Knew when I watched the training you tube that Grealish would be struggling, must be carrying an injury. he wasnt training. Not sure what the hell the formation and team was supposed to be doing. Hourihane has to play, he gives Jack the second option wide left, Lansbury gives nothing. Off the pace. Sad to think this team is going to struggle, but its looking that way now.
Grealish looked ok playing but was pretty poor overall imo.. not gonna get stupid n get all knee jerk but smith messed up today with tactics n formation..
Wesley played well again but yet again got no service, rather than take him off why not try kodja up there with him, ffs we was losing anyway so no gamble imo.
Today was the angriest I’ve been in ages watching us.
Gonna be a long season at this rate
Still 20 pts by E.O.Y the target and 2 home games coming up v Norwich & Southampton must be a min 4 pts. Im not panicking yet, wasnt expecting anything from the game but when we got the pen by VAR i thought, hang on here but then I hear Grealish is taking it even when we had Koj on the pitch. He will miss this i thought.......oh well
Sorry lads and lasses but Villa were awful today. I said to my mates at half time you were the worst team to come to come to the Lane all season. No quality in the team whatsoever and grealish looks good because he is playing with a load of dross.
You were so bad it was shocking. God knows what Smith spent all that money on. You were overhyped by the media and your own fans.
It stands out at the back because there is no quality or composure at all. This presumably has to go down to Smith and Terry
Yep we were awful, no cohesion or fluidity in our play and pass completion of 66% puts our back 4 under too much pressure. We have played some great football this season but the honeymoon is over and confidence has evaporated. I fear for us - the next two games are massive.
Was Hourihane suspended or injured?
Look, I know we were sh1te today
Credit to Sheffield United who were resolute
In all honesty they weren't much better than today's dysfunctional Villa we were devoid of spirit that's the depressing thing
As a spectacle it was a dire watch between 2 ho-hum teams
Lets leave the bragging to the end of the marathon eh Wardy. Weve come through a tough set of fixtures and we look shot. We know that but 1 game does not meam were a bad team. As long as there are 3 worst teams this season i will be happy!
Over to the league cup v Liverpool, who you lot got?
