Much better second half, but still a lot to be desired.

It feels so good to be just shit as opposed to utterly shit. Well done for showing a little less shitness, Villa! Onwards and less-shitwards.

The last 10 minutes shouldn't gloss over what was a bloody awful performance. Only plus point - A goal from the Beast.

Only hope is that they carry their performance from the last 10 mins into the Liverpool game.

Do we win on aggregate?

As I said in the match thread lets hope that like the Newcastle game last year that last twenty minutes at least gives us a template for the rest of the season.

We weren't great by any means. But we were at least purposeful and vigorous.

The second half is the bare minimum to expect at home, we gave it a go. Maybe Lambert will realise now you do actually need the ball and have the ability to pass it around, you also need to press the opposition. I don't want to see 5 at the back again it's defeatist from the off set. The second half can be a base for improvement, we were still well short of quality but we tried to be progressive.

Wring tactics from the start was our downfall. They play one up front, so why do we play 5 at the back.

Good second half fight back.

Great to see Benteke score. Hope he goes on a run.

Better than I thought at half time

We go again...

Lambert can't be allowed to let that last 15 mins paper over the gaping cracks. Abysmal again for most of the game. At least we stand a fighting chance of survival if Benteke's mojo has truly come back.

Don't be deceived by a better 2nd half performance when Arsenal were coasting.

Midfield was a complete non-entity once again.  Both full backs leave a lot to be desired from a defensive/positional point of view.  Forwards isolated.

Nothing's really changed - unless the Benteke goal is a sign of things to come.
