The key is to replace Weimann's role as a creative force with a genuine attacking midfielder. The same for Gabby and N'Zogbia too.

Dyer is a runt of Ashley Young ill with an inability to stay on his feet, but Swansea have three decent wingers/attacking midfielders which with a player like Bony up front, sees them right.

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?

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

And even in the pretty dreadful first half we still had more meaningful shots than they did.

We didn't get a shot on target first Half .

I didn't say that we did. I said that we had more meaningful shots than they did. Which is true.

Gabby and Benteke's very decent shots which both missed by a couple of inches were far better attempts than if we'd had a couple of potshots which dribbled into Fabianski's arms.

Even if the latter would have made your boring statistic look more favourable.

The most important thing now is how we bounce back v Sunderland and palace . We need a win and a draw minimum.

Ron Vlaar played very well both halves. Jores was dreadful in the first half but improved in the second half.

More meaningful shots ? What than Sigurdsons ?
Gloss over it if you like but today is another goalless defeat with minimal threat on their goal.
11 in 18 may be boring but it's a fact.

Yep, two is definitely a higher number than one.

We must contrive to cancel next season's Boxing Day fixture if Lambert is in charge - 3 defeats to date and we have yet to score under him.

What a thoroughly depressing thought, another year with him in charge!

Contractually it's 4 more minimum.

Another defeat, another clean sheet for the opposition.   Why does the song from the remake of "Annie" spring to mind.   The sun will come out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar.   However bad it gets large numbers of us delude ourselves that the worst is over.   Can't see it personally.

Hang on , so you're saying 2 misses are more "meaningful" than 1 goal ? Not following the logic on that .

[hilts_coolerking]

I didn't see the game today but I understand we played reasonably well.  But 11 goals from 18 games is piss poor.

Just having a Sigurdsson in our team would make a world of difference, it really would. They don't all cost 15m either.

Hopefully one day Grealish could be that player but not now.

No, I'm saying that two shots are more shots than one shot is.

Agree.

In fact if we had Sigurdsson, and Benteke had played as many games as Bony has this season, I have little doubt we'd be 6th or 7th now.
