Ilori has done ok second half done a bit. Smith did well for 45 mins unopposed up and down. Second half pegged back was solid enough. Allen was busy Stewart was competent for me. Teix was nice on ball but not on it enough. Ibe was wasteful.
I think bt will give it benteke due to name. He's not for me anyway. I'd give it to smith. Good shift.
You lads not think ... Hmmm first he was critiqued for going far post Not it's 18 yard line.... ever think he's been told to go there? Ever see him do this for villa. ... he's changed position utterly. And total ****e from him there at end again. . That's 4 missed
Honestly just think he is so unsure of where he fits in with us. Thinks he shouldn't be doing what he used to do and then balls come in to areas he used to locate. He missed lots of chances though Edit: He is totally overthinking it all.
Mixed bag from Benteke really. Some promising touches, runs and interlinking in attacks, but plenty of wasted chances yet again and too much lingering outside the box rather than getting into it - as pointed out even by Owen! Impressed by Brannagan who looked solid in the middle, Ibe had some great moments and Smith had a great first half but quiet in the second. I thought Allen controlled the midfield well too.
