Was given very little help by the out of position Baker and the non tackling midfield though!

Exactly it's Baker all the time, it's like we play with one centre due to his lack of positional sense.

Baker and Vlaar are as bad as each other, but one is supposed to be a 28 year old Dutch international.

Exactly, a 28-year-old Dutch international who came out today saying he would have to consider leaving Villa if they go down because he has to consider his World Cup opportunities. Please.

No Baker is worse.

Hiya Todd, OK?  I'm considering my opportunities for a bit of a bunk up with Uma Thurman.

Next goal crucial (I've been taking lessons from Mark Lawrenson)

Next season, I'd suggest buying a new pair of full backs and playing Lowton and Bennett on the wings.

That's a clear example of Weimann will go on to great things as well as Benteke in my opinion. Movement, composure, quality finishing. Cracking player.

I do agree that Weimann is an exciting prospect but composure isn't really one of his strong points. Not yet anyway. The potential is there and at times he shows it but he misses some sitters too and needs to iron those out of his game before I'd consider him to be a composed player.

If this stays 2-1 at half time not sure I'm going to be able to watch the 2nd half.

We need more goals here, probably 4. Come on Villa please.

They are both super players, but not great at the back. With the way we play, I could see the logic of 3 at the back
