I'm just enjoying tonight but in the back of my mind i guess i am a bit worried that Villa kind of played into our hands really. Massive credit to the players and the manager though for making it happen.Question is, is this a one off? Will we see this style of play and commitment for the other games?
This game doesn't ease any of my concerns, it does show this team can get top 4 if they are set up well if anything
The first half was everything wrong about our season in a nutshell: the terrible decision making and poor quality in attack, the uncertainty around the goalkeeper and the defence, the awful goals we conceded. In fairness we still pressed them really well and forced a lot of errors in the first half but it just summed us up really. Even the Garnacho offside in the second half -so frustrating to watch the decision making sometimes. Second half showed what can happen when it does actually work though.
I think it's very obvious what EtH is trying to do with the team and the way he wants to play- whether it's possible to do that week in week out and set a template for next season remains to be seen.
