Pen. pending VAR

Red card for Lamptey. Too late.

Jesus we've been disastrous after equalizing. We were never winning this game.

Jesus Trez. Couldn't score in a brothel today.

Back to last season this. El Ghazi one side, Trez the other, Grealish trying to do it himself but they have men on him. 

Which just underlines how disappointing Watkins has been.

Still feel like we’ll get at least a draw here.

I don't, but I hope you're right!

Yeah get him off. Wasteman.

Why is there always such an extreme reaction?

We laud Jack with praise, rightly so, when he plays a blinder.

If he has a rare stinker, it's still valid to acknowledge that? Surely.

Yes there are mitigating circumstances - he's played 3 games in a row for England and yes he's entitled to a bad game every now and then. It doesn't mean he's not having one, or that people are having a pop. It's called having eyes.

I'm gonna say it. Grealish has been shite today.

Why the **** do we keep crossing to an area of the box with no bodies and no runners into the back post?

Virtually pointless.

Traore going off. Weird

He looks wrecked in fairness. Don't think he's played a full 90 yet?

Jack asking for trouble there

does that word removed traore have right foot. **** useless pile of shit keeps trying to cut back in

Unnecessarily harsh. He's been a bright spark for us today, even if you think he's not brilliant he's not been a useless pile of shit. Or did you miss his assist for our goal?

These crosses would be great it we had Crouch up top and our main striker wasn't the one crossing the **** ball.

Watkins and Traoré seem to be swapping in and out. I'm not sure it's working!

Just now, Davkaus said:

We have almost nothing in our locker against teams that let us have the ball. We want to be playing like Brighton are, and just can't break a team down. 

I can't help but agree with this, and it's daft when you consider we have arguably the most technically gifted player to grace a Villa shirt since the early '80s.

Watkins really poor.

We look dangerous when we get forward and then it just doesn't fall right or we don't take our chance. Frustrating.

Luiz showing that we have nobody capable of doing what March did to us.

**** me what a goal.

Ty is sus today.

Went for a piss and missed it hahahaha

I have to laugh at the calls for Conor instead of McGinn, like he is the footballing reincarnation of Rui Costa. He's benched for a reason. Memories of **** goldfish here.

Your straw man is a bit obvious here - nobody has compared him to Rui Costa or even close.

He gives us a set piece threat, whereas McGinn is giving us nothing at all at the moment.

Just now, PieFacE said:

Why was Mings so high up the pitch for their throw in? 

He does need a rollicking from the manager for that one, so it doesn't happen again. Smith seems too nice to go in hard on someone like Ty though.

Barkley out has been huge. 

I don't really think that it has. He's only really kicked into gear for us when we've been ahead, he starts most games slow, so I can't see him having given us much out there that Traoré hasn't given us so far.

Mcginn seems really off.

He has games like this in him. It's very frustrating. I'd honestly consider bringing on Hourihane, we're not losing much in sacrificing John here, and Conor gives us a set piece threat.
