No space for a confidence player in our squad middle table quality

Still winning obviously but they should be shot mentally and physically at 2-0 down at the break.

Now they've new life.

Serious question, is Stones on drugs?

 

[Phil1]

Never a left sided(or right) attacker asking as he’s got a hole in his arse mate. He’d be Villa’s 2nd best player though in any attacking position.

He’s playing where he’s been told and having a great game. Anything else is just noise.

We should have scored more at least 1 definitely, vulnerable at back so will need cushion right after break

 

[Tricky_Trev]

You don't like to hang any player out to dry but that's his career with us done imo.

It already was done to be fair, but today is a confirmation.

Overall, we’ve been excellent. John Stones is the only reason they are still in it.

 

[Coljj]

John Stones doing his best Deontay Wilder impression for their goal.

 

[BigOscar]

The sooner John Stones ends up where he belongs, at Arsenal, the better. Just so soft. Not exactly impressed with ZInchenko's "attempt" to stop the guy in the middle either, just watched him run across him and head it in unopposed.

Other than that, we are battering them and should have 4 or 5 if we were just a bit more decisive in front of goal.

 

[Nascent Blues]

He didn't slip. He actually lost all sense of kinesthetic awareness due to the flight of the ball.

And Stones hadn't done badly up til then. But you're always feeling a mistake is never too far away these days. Ah well, it cancels out the corner for our second goal, I guess.
