Surely we're the first team ever to concede 5 goals in both their first and last games of a Premier League season?

Disappointing for sure and if the ref hadn't bottled the Anderson handball things might have been different but in the end the last drop of fuel ran out at the start of the second half.

Happy to pretend this game never happened and move on to thinking about next season.

I see Ayew has the inverted mohawk going on these days 

Not sure why Olsen is yelling at the defence. Seems pretty pointless today.

That's so poor from Doug. 

At least a bit of a change.

Thanks for everything Callum. Time to move on now.

Geez Ollie will be ropeable

I worry for Konsa's England spot at this rate

Well Olsen's reached his usual quota of 3 conceded

We're not getting anything from this game against 12 men

Never a pen IMO but they get given for certain teams 

Wonder if Emery Jr's gonna be like "FFS dad sit down, you're embarassing me"

Provided some absolutely crucial assists early in the season. Definitely lost form in the last 4 weeks or so, but given his age and workload not surprising. 

Definitely seems very fond of the club and the team.

The bitterness is crazy. They all seem convinced we have breached FFP.

I'm sure the tired old Hawkeye thing is getting a good workout too.

Olsen and Cash the only positives in that performance. It was a very soft penalty but Konsa absolutely shit the bed and gave the ref a decision to make. 

Unai really needs to throw some kids into the mix to give us a bit of energy. We're absolutely punch drunk at the moment.

We get what we deserve here

I think they'll come out and give us the high press for the first 15 minutes of the half. We'll either wilt or get in behind them for a goal.

Jesus we just keep coming up with new ways of **** it up for ourselves

FFS shoot!

Digne is just a turnover merchant at the moment

Sloppy in midfield so far

The Martinez family - supposedly

Pretty poor if they're leaking team news like this.

The media will lose their minds if we lose and Spurs win today too. 

As will 90% of Villa supporters

Very disappointed with that display. Just gave the ball away far too easily going forward and just had no energy or fight after their third goal. 

Thought Digne was possibly our worst player, but he had some competition that's for sure. 

Definitely staggering towards the end of the season and need a boost from somewhere. Hopefully Brighton will oblige.
