I'll tell you what also. Villa are getting so much luck. We're shit right now but it isn't dropping for us.

Nothing to do with luck. We have been weak, complacent, slow and rattled

How about a few balls over the top, they are playing a high line, Diaz needs to be more confident and dink it over.

Yes ,this - opposition definitely will not expect it
Problem is, Pep doesn't do balls over the top which is incredible

 

[bluethai]

Lots of mistakes from Foden and Walker, there's so little to no concentration between these two.

 

[Blu1]

Villa are not great we are an utter shambles at the minute giving them time & huge gaps in midfield.

 

[Josh_D]

Just Josh, by the skin of our teeth.

I’ll take it. My prediction going for the first half was a draw. Was too much of a wuss to make one for the second.

Still believe in the players but something has to change.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Pep won’t change a thing yet which is frustrating as Alvarez is like a duck out of water in that midfield role and Bernie completely wasted .. It’s Grim but we can win if the lads start believing we can…. !

 

[bluealf]

He's been shit himself for a while. They all look knackered to be fair

Kovacic, Phillips, Nunes all midfielders with nowhere near enough minutes to have been worth signing, meaning the A team are playing even more than ever.

Factor in KDB being injured.

No wonder they looked fucked

 

[Blue warrior]

Currently we just have to stay in games best we can. We definitely don’t control games like in previous seasons, hope to fcuk we get our mojo back asap at the minute we don’t look right in and out of possession.

 

[KingGeorge]

If we somehow nick out a win this may be our greatest Houdini act in the last five years.

Ake needs to come on at LB

That wont make any difference. Midfield is the problem. We wont create any different with Ake or Gvardiol al left back.
