Absolutely classic Aston Villa

Absolutely classic Villa. People desperate for Buendia to start too

Obviously

Carney for Ings early 2nd half

Astonishing. We've been all over them playing well. What on earth is wrong with you?

That wasn't a foul

I still have no idea what formation we're playing

How many corners have we had?

We have been? What game are you watching?

Buendia normally nails those

A draw means even more to them now. If they get a point in next game and Everton lose to Arsenal they stay up

No space for Watkins to get into the game at all

They're very defensively good

Palace winning 2-0 so 12th best we can end now

Would be classic Villa

We're playing well

Luiz is dropping inbetween the CBs a lot to play out as a 3 it seems

That could be a card surely

Cornet is is a quality player

I think Carney and JJ bring a couple of tall players with a bit of strength. Burnley know a point is what they need tonight

Carney and Buendia in the 10 roles. Not bad

Hopefully it'll be 6th best if we can keep a clean sheet today and Palace don't. Wolves are in 5th and if they take a big beating to Liverpool and we lose 1-0 or so to City we could be 5th best.

What does this mean? He's not the one on the pitch playing. On Buendia (or insert any player who isn't playing at various points during the season) the guy not playing is ALWAYS the answer to all problems. Ings when Watkins was not scoring. Nakamba when he was out injured. Sanson for McGinn. Targett for Digne. It's simply ridiculous to expect a manager to do much with one January window and no preseason. Gerrard has got us 7th best defence and 8th best attack since he joined. A win today has us in 8th in the points table since he took over 4 points behind Newcastle. We've lost all bar 1 game (Spurs) by more than one goal.

We have the 7th best defensive record in the League since Gerrard took over and it would be better if we had a proper CDM and Konsa hadn't had as poor a season as he's had.

We can only dream of getting a player like him. He's far too good for us. He'd have lots of Champions League clubs interested.
