nokesy

The inevitable confirmed then. We need 1 of 2 things urgently, a new right back to replace cash or play konsa there and buy a new centre back, one that can be a leader and command the back line. I don’t see that in Pau

I was thinking the same, if anything the rumours of him being injured could be true but seems too soon to know if it’s serious

It was but players like Nakamba and Conor failed to shine against lowly opposition, you can tell this lad has something

Buendia doesn’t look very good so far, maybe he needs to play on the right

If Watkins is out it will probably be this Martinez Cash Konsa Mings Targett Nakamba Mcginn traore Buendia Elghazi/young Ings 0-2 Villa

Something tells me Villa have ran out of patience which is why we have gone for Traore instead. Hope I’m wrong

That was a disgraceful half of football by Villa. I wouldn’t be against a triple substitution at half time with nakamba elmo and Conor coming off for drinkwater trez and el ghazi and play grealish in the middle. But instead we will see nothing for 20 minutes until we’re 2 0 down when he will swap samatta for Davis

Which they nearly scored, again

A step forward from Southampton yes most definitely but we could have done more today after keeping it within one goal I expect a little more drive in an attacking sense

I have to agree with this, I didn’t see much of a fight and we only ever looked adventurous when it was too late with minutes to go. Were 1 goal down in a final and we allowed city to spray it around like they were in a pre season training camp.

Should have gone 2 up top. Why take Samatta off? He’s so clueless

Can’t blame other results were second from bottom because that’s where we deserve to be

The teams around us ability to take points from the ‘top’ teams once again proving why we’re dead certs to go down. We have taken 1 point all season from the top 10

**** it, didn’t sack Smith In December and now we are Paying the price. Anyone who thinks we have a glimmer of hope of staying up must have started watching football yesterday

They won’t be below us for much longer
