Every season a team puts together a run that gets them out of trouble a lot easier than seemed possible and there’s no reason, looking at the players available, that this season it can’t be Villa’s turn.
There’s not enough quality in the side to worry the top half of the table overly but too many players are guilty of a lack of effort, and that’s the main reason why Villa are struggling.
We need a win Tuesday night. Our problem is if Benteke doesn't score it is not likely anybody else will. Ok, Sinclair has got a couple but he showed his true colours at Newcastle where he was anonymous for most of the game. If this manager is not going to play Sanchez as the defensive midfielder I would be tempted to play him up front with Benteke and tell him to provide a physical presence. But I suspect Sherwoodwill again pick the idle dross that is Gabriel Agbonlahor because there is a very small chance he may have a shot in the 90min.We could get out of this mess quite easily with teamwork. Do the other players have the kind of will that Clark and Hutton have? The answer is no.
Gabby loves a derby so i would give him 2 last chances .

It is not a lack of effort. It is a lack of organization and intelligence aka tactics.
Gabby deserves precisely zero more chances. He's been bad all season, but recently he's been so bad it almost looks deliberate. How he, Weimann and N'Zogbia got chances on Saturday ahead of Gil is beyond me.
Mostly agree but the line about Newcastle fans needing to 'get over it' is fanciful thinking. Football fans have very long memories, especially for perceived injustices. You can bet your bottom dollar that if someone gloats over our demise (if it comes to that) we won't be forgetting it in a hurry. Especially if it's Newcastle. It all adds spice to things anyway.
