Aston Villa (A) | PL | Post-Match Thread

Below par performance, but we should have won. Villa scored what would have been a perfectly good goal if it wasn't for the ref and lino messing up. Ironically, if that one had counted we would have stepped it up. Annoying performance.
 
As far as Phil's concerned, while he hasn't been beating three men and roofing it, he's looked steady to me - immaculate touch, closing down the opposition. Easy to conflate doing a specific job with being out of form.
I agree about the conflation, but I also think he is off form as well and could do with a spell out of the team. But, realistically, it’s either Foden or Grealish on the left, and only one of them has been fit recently, so needs must.
 
Pep either needs to trust Foden through the middle or bench him. He’s not a left winger and it’s unfair to judge him in that role.

He never get a chance in middle, because he can't dictate tempo or La Pausa yet. That is must requirement to be able to play as midfielder in Pep scheme.
