Fucking livid with the keeper. It was his fault we were 1-1 and he’s fucking standing on the ball as if we’re 5-0 up. Painfully slow.
He was standing on the ball similar to Emi Martinez at Villa. Brighton also use that tactic. Try to draw out strikers.
Dean should have scored, Lofthouse should shoot or pass faster, Harrison touch awful. Lewingtons pass to Bate. Our tactics which killed any conposure we have in final third. So many things wrong, but easy to blame the ball playing keeper - who yes made a mistake for their first goal. We should be livid with the attackers for not killing the game, not the keeper for putting his studs on the ball
I get that, but it wasn’t drawing them out at 1-1 as they were happy to sit. We were chasing the game and he was just massively slowing it down and the reason why the fans were getting on his back.
His passing was decent but not without error. Some of his long passing was shocking and he kicked it right at their player. If we signed him for his passing, then I’m disappointed with what I saw. Tomlinson was also getting pretty frustrated.
All well and good doing a few passes that most keepers can’t do, but if you’re overall game is weak you’re in trouble. In this league, he’s going to get absolutely abused at set pieces.
Hoping he settles and improves over the next few games.
Yeah I can understand that. It is quite interesting because I watch pretty much every Aston Villa game as long as it doesn't clash with Dons, but I have to same I'm very impressed that Marschall has picked up what Villa want from him and how Emi Martinez plays so quickly. Does that help us? I'm not so sure right now. When Emery took over the Villa fans would boo and groan for similar reasons, they now see the benefit. If Emi waits for the press one of the central midfielders typically has more space and can drive forward kick starting the attack - Villa have been superb with that through McGinn and Luiz. Bigger gaps open leaving a better chance to exploit their midfielder and create attacking opportunities. I'm guessing that is what he was hoping for. Maybe it wasn't the game, maybe our midfielders movements aren't in sync with Marshalls ideas. Typically though if the press doesn't happen and no forward passes open up you'll just see sideways passes between keeper and centre backs - so the game is just as slow as him standing on it.
