but we did beat Leeds unlike Man City .It's not only that; there's some complacency and arrogance showing through. We took one look at Villa and thought, 'They've just come up' and we got hammered for it. We only just beat Leeds.
It was said on Twitter well maybe they're concerned about Mane and Thiago's Covid test. Maybe, but it's all excuses. Something's gone wrong and it's not being sorted out.
I do agree that it felt like some of the team thought they just had to turn up at Villa Park & walk off with the points but it may just be that the lack of pre season has meant the team isn't as well drilled as normal and that is causing some of the problems as it is for other clubs .It may also be they just cannot keep up the intensity of the last few years .
We will see as the season passes as it has been a weird start which was predicted .
