Looked like they thought they just needed to show up to win very poor performance a lot of back up players nowhere near the level required 

He just seems very nervous with ball at his feet  which makes everyone else nervous when he has it he takes way to long to pass the ball what he waiting for 

Just as it looks like where putting a squad together to challenge for a trophy 2 ACL injuries in few days anytime we seem to be moving forward something goes wrong we take  astep backwards are we destined to never win a trophy again seriously how many finals we lost since we won  one feels like I might never get to see us win anything again

We need to move him on IMO not good enough if saudis offered 25 snap there hand off all he does is put crosses in from anywhere on the left-side moreno has been such a loss to how we played last season 

Have to say never been as excited to be villa fan we have finally got a top top manager in and a ambitious board who seem ro only have one best interests at heart with a few shrewed signing in the summer I think there's no limit to what we can achieve under Unai Emery the impact he's had has been unreal full pre season behind who knows could be a magic season  long wait for a trophy could be over I was 12 when we beat Leeds

Kane and son vs that high line

Lambs to the slaughter

Would you rather us camped on edge of our own box trying to counter going be mistakes a long the way tilm he gets it right but signs are there . Probably thought the same playing Liverpool we actually gave them a game unlucky in the end not to get something 

Went toe to toe second half with a really top side no shame in losing like that such an improvement already we actually look like a team onwards and upwards 

If we want to change our style play out from back mistakes are going happen it will take time , better than just launching it up the pitch u can see the difference already after 2 games what a good coach can do we actually look like a team now onwards and upwards 

If we got Poch it would be unbelievable tbh we definitely have a squad capable of challenging the best of the rest outside big6 going nowhere under Gerrard, Beale was obviously the brains of the 2 

Apparently he's 2 games to save himself this one and Brentford has to win both or he's gone 

Great performance players still playing for manager on that showing

If Hause does well I'm the championship he might gain value and we might sell him for a half decent price. Bednarek covers for that short term, might be a better player (haven't seen enough to tell), and come the summer we will be able to assess how he fits in and how Diego Carlo is doing fitness wise.

I can see the logic. Hopefully it also works out.

Southampton didn't want him so we are now taking their rejects 

Bit odd loan out hause take bednarek on loan rather hause tbh 

Could be a good signing we need someone in there that will put there foot in  and let teams know there in for a battle too many nice players in there at the moment I'd put him beside kamara in a 4231 

We actually have a good record at the Emirates that's the only positive thing I can think of before the game

4 max, although I don't believe Arsenal or Man City are free rides. He'll be needing results from anywhere.

Hopefully only 2 more needs to be replaced ASAP 

How many more games will he get if they don't act fast we could be on our way back to the championship 

If where in trouble in April last 5 games bit of a nightmare

We've been crap for 12 years apart from an unbeaten run in the championship 

So true

Interesting article basically saying Gérard is nothing without Beale  Who will get chop first? Frank Lampard, Brendan Rodgers and Steven Gerrard feeling the heat as sack race begins

Think we need to change from a 3 in there 4231 I'd give nakamba another go with kamara as the 2 holding we would be much more solid

Gerrards not a good manager that’s the issue 

True story

This is definitely our most balanced midfield with Ramsey rotating for Luiz/Sanson

Sadly our manager is a clown

Maybe change it to 4231 or even 352 try something different if it ain't  working that's what good managers do find a system to fit players

Make Konsa in the starting XI make sense?

Balance from starting midfield three is miles off it.  Start Luiz and bench one of Ramsey or McGinn until we show some solidity off the ball and retain the thing when we have it. 

Hard to see the manager improving things.

Might take a cabbage to Bolton.

I go with nakamba and kamara in a 4231 need to be a lot more solid we are so open when we lose the ball high up the pitch

Need a Central Midfielder and Central defender. Buy a winger for £25m. We don't have a transfer plan anymore do we. 

100% agree need someone in the middle to control games we give the ball away so much
