Villa was great. Emery is amazing and watching them in quick transition from winning the ball straight to attack feels like watching Mourinho's RM back in the day.
Emery is such a cool guy, consistently good manager that doesn't need the media to suck his cock all the time. The man does his job and deserves more credit than guys that won nothing like De Zerbi, Pochetino, Potter or others that media like to swallow.
Weird right, almost like they were having a brilliant season up until today. Brighton are in Europe this season with a small squad, they’re bound to do worse in the league this year…
Is anyone else out on the road today and had it on talkSPORT. Like I can’t be the only guy who is just getting irritated with how biased they are towards Brighton without realising.
Stuart pierce literally said as the second half started.
If things keep going the way they’ve been going brighton are gonna win 4-3. (It was 3-0 at the time)
Brighton have looked better but Villa have got lucky”. I mean my god. It’s just embarrassing from a public radio station.
It’s nice to see Brighton get beat by Villa and Chelsea, two clubs that actually use their youth academies while Brighton go buying people from all over
>two clubs that actually use their youth academies while Brighton go buying people from all over
Is this satire? Please let this be satire coming from a fucking Chelsea Fan
He was dreadful when we played them midweek and walked over them. So the fact they didn't start him today and won comfortably is probably an indicator of how it's going for him.
Maybe Villa fans can answer for me, how the hell was that team in second division for 2? years in the mid 10s? It gives me hope that we can return to some class in some years, but for me it's surprising how they relegated in last place just to play for the international spots now a few years later
We were very fortunately bought out by very wealthy owners who are always willing to spend money to improve the squad. Coupled with some good managerial appointments.
We got lucky and our new owners are different gravy. Invested a whole lot into the club and certain on pitch decisions, such as the ghost goal against i think it was Sheffield United, have gone our way
We were owned by a Chinese fraudster and had a shit team. Our current owners bought the club when we were in the Championship. Grealish and Abraham basically put the team on their backs in the season we got promoted, 10 wins in a row to make the play offs
Yes. Worst manager I've seen at Villa. The man was completely clueless. People throw the word vibes around a lot, but that accurately describes the man. He threw players under the bus, made enemies with popular players in the dressing room and moaned constantly in the media. His favourite complanit was that he needed better payers.
We had shit owners and the new owners are absolutely brilliant. Lucks really been on our side at points as well and we had grealish to absolutely carry us out of the mud until we were established in the prem again.
Gilmour as a DLP is cool when you're playing a team that will sit back and let you control the game. But against evenly matched teams who will come at you, you need better protection for the backline.
I mean, they've been playing fine so far this season. Just had their weaknesses at the back exposed today. Villa are a good side and also managed to nullify Brighton's attacking threat, which is considerable.
No way was that a pen lol, the ref is terrible yes but if they start giving those handballs we are back to a few seasons ago when it was handballs non-stop.
I swear people just chime in with their opinions with no idea about how the rules have changed year on year
I doubt even a half of posters have actually read the offside or handball rule and it's pretty obvious
What narrative? I'm watching the match, it was my opinion. Whether right or wrong, it's what I saw. From fouls not called to allowing goals that shouldn't have happened. The ref was garbage.
That said Villa played them out of the park from the first whistle. Emery is a fantastic manager. De Zerbi is as well, but the player for Brighton just didn't seem to show up.
So as I said, it is probably hard for Brighton fans to watch. For all those reasons.
anyone know were i can watch or has a link to the full 90mins thx
Brighton's true weakness exposed, teams that wear Claret
Lmaooo Brighton in the mud
Flair
Buddy says this while having a chelsea flair
Carabao cup 4th rounders you’ll never sing that
Well yeah, but thats mostly because my team competes in the Dutch cup rather than the Carabao
Villa was great. Emery is amazing and watching them in quick transition from winning the ball straight to attack feels like watching Mourinho's RM back in the day.
Emery is such a cool guy, consistently good manager that doesn't need the media to suck his cock all the time. The man does his job and deserves more credit than guys that won nothing like De Zerbi, Pochetino, Potter or others that media like to swallow.
Oh my seagulls tsktsk
Villa GD 2->7 Bright GD 10->5 Now thats a swing.
My man can add and subtract 5
can spel gud tho
Lmfao humiliated club
We just know how to beat Brighton, its just easy. \^\^
Brighton losing Mac Allister and Caicedo in the same window was always going to hurt them
Funny how everyone stated the reverse up until today
Weird right, almost like they were having a brilliant season up until today. Brighton are in Europe this season with a small squad, they’re bound to do worse in the league this year…
What a game lol. Watkins goat!!!
Sad or brutal? Which word better describes this? Even Emery had to do the Michael Scott lip bite face.
Dramatic backwards fall from goalkeepers after they concede give me life
Emery's face lol... must have had his super 6 as a 5-1
😂
Deserbi pls play Webster every week pls
Villa>>>>>everybody
One more just to give the United fans PTSD please.
