Feel like people would be happier if he went gung ho and we were 3 down at half time.

It’s about balance. 
 

I don’t want to start with a side that gives us zero chance of creativity from midfield. That doesn’t mean go “gung ho”. It might just mean picking two defensive midfielders instead of three

Also how can you use all your subs chasing the game and still refuse to consider Ricardo

Bizarre 

[MrSpaM]

Says a lot about the officiating when even the side that won the game were chanting "you're not fit to referee" as he walked off the pitch

 

That was on par with "my mates the ref tonight"

Seen enough today to think once everyone is integrated we’ll be ok - I think we stay up

[South Shire Fox]

I could understand that team selection if it was Man City/Arsenal. At home to Villa is a game that we are more that capable of picking up points. Massive opportunity wasted with that negative team selection imo

Poor first half.  As others have said, we set up defensively and showed too much respect for a visiting team.  By the time we got some impact subs on and tilted the pitch in our favor, we were two down and unable to overcome.

 

I do not claim to know how to manage a football club, but I believe some of those subs should be starting next match.

I wish we could do that - table football style

A few positives Okoli was much better than I expected and you can tell El Khannous is a player

Okoli was better than expected but he’s wretched on their second goal

I wonder if Cooper has employed the classic 'new manager' tactic of going into a new club and trying to assert his authority by picking on a senior pro? If so, he's picked the wrong player.

[chapero82]

I could accept us going down with the best chance of staying up, but the clubs decision with the one of the worst choices of a manager really has not given us much hope.

David Coote looks like a children's entertainer who has been accused of a crime he is possibly not guilty of. Nevertheless, his career will never recover and he will forever be viewed with suspicion as he is forced from neighbourhood to neighbourhood, turd-smeared underwear and fireworks streaming through each successive letterbox

 

[sbfox]

We're going to have some fans who back Cooper for far, far longer than they should, because he will keep putting us in situations where we have to throw caution to the wind to try and salvage a result. Let's not kid ourselves that we saw anything other than 70 minutes of clueless was and then 20 minutes of recklessness. 

 

What I would give for Maresca (or any other manager that has a defined system of play). Under Cooper we play, tactically at least, like a Sunday league side. Players thrown together with no real instruction - it's painful to watch.

We saw it with Southgate in the Euros - passing for the sake of passing. 

 

One positive - our season won't be defined by games against the top 6.

Even then, Skipp and Winks work way better together to get the ball up the pitch. It’s not like Wilf is coming in and destroying people with slide tackles or blocks, his passing at the back puts others under pressure. 
 

Mav looked great, I hope Cooper doesn’t see him as some kind of impact player for Ayew.

 

Fatawu is stranded with no support, such a waste of a player. 

The problem first half was Winks and Skipp were playing to close to each other. We needed one of them to break forward when we had possession.

Wilf cant play with his back to Goal aside from his touch which is why I'd move him back to his old position.

Mav and Fats on either wing is our best options out wide.

[Nolucklcfc]

Mavididi has to start.

100% but I think people are overacting about the overall performance.

# Although results are sh!t..

 

Finished it for you... 😐

I have not seen one shit result 

 

Quite impressed actually that we pushed genuine top 4 contenders all the way at home 

 

The Fulham result was tough but not shit 

 

Need some reality and perspective around here 

 

Everton thier results are shit

I'm frustrated because with a more positive approach we could and should have got a point in both of the last two games. Neither Villa nor Fulham looked that great imho. 

[An Away Move]

It’s so obvious that we aren’t good enough defensively to play defensively for 70m and then have a go. This team can cause problems for most teams if we respect them less.

Why were the Villa fans unhappy with him? Gave them more than enough from where I was sitting

He was looking leggy by then and we should have brought Vesty on who I'm sure would have won that Ball for there Goal.

[TheFiveTime]

right attitude but we're giving teams too much respect, we should back ourselves

It seems like he has the keep it tight mentality, then unleash the attacking creativity later in the game

 

All well and good if you have a back line capable of keeping it tight.  For us it's a recipe for playing from behind.

Has to be brave enough to drop Vardy for me.
