I think we know the rest

[Goldie.7]

Ayew = Bent mk 2

[paul_e]

Every time we jump against smalling he gives a 2 handed shove and has got away with all of them

[Jimbo]

Nothing to aim for up front. Gabby is a waste of a kit. Ayew not in it at all.

To be fair, we're looking for them constantly with straight 40 yard through balls. What are they meant to with that?

Need to get to HT without conceding again and get this sorted, with Rudy on for starters.

Agreed, it's Lambertesque at the moment, but are the front pair making space?

Not good by Richards that. Lost his man then went extravagantly to ground. What's Ray 'stay on yer feet' Wilkins doing?

Shit defending indeed.

Richards has a worrying habit in switching off re runners off him. Very lucky deflection in fairness, Clark covered for Richards very well.

Front two have offered us nothing. Smalling bullying both physically. Wide men not suited to 442. Need to change it tactically as we don't look remotely threatening

They take the ball from us too easily.

westwood   come on

[usav]

Normal service is resumed I see - no shots on goal.

Since the tactic clearly seems to be to win it back and immediately look for the direct ball, I can't understand why Rudy wasn't on from the start. We played exactly the same against Bournemouth and looked rubbish until he came on.

better villa

[Legion]

Kozak and Gestede on for Ayew and Gabby in the second half?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Fuck off Sinclair!
