Obviously offside

Who?

How is that not offside, 3 off and one of them scores

Not the same phase of play sadly

Clearly Not offside

Cash out of position 

Absolute rubbish. Cash and Bailey awful

I’m still hoping Emery can get Coutinho playing.  What an asset he’d be if we could give him a bit of confidence

I think that’s harsh!  A 24 year old being offered double the money we are offering apparently plus not having to pay tax on that money there but would in the UK.  I don’t think it’s a no brainer personally.  Additionally for us if he does choose us then we know he’s here for the football and to succeed so it’s a test that favours us in understanding him. 

No. For an ambitious 24y-o looking to an international career, the Saudi League is completely the wrong choice - no debate

If there is any truth that he has a tough decision about us or Saudi I’d rather move on straight away - for a young, ambitious player it should be a complete no-brainer 

Why aren’t we seeing after match comment from VP? Why is Everton on four Sky channels

All Villa - unlucky to conceded from corner

Emery will adjust and put this right second half

Traore struggling 

Someone needs to get a hold of Duran - very promising but I’ve never seen a player moan and wave his arms more

Bad performance today

Young, Konsa, Cash, Dendonker, Bailey, Ings, Watkins all very poor

Female commentator really enjoying the game

I honestly don’t think I’ve ever heard a more biased commentary team. Quite unbelievable

Not happy with that - Mitrovic initiated  that. Luis was stupid to get involved but got sent off cos he’s six inches shorter

The same guy has been unmarked at the edge of the box at five corners

The manager and coaching staff should be going ballistic but the players too should know that - it’s basics

McGinn a waste of space. Bailey looks half fit

Gerrards got to go

Watkins tries hard enough but he just hasn’t got it has he

Ings had it but has lost it

I think the Mings/McGinn captaincy swap has seriously damaged this season. Such a stupid error of judgement and completely unnecessary.  

Unbelievable error of judgement. He should go just for this. Mings is absolute captain material and McGinn is absolutely not. How can a football professional not see that

I’m usually one to give the manager time, but enough is enough - we need some new ideas

"When an immediate goalscoring opportunity is likely to occur, the assistant referee will keep their flag down if they think there is an offside until the passage of play is completed."  Unless that would help Aston Villa. The FA Premier League website.

The interpretation of the rules currently require the linesman to flag if the immediate goal-scoring opportunity has gone and he is clear that the player is offside. He thought a new phase of play had begun when Coutinho came back onto the ball and around the defenders and put his flag up

I think his error was that he believes Ramsey has passed to Coutinho 

A bigger error for me was the first half incident with Konza - definitely no foul on the keeper - ref was far too quick on the whistle - let VAR sort it out

If we can build on this now I think was can work our way up to where we believe we should be

Terrible. As bad a performance as I can remember 

Gerrard seems to have no clue. ( Minor in our woes, but taking the captaincy off Mings was a massive own goal. Mings disgruntled and McGinn no captain )

We need at least three new quality players in

We are a bottom half team, possibly a relegation zone team!

Again, I watch us and just don't see what's suddenly going to click and turn us into a top half consistent side. 

I think we've had some moments but fortunate to not be losing. 

I don’t think we have the players to be a consistent top half side - we’re three (or with Carlos missing four) short of where we need to be

Need CB, Mid and Striker needed

SG not impressing but I don’t think anyone will bring us top half with current squad

We absolutely can blame him

So you’re saying this is Gerrards fault? Nothing to do with poor performances all over the pitch?

Can’t blame SG  - we’re massively lightweight - we need reinforcements in all areas, 3 new faces minimum
