Well we lasted almost 180 seconds before conceding

What the fcuk El Ghazi was doing on the pitch in the first place only Allah knows ! gets booked, tempts fate by hacking another player down follows this with his pièce de résistance throwing himself to the floor …. in fairness he did launch a couple of exploratory projectiles into hyper space

Has Smith had “morphed” into Steve Bruce throwing on Archer, Davies & hoping for some miracle (in the shape of a long throw) falling our way, thus masking yet another inept performance

If he wants players chasing aimlessly around after the ball he might care to cast an eye over my dog I can testify to his ball retention skills ...different level to those currently being displayed by any Villa player !

Sadly I anticipate Villa will announce Deano’s on gardening leave soon , especially in view of how swiftly Purslow instigated the disposal of the far more astute Rafa Benítez
