I'd probably recommend taking the point of view that we're ****!

He was nowhere near Long for Southampton's opener. It was basic defending. He was great against Leicester in the cup though, so hopefully, if he plays this weekend, he's somehow amazing.

This Brighton game you talk about isn't a good one to support your point. We were awful against 11 men and we dominated against 10 men (they did get some counter-attack chances though). The word disgraceful is hyperbole anyway. Your prejudice would be less obvious if you toned it down a bit. That's not me defending anything, just suggesting that using ott words undermines things. I ultimately agree that it's a shame that we didn't manage to capitalise on a lot of those opportunities. How we could have done with those points now—but as has been pointed out in another thread, those teams are full of expensive players and have had years upon years of constant investment in maintaining Premier League quality. Playing against ten men against good teams is often, as we all know if we take off our angry glasses, a challenge—especially when you are one of the weakest teams in the league. For example, Arsenal have players on another level of quality to 90% of our team—in fact, they all do. So, yeah, it's not disgraceful, but it's a massive **** shame we couldn't get more from those games. I wish we had more points so much—I'm feeling pretty pessimistic about our chances.

I really disagree with this. You know Drinkwater is there, and he wants the ball.

He's one of our two best fit CMs. I'm actually surprised at the hate on here—I thought he was OK on Sunday. He got badly outpaced one time for sure, but who was that against? His calmness is on another level to Nakamba's.

To be fair to Spurs they have very dangerous and quick wingers. It's their strength. I'm not sure a DM could have done much to stop them there (apart from obviously hassling away some through balls).

Jack has stats better this season than some of the best players in the world—and he's doing it in the Prem at a struggling team. I think you're being negative for no reason.

Haha this genuinely always seems to be the way. **** sake, let's just get a win.

Ha ok.

Your obsession with Davis is weird.

I'm sure there are loads of us doing it. It's nice to get behind more effective teams for a change

Nah it's just been Nick no here for a week telling everyone Davis can't score.

I have similar concerns. Other teams have taken points off top-half teams and we're going to have to start doing it ourselves now. It is a tragedy we gave Bomo 6 points. They didn't deserve it either (based on the first game and Heaton's moment of utter madness). We need to play like we played against Leicester in the cup in every game now.

Once again **** Real Madrid. No Jack. If you see someone in Madrid who looks like a dick it's guaranteed they're a Real supporter. Because they're a dickhead club. The stadium is literally named after one of Franco's favourite fascists.

We are missing McGinn to be fair. I think back to when we were linked to Kalvin Phillips—I think we would have been in a much better position with him. I agree that the inexperience at CM has put us in a bit of a bleak position. Nakamba and Luiz have both had good games, but they're inconsistent.

Lol. Ok take the thread again mate. It's alllll yours.

We're a better team when he plays. That's been true since he first came through.

Play him and give him a new contract. He's got a big future at the club.

My Spanish friend says he's genuinely good. He has more prem experience than our other strikers too. Who knows how it'll pan out but he may be a bit of a surprise.

Aka the conspiracy thread.

I think I've read your posts on facebook (this is a joke).

She spoke garbage?

Do you think maybe that they didn't leave it to the last minute?

That newsnow guy is worse!

Not aimed at you but does anyone know an app that would notify a person when there is actual transfer news? I'm not saying official signings. If only Villareport had an app. Oh, or is there something I can do on Twitter? I can deal with a couple of tweets of bullshit. It's better than refreshing villatalk all day.
