying seconds against us. Tells us more about the IQ of our defenders.
He has won the ultimate jackpot
How did we lose to Chelsea? I can grasp losing to the likes of Bournemouth, Brighton, Palace etc. because at least those teams are capable of playing as a team once in a while. There's nothing cohesive about Chelsea. Just headless chickens running around, failing to do basic stuff.
He’s just a toff Lingard. Gives the illusion of being very busy without doing much.
Because you are also shit.
Doesn't that also describe United?
game on
The low IQ one has pulled a goal back.
Ok, someone needs to make a gif of the gammons celebrating that goal
There's definitely gold in there

Madueke scores
That goal shows how smart Palmer is, one time pass
That narrows it down to about 12-13 players in the Chelsea squad.
Freekick to Chelsea right on edge of box.
He was wasted at City, too.
What was that goal celebration about?
Why do teams still try to play out from the back? I see so many goals given away these days by teams doing that.
Madueke is on fire tonight, best I've seen him play.
Shite free kick.
Didn't take much notice to be honest.
Exactly this, 100% agree. OGS knew exactly what kind of team and players he had and played to their strengths.
Too far out for Palmer.
Too much of this standing of players feet.
Did they all bet on a red card in this game ? Everybody's taking out someone
How is it possible for Villa's reserve goalie to be more of a madman than Martinez
He was until he wasn't. When he told the team to press Liverpool and try and play on the front foot, that was it.
How would you describe Garnacho or Antony?
They are ignoring Mudryk deliberately
Thought so too. Lols
Potato patato
Villa all at sea in the 2nd half
Mudryk does well in flashes but his end product is a serious worry.
Villa losing control here
Chelsea lucky there.
Well yeah that was my point in the post "Zed" quoted. OGS was criticized and supposedly pushed by his players to try and play like "the bigger teams" and it all went to shit from there.
If it ain't broke...
Carlos is a tank!
Are Villa aware that you're allowed to take a set piece without doing three fake run-ups first?
