Referee looked straight at that Porro foul and determined it wasn't a yellow. Jesus Christ. 

Half awaiting someone to claim they'll catch the goal difference.

Looks very good but needs to improve his fitness. Faded before he was taken off. A young lad like that should be able for 90 mins.

Conditioning yourself for premier league football is nothing to do with age. In fact most young players struggle. He'll get there.

I had us winning this and drawing with Brighton. Guess we will have to beat Brighton

Brentford are out bogey team, we are Brightons. Could easily happen for sure. 

Results like this can happen as well, they happen to the best sides. Our form isn't great but can be a consequence of our over performance till now. To be 4th at this stage with the amount of games we've played is something to be proud of. The wheels could be falling off due to fatigue etc but I still believe we have one last push in us. To be honest I'm more worried about our European ties which will be really tough games.

Not great but we were never going to win all our home games. We just need to get a win we didn't expect elsewhere. I still think 70/71 is the target. 

Maybe it will work out for the better. He's been poor, he can play 100% in Lille ties now and maybe he will recover his form.

Referee is dreadful for both teams.

Really liking Rogers today again, really positive going forward, tracking back well.

Tielemans is also so important Vs low blocks.

Carlos has had some good defensive moments but he does scare me. 

Struggling work out who is better value for money Cucurella or Caicedo. 

That's what 100m gets you these days. 

Just awaiting the FA to force their opposition in the last eight games to wear Villa kits to help them over the line.

No one else was looking at him once he moved to Boro. It seems only Boro were serious about buying him last summer as well. But Unai and Monchi saw something and pressed the button 5 months into his Boro contract. I think i saw something about him having a stat that showed he has huge effect on chances created when on the pitch. A bit like Jack in that he might well assist the assist or cause chaos for the opposition. Anyway, early doors still but it seems an incredible piece of business.  Especially as it seems he will be able to play as a striker,   number 10   and maybe as an 8 . He will also be a huge asset defending corners once he gets more defensive nous. Very smart business 

I think Unai said his skillset really caught his eye when analysing Boro for the FA Cup game. 

They'll still win their last 8 games... It's the great Manchester United

Cole Palmer always makes me think he's off Superbad. 

Martinez decided to have the night off after seeing the team

Torres must not 100% over his injury. Probably protecting Bailey too. 

I've seen KDB cone off the bench too many times and cause absolute havoc.

I've got us with eight points. 

L, D, L, W, W, D.

Slightly pessimistic perhaps, but that's the Villa fear kicking in!

Fair and realistic imo and wouldn't be the end of the world. 

Said in another thread but we're regularly keeping an eye on Leif Davis according to an Ipswich fan, but so are Newcastle and I believe he's a boyhood fan. 

They are signing Lewis Hall on a permanent though. 

Davis has had a great year but for the fullback positions I hope we go with a better defensive option. 

Just how they play/are could easily see Spurs losing to Forest but then beating Arsenal and City. 

Paqueta is such a good player, can see why Man City want him. 

They're the English Benfica/Porto when it comes to profit on player sales

We're actually actively scouting Davis. Think he might end up at Newcastle though as think he's a fan. 

1-0 down again.
