Should have been 4. We're being dragged forward and hit on the counter - simple stuff

why bother playing Gestede ?

We haven't really got anyone else unless he puts ayew there. Absent a new signing I think that's what I'd do.

Not as if Boro are great. The remains a really poor Villa side. Bacuna, Westwood, Gestede all need replacing. Time to show us the money Doc.

RDM is half-soaked. Obvious that last year's players aren't up to it.

What do we expect? It's the same team as last season. We needed major investment in more or less a whole new team and it hasn't happened

I'd give Rushian H-M a chance rather than persist with Gestede while we look for a new striker

Cissokho at fault there.

Odd that you didn't bother to comment on the Villa goal.

It's almost as if you're only interested in making negative comments.

Hutton is shit and Cissokho was at fault there, all facts now toddle off and find something better to do with your time than constant insinuating.

Maybe toddle off and learn what "insinuating" means.

And neither Hutton nor Cissokho are shit.

Theyre dreadful players, mate. But, each to their own. Someone just pointed out that Ayew is 'killing the team'....

You are joking?

Ermmm... no. Cissokho is about average and Hutton is above average.
