Emi Cash Chambers Mings Digne Kamara Bissouma Buendia Coutinho Ramsay Ings / ????? That would be a lot better than this year.....get it done Villa

The moment Buendia is beaten there are 7 villa players in the box to 3 city players. Theres no need for Mcginn to be back too....Correct Buendia does get beaten easily...agreed. I would post a pic but the size is too big??? He does follow Gundogan.....but theres no need.....Chambers could have picked him up that....maybe thats an issue....but he starts where ultimately Rhodri scores....he's given him the space. Not wanting to argue...its been a problem for a while...not just him....but he is one of the ones that does it on a regular basis....we have a massive problem with dropping back and allowing shots and goals from the edge of the box to free players...leicester goals off the top of head.

The 2nd was more down to typical villa defending.....drop deep and forget the edge of the box. There were 6 villa players all behind the penalty spot when the shot came in from the edge. Most of the goals we have conceded this year have looked like this. Luiz is the deepest....crazy positioning

Playing on a Thursday didn't cost us this game. Roy keane just summed it up...villa have a soft underbelly and have done for years....well before Gerrard came in. City were alway going to win....we a charity team...yes we went two up...but deep down we all knew what would happen. I think the subs show what the real problem is...the players are not good enough...again....same players....same results for three years. Big Sumner ahead

Agent luiz just stop and watched the city player pick it up....mings did well

Having read the chat the past couple of hours there is definitely a divide with Gerrard being our manager. Some using his Liverpool links as a negative....some as a positive. I am too disappointed in finishing 14th, considering the gap to Wolves in 8th is only two wins. I think, like last season when we went on a bad run from Jan and slipped down the table, its been another year of missed opportunities.....finish top half...maybe a european place. If we are to blame or point the finger at anyone its everyone.....Gerrard has made mistakes....yes he has....subs.....starting 11.....maybe shape in some games.......BUT at the same time the players ultimately have to take responsibility.....I have looked back at some of the misses.....the endless giving the ball away...not making a 10 yard passes...is Gerrard at fault for that....no. For me, the season was over the moment Smith left and Gerrard came in....only in sense it would be another season of transition....both players and manager finding their feet. There have been some good moments....some good periods of play and at the same day....some absolute shockers....some of the youth coming through. So....we are where we are...midtable...couple of points...top half 10th. Gerrard needs a summer to bring in his players and install his methods in to all the players....if it doesnt work then its on his head....he inherited a team that wasnt his and if honest....some players not up to the standard of top half of the league. 14th is disappointing...but I watched te game last night and I didnt think....s$%t...we are going to struggle again next season...there is something there to build on...a starter for 10....with a good summer....with better players (hopefully) coming in.....then we can then judge both team and manager. UTV

Thought the same too. Said it before...drops too deep....doesnt show in the middle. Especially as we play three. Would love to see him make an angle for a pass from the back and get on the half turn...drive forward....but can't see it

Funny what happens when you make a run and have a bit of movement..#justsaying

Here's something I've noticed lately. Why do we always have 10 back for corners and freekicks. Who will.pick up the ball if we win it and by some chance can make a pass

As per the commentary...villa...slow...lack of spark. Like watching a training game. If I was burnley now...id let us have ball...best tactic to win the game....we do nothing with it and more likely to cough it up

Burnley....we will sit back...and wait for the cross. Villa...we will keep going wide and keep crossing Need to move the ball quick and play more central

the problem with our midfield is not the player...it maybe. The main issue is numbers...and thats 3. Only two teams play three in midfield and are successful and thats City and Liverpool We have no width because we have no one to get out there....when we do we have no one in the middle for cover. Need 5 in the middle...if that dont work..then you change the personal. Ive been saying it for years three for leaves us open...and narrow.....i would love to be a winger against us.....at times I could take a seat the nearest player is that far away. As someone said....yes we can play some nice tiki taka...because those three are often close too each other, the moment the game expands thats where we struggle...how many times does the ball get out wide...a player is isolated and surrounded....why....the midfield have too much ground to make up. Luiz sits in front of the back four...so now you have two doing all the work getting out wide and trying to attack....its a number thing...get more bods in the middle and go from there.

Interesting....in what way. I watched a team back off and give the ball away at every convenience....lack of ideas until.the 85th minute and then decided to play a bit better Each player had moments of good but overall Liverpool.never got out of 2nd gear. Agree the ref was a prick...shocking

Be interesting to know how many tackles Liverpool have made to win the ball compared to how many times we have just given it away. Untill we can keep the ball better...its always going to tough. And why does every winger in the league get our nearest defender in a different post code and ours get mobbed before they even get the ball???

We give the ball away so easily Luiz this time and get punished. Was it a good header...yes... But again konsa going to a default position on the 6 yard box not marking the attacker. Poor defending

Some good touches but that's it. Don't get the hype. People say he should play further but based on what....I struggle to see this. Was at fault for the 4th goal....didnt track the runner....came out to son...who konsa already had.

One of worse games. When you get off to bad a start...sometimes when you try to correct it you just make more mistakes. In the match thread he got a pasting for all four goals. Three yes...but the forth was Luiz having a brain fart and not picking up.the runner and came running in to son who konsa had forced to the touch line

Totally disagree Luiz tracks the runner. Son will pass it back... Konsa was doing alright

As much as konsa has had a poor game. Luiz was to blame for the forth. Son was occupied with konsa I think....he comes rushing in stead of tracking the runner. One pass....takes two out. Poor

Well done luiz.....headless chicken Why go out to the wing....already covered

Poor defending....back line all over the shop. Midfield bypassed by one pass. Shocking

Knew it ffs

Apart from the fubar moment in first three minutes we have played well. However, those missed chances will come.back to bite us. Let's hope they don't but knowing villa...spurs will get one sniff and it's game over

Could marinez helped...little flick backwards Could konsa bring it down and volley it to row z Could Luiz read it better instead of being static Either one would have been better...poor from konsa....poor from the rest... No footballing intelligence shown by many villa players there

be great to see the drawings when they come out. I think the new 'North Stand' will be something like Newcastle's St James'.....three tier linked with Trinity Road.....corporate boxes in the middle.....and stick the away fans up in the top corner. We are very away fan friendly......Its the first thing you see when you walk out the tunnel....psychological thing. ..most away fans are either up in the gods or the furthest away when you walk out.....get the villa fans in each lower tier.....create a more intimidating atmosphere
