How the **** did we manage not to score there

 

[Brown Nose]

Two players letting us down here - Lookman and Ndidi. Both are nowhere near the pace or quality required on the ball.

The rest doing okay.

 

[tedfoxxx]

We’re making chances at least, they’re a bunch of headless chickens so if our players can actually engage their brains for 10 minutes we might be able to pick them off.

 

[sparky79]

Shouldn't have played lookman in this game but other than that the others doing OK.

 

[Micky]

These are shit.

 

[glyn]

And this James Maddison is so much better than the one we had from March to October

 

[tedfoxxx]

Holy flaps their striker just chucked himself on the floor and didn’t get a free kick!

 

[homer]

**** me, he’s just ****ing wank, isn’t he

 

[bocadillo]

Same, very odd culture we’ve managed to develop there.

Like 'taking the knee'?

 

[Graz]

I'd get Perez on for Lookman at half time.

Lookman isn't doing anything out wide (or anywhere) anyway, so if we want someone playing more narrow then I'd prefer Perez there - which says something about how shit Lookman is!

I don't think Ndidi has done much wrong.

Lookman though.... Holy baby Jebus what a ****ing useless waste of space.

 

[Micky]

The sky commentary have even identified how poor Lookman has been.

 

[glyn]

We are closing down in midfield far more consistently.

but I’m now seeing an abikity to win fouls wasn’t just a Grealish thing for Villa

Perez is shit when played out wide

Albrighton is the one

Repeatedly

 

[Graz]

Barnes and Maddison both playing well today and causing Villa real problems.

Daka is lively too, and the other two will get him in eventually

 

[glyn]

Albrighton is the one

With Barnes and Thomas having fun on the left, Albrighton on the right would be great.

 

[Graz]

Perez is shit when played out wide

Albrighton is the one

The pace in our attack is what's upsetting their defence.

While I'd usually prefer Albrighton of the 3, he'd slow it down too much here or just not be up with play.

 

[glyn]

Can’t afford not to capitalise on these chances as we will concede again

You shouldn't need pace to beat Ashley fecking Young.
