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

Depending on when the pictures were taken on the official site regards training (Beundia in those pics) & then if he has had an injury the time it takes to determine wether he has a ACL Injury. Didn't Walsh for England at the wemons World Cup was determined not to be a ACL & that took a fair few days & Diego Carlos last season that was well over a week if I remember right to determine the injury. May have picked up an injury but I'm calling bullshit that it's season ending one 

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

Just to piddle on everyone's collective bonfire.... He was up against Barrow.

He played great and looks a real talent but the performance he, and the team, put in was against very lowly opposition.

 

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

I think we didn’t have a lot of choice about ‘allowing’ them to do this because they are arguably the very best players in the whole world. We can all agree we want more fight in the league but there probably isn’t a team in our entire illustrious history as good as this City team. Sometimes you have to just suck it up and stay compact - we did that well today, which is a step forward on recent weeks.

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

We must have watched a different game.

To me it felt like a training game for City. Them playing in 1st gear.

Felt like the whole game was played in our half. We barely had any attempts and just kicked the ball away wherever we got hold of it.

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

How bad must the teams below us be? 

They won’t be below us for much longer 

We are going down, absolutely atrocious. We are really really poor. Even grealish has given up now, see ya back in the championship 

Wow 

If we never bought 3 championship centre backs in the summer we would have stayed in this league comfortably. We played some excellent stuff in that first half and looked a very good football team. But you can’t win games with defenders like that 

didn’t expect such a shockingly bad performance after such a positive couple of weeks, but that’s villa in a nutshell. If we can’t beat Bournemouth or even look remotely threatening against their 10 men we really are doomed. We need 5 wins and have lost our first winnable game. Relegation very likely

Strange thing is, we actually did very much take it to Liverpool, United and Arsenal this season. Unlucky in all 3 IMO. I think we just lost some confidence in those.

Not really sure we did, I think we nicked an early goal and tried to defend it for 70 minutes. Perhaps we need to go for a second more often if we get in those situations 

We need to start taking the game to these so called bigger teams because everyone around us seems to be doing it. Are we the only team to lose every game against the top 10?

They've still got a game in hand though bud...

Isn’t it against Liverpool? 
 

anyway all going well tonight just need Man U to stop being shit 

Manchester United really are shit these days 

West Ham pulled one back with a penalty ffs 

Serves you right you time wasting bastards. Gave Konsa MOTM for scoring what could be the most important goal of the season