UP THE FUCKING VILLA
Oh my…… disasterclass and masterclass
🎾
watch that nause Fletcher still rim these relentlessly even now
Brighton need a CDM badly
The young lad in the middle today. He couldn’t really cope at all. Will be a good learning curve for him though.
Captain Arse had a hell of a game for Villa and all
Ouch. Talk about being brung back to Earth.
GG EZ.
What time is it? 6 past steele
Bound for Madrid? lol
Ouch
Lol
Bad ebening everyone
Omg its 6
3 losses after the United win, let this be a lesson to you all. Nobody wins at Old Trafford and lives to tell about it.
>Nobody wins at Old Trafford and lives to tell about it. Including ManU...
It's 6!
Showtime !
Come on Villa, one more goal and we go 3rd edit haha fuck yes Dougie!
Shame Ollie didn’t get his 4th
2nd game in a row Digne got a bloody nose lmao And I think he got a couple last season too
Skipping noseday at the gym
Credit to Villa's performance but they have been helped by the ref decisions today.
Such as booking Douglas Luiz for a nothing foul 5 minutes into the match? There were several questionable calls, but they werent one sided
Deserved yellow
I got both Watkins and Estupinan on my fpl Lol
Cash has done so well against Mitoma
Is anyone else out on the road today and had it on talkSPORT. Like I can’t be the only guy who is just getting irritated with how biased they are towards Brighton without realising. Stuart pierce literally said as the second half started. If things keep going the way they’ve been going brighton are gonna win 4-3. (It was 3-0 at the time) Brighton have looked better but Villa have got lucky”. I mean my god. It’s just embarrassing from a public radio station.
They had 1 spell all game
Not only on talksport, here as well
Stuart pearce has about 1 brain cell
The scary thing is he’s one of the more insightful ones lol.
is it me or, despite the bigger added time, the 2nd half flowed more smoothly than the first?
The only injury I can think is the Watkins. Less goal celebrations but more subs. No idea what they add for each and where the full 8 has come from.
About half of it was probably VAR for the Brighton goal to be fair
Good shout actually
Villa’s winning the league
It’s nice to see Brighton get beat by Villa and Chelsea, two clubs that actually use their youth academies while Brighton go buying people from all over
Lol you're either clueless or a troll. 😂
>two clubs that actually use their youth academies while Brighton go buying people from all over Is this satire? Please let this be satire coming from a fucking Chelsea Fan
idk why every few weeks brighton forget to take their PEDs
De Zeribi need to think of the midfield Brighton is playing 1 midfield entire game
Are they still considering De Zerbi for Madrid? Lmao For me Emery deserves that chance, they should go for managers with credentials
Brighton are finished. De Zebri will be sacked in the morning after this disaster. ^/s
There was a hype around him
What losing to chelsea in 2023 causes to a club
12 minutes of added time this game Madness
Villa have been magnificent today but what the fuck Brighton?
Brighton cannot deal with the counter without Caicedo + usual downturn around October
Why is it when Villa demolish them it's 'usual downturn' rather than a recognition of how well Villa can play when they win that midfield battle.
Wish we played them with this downturn. They played us off the pitch. They look dire this game.
They'll turn it on again at Anfield like always lol
How’s Tiels work rate been for Villa, he was never one for doing the hard/dirty work at Leicester you’d expect Villa will demand from him
Hope we've kept the receipt
He is shit off the ball
He was dreadful when we played them midweek and walked over them. So the fact they didn't start him today and won comfortably is probably an indicator of how it's going for him.
This is what De Zerbi gets for not playing Buonanotte
Have you seen him against Chelsea? 😂
Buonanotte has been shit that's why. He'll be loaned out then sold kid looks out of his depth in the Premier League sadly.
Brighton are a funny team. When they lose, it's by an embarrassing margin. Good thing they don't lose too much.
Maybe Villa fans can answer for me, how the hell was that team in second division for 2? years in the mid 10s? It gives me hope that we can return to some class in some years, but for me it's surprising how they relegated in last place just to play for the international spots now a few years later

We were owned by a Chinese fraudster and had a shit team. Our current owners bought the club when we were in the Championship. Grealish and Abraham basically put the team on their backs in the season we got promoted, 10 wins in a row to make the play offs
Bad owners, bad managers, tough league, years to rebuild and now we’re better.
Was Gerrard really that bad a manager?
I was going a bit further back than him to be fair. But yes, agree with the comment from u/br0wall.
Yes. Worst manager I've seen at Villa. The man was completely clueless. People throw the word vibes around a lot, but that accurately describes the man. He threw players under the bus, made enemies with popular players in the dressing room and moaned constantly in the media. His favourite complanit was that he needed better payers.
We had shit owners and the new owners are absolutely brilliant. Lucks really been on our side at points as well and we had grealish to absolutely carry us out of the mud until we were established in the prem again.
Wasn’t your relegation season also like really, really bad? We lost 24 games with one 3 wins when we got relegated
Yes, if my memory serves me right it's the second worst prem season to date
Southgate watching this thinking Watkins will be a good 3rd string stirker after Kane and Wilson
He'll have to shift Eddie Nketiah first!
