Disappointingly it’s been like it since minute 1 and no changes from us, more energy from them all game

Barkley a great player but he's not that good in a game like this , Douglas has been ok and McGinn , think we was out thought but this game is very similar to the wolves game other than Leeds finding a bit of luck .If we finish above them this year then I will be happy .

Can't understand any of this.

McGinn and Barkley have had dire second halves, but it was clear from the start Barkley wasn't anywhere near 100%. So wtf is he still doing on the pitch in the 79th minute? 

I get it, our midfield depth isn't great, but we're drowning.

Traoré has done literally nothing since coming on - 17m, really? Been no better than Trez, arguably worse.

Mings has been shite, what happened to the powerhouse from our first 4 fixtures? It's only been a week since Leicester, he's so far off those levels already.

Grealish has been marked out of it after his ball cleared off the line earlier. Only a tactical change can open that up again, but Smith and co. have done nothing to address it.

None of it is logical game management. Smith seems so smart with his pre-match prep, but when the game plan doesn't work he's got nothing. Literally nothing. It's like the second coming of Martin O'Neill, but even he would switch the wingers to challenge the full backs a bit.

**** disaster tonight.

Traore hasn't had the ball to do something, Ditto Grealish,

They could have had even more to be fair... not sure what you mean

It's probably us it flatters

Couldve been 2-0 to us and we have been poor so not sure what you really mean either tbh.

Can't have it both ways mate. We can't be saying we should of scored more against Liverpool and then say the scoreline flatters Leeds. They've stuffed us good and proper. Call a spade a spade.

And the scoreline did flatter us vs Liverpool ? whats  your actual point?

That’s not really true. I mean, we should have been ahead before they even scored. After that, we’ve been awful though, but let’s not pretend it’s been like this the whole game.

Barkley has been terrible tonight. Apparently, his problem is consistency and was one reason he was benched so often at Chelsea. Not at the races today. 

Villa have been well beaten, lack of coordination, lack of fight.
