Simply beat fair and square although they dived liked **** and the referee bought it.

But we were all over the place most of the game.

I think today shows we don’t have the depth. Let’s hope we can get top 5 and then get some better players in.

I think a lot of our players where knackered.

Players were tired after playing Wednesday.
Got beat against a good side. Move on and finish the season strong. We can do it.
 
And tbf we haven't had our manager for the last 3 games, we crushed Man U and Palace, and lost a game where the odds were against us. It's a very positive time.
If you'd said beforehand that we'd get 6 points from those 3 games, score 10 goals and concede 5, I think most of us would have happily taken it.
 
No, if they were they'd be ahead of us in the league. Likewise Fulham aren't a better team that is even though they beat us.

We hammered Villa 3-0 at home, and as a team, we're better than them overall.
Starting 11 we are the better team.
Squad though and they are miles ahead of us
 
Yeah, our squad depth is the issue. As in the quality beyond our first choice 11 or so players.

I don't think that was the issue today personally. They just thought they could be a bit too cute and got blown away. Isak played like he's been talking to Chelsea btw
 
Compare Villas team they played on Tuesday to today's team. Then do the same for ours.



Edit: Trev, yes we played Wednesday not Tuesday

For me the yellow cards left two key players hesitant and almost unable to get properly stuck in and the right hand side was never addressed.

Unfortunately once Villa got the 2nd goal our players started sulking and had chucked the towel in.

That's my take anyway.

In a good position regardless.
