Why didn’t Smith change it at 20 mins?
Valid point

Ah villa being a crap team, hello old friend

Pathetic finish to the game, wolves deserved it.

Dougie is well and truly back, immense today. That pass against Everton to cash was poetic. So glad he's still here.

This is the second league game in a row I’ve been prevented from watching. I have no idea when the last time that happened was. It’s a long time ago anyway.
If I were just slightly supersticious, I’d be making other plans for next Sunday about now
Very proud of the boys and very pleased with how far we’ve come as a club.
Please stop watching pal. Take one for the team

Backed United to miss a penalty at 8/1, this is a **** magic day. I love villa so much it sometimes hurts.

The recent dark days make days like today extra special.
Well done lads, team to be proud of.

Would never have asked for it but very pleased it's happened, welcome back Ashley.
Great pro to have around, can only have a positive influence on the group. Born winner.

First time on the ball when he came on passed it to man City, they broke and nearly scored.
2nd attempt at a pass, same again.
He gave the ball away several times in the time he was on the pitch including stupid attempts at a flick straight to a man City player.
He is not the same player who started the season, he has given up on the season, that is crystal clear and has been for the last 15 or more games he's,been involved in.
Coincidence the 2 games we've won he didn't get on the pitch ?
I'm not a barkley fan boy boy any stretch but I genuinely thought he made a positive impact tonight. Getting disposed by city is quite a simple thing to achieve especially when teammates don't seem to want to receive the ball.
I thought he at least looked to receive the ball and make forward passes to teammates without just hoofing it forwards.
I'm judging the game in itself not based off the whole season. He's been abysmal in most appearances since he's come back I agree with that.

Agreed with everything you said except I thought barkley was genuinely decent tonight for a change. He tried to get on the ball and make things happen and other than one poor pass down the left wing his passing was good, more than can be said for some others.

What a poor decision out of cash, he was excellent up until that point, tonight and for the whole season.
Barkely played well when he came on, glad to see it and hopefully he'll kick on.
Luiz was OK some decent passing at times but miles off what we know he can do.
Not a bad performance but not a great one either, man City have a great way of strangling opponents once the go ahead.

His goal scoring is record is frustrating, but it was a fine assist from him.
He does things, some folk can take for granted....whereas some players, who escape under the radar, don't do it.
I saw some of our players, easily brushed aside today....Keinan at least doesn't allow that.
Excellent point. He's clearly got the strength and technical ability. Maybe a run of games and the confidence that brings could propel him.

He is quick and strong. Good on both feet. Can't see a reason to why he can't do a job wide.
Interesting, I'd view him solely as target man in a front two. And as everyone have said I don't think there'd be a more popular lad to make it at villa. He's been very unlucky with chances in the brief appearances he's gotten. Fingers crossed he'll be part of the setup going forwards.

Excellent substitutions, fair play to trezeguet and keinan.
Very disappointed with with how much Luiz has regressed since last season and early this season. Looks he's he's just going through the motions although to be fair he doesn't seem to be getting support from teammates, not being given a simple option a lot of the time.

Hate being critical of Martinez who's been immense this season but he was very poor for goal 2 and 3 and suspect for the first, didn't cover himself in glory against Burnley too.
Barkley was awful, really disappointed in how poor he was again. Nothing positive to say about that display.
Fair play to West ham they completely out worked us tonight, very similar to the Burnley second half i thought.

Burnley are a tricky outfit who have more success generally against the bigger teams. Fair play to them they out fought us second half.
Thought we looked a bit arrogant second half if I'm being honest, trying to carry the ball past Burnley players like they weren't there. Say what you like about them but they can all throw a tackle in. Needed to be more street smart in that second half.
As much as I appreciate what a good footballer barkley is going forwards he doesn't offer a lot when we're on the back foot same with traore, lovely to watch going forwards but having both in the same team is dangerous.

Burnley did exactly what they're good at second half, stifled us, caused us plenty of problems, got lucky.
Our heavy pressing that's served us so well so far actually worked against us 2nd half. Starting to see why pep has reduced his pressing tactics this season, leaves you exposed to the likes of Burnley.
Although on another night we're out of sight at half time.

My god Newcastle must be a depressing team to follow.

No they checked it and deemed it fair! The ex-referee said the goal shouldn't have stood.
That's mind-boggling sir

John Moss can be a crap as he likes for offsides, we now have a system to correct these mistakes.
I'm perplexed why var didn't reverse it, was there a breakdown in communication?

Watched the slow mo replay of penalty and Luiz leg moves sideways into Pogba trailing leg and causes him to trip himself so soft but can accept is penalty
Or in other words pogbas trailing leg hit Luizis leg. What's your point?
Not trying to be argumentitive but Luiz had more legitimate claim for a foul than that word removed

Players were immense, gave everything. Horrible feeling after that injustice but proud of the players. That's a character building game, nothing like a healthy dose of injustice to spur a group on.

Hilarious the outrage over grealish leaving in the summer when some of the same people are quick to call for deans head after a bad 5 games.
