Still playing one up front

If Clark is fifth choice how come Okore is on the bench?

He's shown repeatedly he is no centre half.

Between that and slagging off Ozil I feel pretty responsible. Sorry.

Like I said earlier, I've had this game on the tube all of 3 minutes before I turned it back off.  I feel as responsible as anyone!

Glad to see Grealish on with ample time. There's no pressure on him. We've probably lost already, so he can express himself and hopefully give us at least something to smile about this evening.

He's no anything.

Lambert doesn't do himself any favours sometimes. It's quite clear Sanchez is having an absolute nightmare out there. He should have come off at half time, for his own good just as much as ours.

No sign of a plan B. We're still playing counter attack. Unfortunately it doesn't work very well when you're losing.

Trevor Francis rightly highlighting Villa's awful tactics and that Sanchez needs to be removed. Not sure how our manager cant see it

And he still won't see it in 2018.

I was under the impression Okore was working his way back to fitness, which is why he didn't start. If he's fully fit, then frankly playing Clark was a silly decision.

I can only assume we are into damage limitation. Since the first goal we have done nothing.

It's amazing that the only player in our side at the moment who doesn't look rushed and nervy on the ball is the skinny 19 year old boy with the silly hair and low socks.

[ChicagoLion]

will some one tell lambert we are losing 3 -0 unless we can start putting pressure on there back 4 then we are done

[Summers]

I've only been watching for 10 minutes, please sub Sanchez off Lambo.

Incredible how so many are on PL's back after a bad first half, fickle response to be expected I guess. Decent start and everybody seems to think we should be up there. As I see it we have 7 more points towards the magic 40 than I thought we'd have
