Our quality got us the draw. Tactics not so much. Way to open, played right into Bielsa's hands. Still not a fan of this super narrow formation. How do you only have 39% possession when every player never leaves the center 3rd. 

by having thick players who panic and boot it all over the place, and other players who panic and cant pass the ball 5 yards without looking like they have seen a ghost.

one of the few players clearly good enough for where we want to be.

not gonna lie, if i were him tonight, and Young got on in front of me, i would be thinking my time here is over.

I hope it isnt, but thats what i would be thinking.

the problem with Mings, is he is an extremely erratic performer imo.

Sometimes he's a 9 or 10 out of 10, sometimes he's a 4 or 5 out of 10.

If he is going to improve, he needs to flatten the performance curve of huge up and down swings, to be at least a very regular 7/10, with limited swing towards the negative end.

He is a good player, but he has too many peaks and troughs in performances to be a consistent player, and at this level the troughs are punished, hopefully he can find a way to be a bit more.....consistent.

And before anyone says anything, Konsa was cr*p too, and Watkins, both more so than Mings tbh i think.

Just a bit of cramp apparently. He’ll be fine. It’s Buendia that could possibly be a doubt for the weekend.

thanks the lord!

Where was this mentioned?

to be brutally honest, of our senior players, i really only see 5 of them as good enough for a nailed on spot in the starting 11, if we really want to push for top 6/8.

Martinez, Digne, Ramsey, Coutinho & Buendia.

Im not saying others arent good enough for squad places, or to compete for places, but for me, they are the only players genuinely "good enough" to be in a starting 11 if we want to really push up the table.

He's never been a great finisher, but he always, always bust a gut for every ball, closed people down, showed for a pass and held up the ball really well. He hasn't done anything near that this year. He doesn't run, he jogs. 

He needs to cone out of the starting 11 but i think that will make him sulk more

dont give a flying f*** if he sulks.

He's playing really.....really....really sh**.

100% needs to be dropped.

my missus said..."ooooh you are 3-1 up..."

I said...."yeah dont worry we can find a way to f*** it up and concede two, no problem at all, it'll be classic Villa".

Is it more sickening that it happened, or more sickening that you can see it coming from a mile off?

We have some seriously brain dead / weak minded players.

Hopefully Gerrard knows exactly who needs replacing, cus tbh, its a few of em.

what a shock, he isnt a DM.

tbh i also think he's just a bang average midfielder.

so thats 2 goals, and 2 assists in 3 games isnt it?

please be ok

please be ok

If i were Ings, sitting on the sidelines watching the car crash that is Watkins, i wouldnt know whether to be angry, or if i just sit there in bemused shock and how the plank of wood is playing over me.

simply not good enough.

I have no idea how this waste of space is playing over Ings.

Watkins must have something career ending on Gerrard, cus oh my lord, a wooden post would be able to control the ball better.

Mings, Konsa & Watkins arent good enough and need to be replaced.

Watkins must have something career ending on Gerrard, to get starts with his consistently poor play/form.

We need a DM (SHOCK HORROR!!).

Well that three week break did us the world of good.

"mini pre season" they said.

"prepare for the second half of the season push", they said.

"the break will allow us to learn to play together", they said.

we have some really s*** brain players.

Yet again under Gerrard only play well in one half. We barely even managed that today it was about 20 minutes. 

its not just Gerrard mate, we have been like this for a long....long time.

Coutinho off for Young, looks like we are playing for the draw

why not Sanson!?!?

amazing to think Leeds dont have 2 of their best 3 players available.

Some of our players just arent good enough...at all.

Just now, Farlz said:

Konsa is absolutely nowhere near as good as we make him out to be. 

i dont think either Mings or Konsa are good enough if we want to progress tbh.
