My next door neighbour had his annual Halloween party tonight which me and my family always attend,he puts on a good spooky horror show, my family all went except me and my two grandsons, us three went to our own second half horror show. Wish I'd stayed at home. Two Saturdays ,chalk and cheese,we can't have it all are own way.
Tactics created that poor showing, we didn't, and not for the first time have a credible midfield. Kamara was again missing in action,Mcginn and (nothing to do with his penalty) was a passenger. Perhaps everyone had an eye on Tuesday, but tonight was as poor as it's gets especially the second half.We should have lost the chances Fulham had. I can't remember a shot on Target the second half. Villa park used to be a fortress and yet we have had only one win and one decent performance. If this continues we can forget competing for European football next season. We have made expensive signings that are doing ok, ok is not enough to get to the level of last season. Tuesday is a free hit ,let's hope we are not embarrassed.
Who are the most troubled side in the premier league at the moment and who do we have a poor record against on their ground and who do we play in our next league game. Let's hope we can regroup for next Sunday or there will be some harsh words especially if Barcelona do to us what Bournemouth did in the week and Fulham second half.

I think we have to accept that this season we are likely to be inconsistent whilst Emery makes sure the entire squad are imbued with how Emery wants them to play so I’m not unduly surprised at the Fulham result. Having said that I must admit I was surprised by the performances of certain players. If Alysson doesn’t track back to support his full back then he won’t stay in the first XI too long. I don’t know if Emery instructed him to stay further up the pitch because his performance was very different to that against Man City. The other player who disappointed me was Goretzka when we needed some control in the middle of the park in the second half he wasn’t there, given his experience I thought that was poor. Looking forward to Tuesday against Barcelona, we normally pull out our better performances against good sides.

Why couldn't he make those changes 10 mins earlier, it was plain to see we were out of legs and you knew a goal was coming. at least we didnt lose.

Very very poor 2nd half performance that. Why oh why did Mginn take that penalty?Oh well onwards to Barcelona fancy us to get a result there I'm saying 0-4 🤣🤣.

Said it was coming. Substitutions were too late.
How have we ended up like this.
Only one winner from here.

Gomes on for Goretzka.
We're turning the ball over too easily.

Counting this one since the 24/25 season we have had 7 penalties and converted 3 that's appalling. I'd be surprised if any other PL sides stats were that poor. Can we please sign someone who is regularly capable of scoring from 12 yards🤬.

Tonight's game is one of those banana skin games. Should probably win, but we need to be at it from minute one, like last Saturday.
I hope I'm wrong (it does happen from time to time 😹) but this could be another Brentford from last season.
Come on Villa. Statement win !
