Hope this isn't gonna be deja vu, last time we lost to Villa we never recovered and got relegated. Hope i am wrong but if we do go down it will be because the defenders are so poor.
As always, we don't have a proper midfield. We can't work the ball forward from the back and have to resort balls into the final third in the hope that they'll stick up front, after which the attack is based upon getting numbers up there in the hope that this'll create pressure and lead to a goal. More often than not then initial lack of numbers means that the ball comes back quickly and this team panics on the back foot. Henry for Sandro, please.
We don't look like scoring again.....and there is nothing on the bench to offer attacking hope either
What was all that practising passing triangles all about a few weeks back? Why show us that footage if we're not going to use this in a real match? Why isn't the team working hard in this department in this fixture?
credit to villa they are playing like this is a massive game for, them, come on boys!!! where's the heart!?!?
Not sure what's more worrying- 1. How bad out defence is 2. Chaulker setting himself up for a red 3. Our lack of anything on the bench to change this
This is awful. Where is Henry? Caulker needs to **** right off. Unfortunately, we've no one to replace him with. If Yun was fit, we'd be so much better off with Clinton in the middle.
