Mings and SJM look increasingly frustrated, worryingly.

Win the first half, consolidate the second and anything else is a bonus. Eight points chucked in the dustbin, when we might only need one of those to stay up.

Very good first half - they were under huge pressure. But 2nd half was dreadful - Dean again waited too long to change it up and by the time he did we’d lost the momentum.

Wesley needs to be dropped - though he was very poor and offered nothing.

We signed a team of championship players and we’re a championship side.

We are still only six points away from the champions league.

Naive is the only word for it. It’s going to get us fucking relegated or at minimum the manager the sack to stop that happening. Pathetic

Jay Rodriguez is a c***.

Burnley are a horrid team to watch.

We are just lacking something.

A second half plan?

Pretty much mate, yeah.

First half was very enjoyable. It's now 1am and I'm going to bed, fed up of Villa again. Hope you're doing well, mate.

We've led twice in both the last 2 league games and got 1 point.

Our defence isn't really that great is it.

They bullied us with blessing from the ref.

Taylor sub weakened us.

Not much if a threat from our no 9 position. Decent midfield. Fuck we are mentally weak

I'm not sure about that. Not just yet, anyway.

Once again we look fucked by 65 minutes.

Once again we're clearly out of ideas.

Once again Smith has 3 subs available to change things.

Once again, he doesn't.

Really thought that Smith had learnt his lesson when I saw that starting 11, then he fucked it up by leaving Wesley on for pretty much the whole match. With Davis up front, that game would have been done and dusted by HT. Liked the shape of the team today, but leaving Wesley up front for pretty much the whole game was our undoing imo.

Was worried we didn't have enough options up front at the start of the season, even more so now - It's not just the lack of goal threat, it's the fact that he can't even hold it up to relieve the pressure off the rest of the team.

One thing that is also perfectly clear after that game is that Targett is a MUCH better option to Taylor at LB - Hopefully he's not out for too long.

Heaton - 5
Guilbert - 6
Engels - 6
Mings - 6
Targett - 7
Hourihane - 7
Grealish - 6
McGinn - 8
El Ghazi - 6
Wesley - 0

Subs
Taylor - 3
Trezeguet - 7
Davies - 7

Well, I'm going to be optimistic on this one, we won in midweek and we've taken a point today, perhaps we are learning not to lose, albeit very slowly.

Blimey, that is extremely optimistic!!!!!! We beat a youth team in midweek and threw away the lead twice against a poor Burnley side today.

We played well first half but you have to win these games that are there for the taking.