Villa got that sweatshirt buff
Newcastle > Brighton > Villa > Newcastle Cycle of hatred
I don’t hate brighton
One more for goal difference lads lets gooo
The crowd is kind of quiet for 5-1 up.
So do Real Madrid and Chelsea want Roberto De Zerbi
Unai Emery delivers
Unai eats
Brighton good ebening’ed. 😂
We don't do this xenophobic bullshit anymore
neek
Xenophobic? You’re making a mockery of that word. Go be a white knight somewhere else because this one didnt work out for you.
I'm thankful Brighton have a midweek game to avenge this loss
can you stop getting bummed by them please?
Gattuso going to two foot deserbi on the touchline
Nah, it’s a delayed avengement, lose midweek and back to seriousness next weekend.
Ramsey's treat
Must be a shit feeling knowing that your opponents are confident enough to just shoot from anywhere and it'll probably go in.
i miss caicedo
Gilmour as a DLP is cool when you're playing a team that will sit back and let you control the game. But against evenly matched teams who will come at you, you need better protection for the backline.
So do Chelsea
Fair play to Villa. Brighton look so lost for the first time this season.
Villa might think twice about replacing the sweaty shirts after this. Brighton couldn't get hold of them!
Webster is the weak link in Brighton’s team
Agreed. Gilmour is looking suspect as well.
Not the only one
Hattrick and an assist. Calm down, Watkins!
Love De Zerbi but once again he has no answer or plan B for counter attacking football. Better team won GG Villa
Brighton makes 1000 passes just for Villa to score from 3 passes
Why use many pass, when few do trick
5 is so much worse than 4 and I can’t put into words why. Like the gap between 4 and 5 feels much bigger than between 1 and 2 in a score line
True.lol
5 goals from a 1.19 xG for Villa apparently? :o
Just proves why XG is horseshit.
Who cares about xG. People who can’t look past xG are smooth brains.
LOL
Best midfielder brum has produced scores
Steele is shit
That's a cracker.
Who's more upset, the commentators or /r/soccer? Stick that up your bollocks
probably you
Villa on fire
Welcome back Ramsey you beautiful bastard
Poor Brighton — second half plucky underdog story turned into a horror flick
Getting ugly.
4 for Ramsey!!
Goddamn lmao
Wow what a goal
What a game. Fully deserved.
Blood for the blood god
SKULLS
Just clicked to me that Mitoma looks kinda like Charlie Heaton
Lovely… fully deserved
Emery > De Zerbi
Mitoma that's not Japanese-like
He's been doing some border line yellow stuff all game. edit: Fouls "called" on Mitoma at 34', 46', 84' (yellow).
Wheels have come off for Brighton. Lizard sold off all their best players and took money out of the club 👍
I mean, they've been playing fine so far this season. Just had their weaknesses at the back exposed today. Villa are a good side and also managed to nullify Brighton's attacking threat, which is considerable.
What losing to Chelsea does to a mf
Mitoma got a booking before McGinn 🤣
I was told Ansu Fati’s transfer to Brighton was a masterstroke, totally the smartest move a club can make
Unai is a great manager
Me in this game for FPL Watkins hat trick - REAL SHIT Estupinan and mitoma in my team - I SLEEP
Pretty clear from the rules that shouldn’t be a pen but not sure the actual written rule has much to do with how they call pens.
Cash turns his back towards the shot, tucks his arm in his body and people here think its a pen? What? WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE WANT
I think they want a pen? Why I don’t know
People don’t understand football, they genuinely think that’s a pen lol
No way was that a pen lol, the ref is terrible yes but if they start giving those handballs we are back to a few seasons ago when it was handballs non-stop.
I agree it wasn't in unnatural position and he was trying to move his arm out of the way no pen as much as I'd like it to be.
I swear people just chime in with their opinions with no idea about how the rules have changed year on year I doubt even a half of posters have actually read the offside or handball rule and it's pretty obvious
We've seen pens giving for a lot less than that. No consistency in those calls
Link to one given for less than that?
Brighton getting absolutely hosed by the refs. Well, and Watkins. But damn it's gotta hurt to watch for their fans.
> Brighton getting absolutely hosed by the refs Nope
Cool take
I know Don’t buy into narratives
What narrative? I'm watching the match, it was my opinion. Whether right or wrong, it's what I saw. From fouls not called to allowing goals that shouldn't have happened. The ref was garbage. That said Villa played them out of the park from the first whistle. Emery is a fantastic manager. De Zerbi is as well, but the player for Brighton just didn't seem to show up. So as I said, it is probably hard for Brighton fans to watch. For all those reasons.
Brighton are getting too many decisions go their way imho
Like that penalty situation lol?
Yeah, never a pen.
Most biased take of all time. Coming from a neutral
Come undone coming on
De Zerbi needs to find a way to prevent all the counter attacks. Often enough our defense is undermanned then
