I didn't see any of it so I can't say a great deal but i'm surprised he put Cleverley back in. Maybe leaving Weimann in there or giving Grealish a run might have been the better option.

I imagine was to stop our midfield from being overrun which in fairness it wasn't. They didn't create that many chances. But because Cleverley is more a link player than anything more dynamic along with Delph and Sanchez it really lacks any kind of creativity. We looked better in the second with Andi on Delph being told to push forward.

Talk of possession really is a red herring when the bulk of ours consists of Guzan going backwards to a FB near the corner flag then 45 seconds of nerve jangling short balls around our box followed by the eventual hoof.
We need change.

Since there's little chance of us going down

Really?

5 points off the bottom 3, having scored 11 goals in 18 matches? What would you say if Palace turned us over, reducing that to 2 points?

We beat enough of the teams around us. 7 points from Burnley, Leicester and Palace for instance.

We will be o.k but really we should be doing better than that now.

Just great. Yet another season hoping for teams below us to lose instead of those above. Thanks, Paul.

I don't think that's the case at all. SHQ is right, we aren't going to get relegated and you can look at it two ways; via our own mid table endeavour or by seven or more sides inability to match that level.

I hope we don't get relegated but I am still hoping those below us lose as we are hardly safe.

We're not safe yet, but I don't think we will be involved in a relegation battle. We will be above Everton again come Sunday evening.

Can't understand how we deserved a point. We were piss poor. The only real chances we had were in the injury time. We were second best to every ball.
I cannot believe Villa are fielding inferior team to Swansea year after year and this is seen as acceptable.

With all due respect what game were you watching?

You must have switched off at half-time then. Because we dominated them for most of the second half. There were periods where they couldn't get the ball off us. And this is the amazing Welsh Barcelona we're talking about.

If you say so, I might have watched a different one. Still didn't see anything of notice until the 90+. I think we are safe, but still think with these players we should be much more confident and surely higher up the table.

The first half and then repeated for 45 minutes is my guess.
