Delighted for Keinan.

Usual shit from Villa.

Deserved all 3 points in my opinion despite a poor performance. Great game from Martinez and Targett and I'm ecstatic to finally see Davis on the scoresheet.

Martinez man of the match - kept us in it (again).  Not sure that suggests that we deserved all 3 points...

[sheepyvillian]

That last twenty minutes, McGinn was superb. He totally ran the show.

Dominated the game overall, in particular the 2nd half

But our final ball is so, so poor

I don’t feel that. I think it was even, we were not great. I think we are no better than them and they are going down.

[ender4]

Brilliant from Martinez.

Shame about the slip from Kongs.

Disgraceful from the ref.

[mykeyb]

Davis did more in the 10 minutes he was on the pitch than Traore did in the 80 he was on.

Barkley did well I thought. Bizarre subs from Smith.

Not sure what game Dean watches.

[Paul33]

Too late for Davis to make the Euros ?

[jacketspuds]

Good to see Wesley back, and pleased for Keinan.

It’ll be a confidence boosting late result for the whole team, even if it’s just a draw.

Can’t wait until the summer where, hopefully, Smith will be given what he needs to make us stronger in key areas.

[AVTuco]

Davis MotM by a mile. So happy for him.

Also glad big Wes got some minutes and one good header too.

If Grealish picked up a long term injury at the start of the season we'd be in serious trouble.

Should concern anyone.

I think we knew that before the season started.

Should be doing better considering we’ve spent more money than every other team in Europe over the last 2 seasons

Errrrrr

[Villa87]

We deserved to win that. On the 🏖 

Chuffed for Davis. I couldn’t believe Barkley started but I thought he had a good game as did Ghazi and Targett. Traore is a big concern for me. No pace, strange decisions and blows hot and cold with quality. Hope Jack is back soon - we are hard to watch without him. Also really want to see him at the Euros. 

[AvonVillain]

Surely, surely, we have to start with 2 up front at home to the likes of WBA. Getting worried about such predictable tactics no matter the opposition.

[Gompedyret]

Oh, it must be...and it is! Keinan Davis!

Changes much too late.

 

Yeah, he's just got to give Keinan more than 8 minutes plus stoppage time.

I have defended Smith, and will continue to defend him, but it's really obvious. We're 2-1 down at home, to a local rival. We can't get relegated, the day essentially can't get any worse. Why not give him time to prove himself? At worst, nothing happens, at best you're giving a guy a chance and maybe he can make himself a real option for the future.

He didnt hide and kept pushing us forward. Luiz is a holding player when we were going for the win so dont get the controvesy about taking him off. 

[CVByrne]

We won the first 4 games of the season, we have got worse and worse as the season has gone on. This type of bad form carries over to next season. 

Too many players I thought were good enough just don't look anyway near it. 200 million spent on players since we were promoted and lower mid table finish. Is that even par for the course? 

[foreveryoung]

Struggling for a goal and makes 80 minute sub, bringing off Barkley who was doing alright, McGinn, needs a kick up his big arse.

I will hardly ever diss the quality of our players, I don't think that's the problem, it's in there, we just look lazy as f***.

Ref bottled it by not giving Mings a penalty before Davis hit the post.

Yep if the first 2 were pens so is that
