Looks like a Martin ONeill home performance from last season to me, team comes to Villa Park, tactics to nulify our pacey threat from the wings, park the bus hope for counter attacking or set piece goal, we then huff and puff for the majority of the game in their half, send in numerous crosses and corners, but ultimately come up short by lacking invention and incisive passing to break them down.
Until we bring more pace to our passing in and around the box, these kind of results will just carry on.
