I don't mind Treseguet starting. He was unlucky not to score the other night although that's the only thing he did.

You don't mind that a player had one shot and contributed absolutely nothing else for 90 minutes?

No.

That's how resigned to shitness we are.

I'm struggling to think what El Ghazi has done since the re-start as well.

What's that got to do with Trezeguet, though?

Almost all of them have done nothing since the restart, and recently we've seen some utterly wretched performances. Some of them - most, in fact - have delivered nothing all season.

We have to field 11 players.

Because he normally plays both or one or the other so I was comparing both seeing as they both wide men. Like you said though, no-body has really done anything other than Doug.

We don't have to. Just pick seven and the game gets abandoned. Always a chance they'll just call it a draw as it's too late in the season to rearrange. 🤞

He normally manages to play well for two minutes a game before disappearing again.

That's the best game I've seen him have in a Villa shirt.  Credit where it is due.  I still think he has been a very poor signing but well done today.  Lovely first goal and neat finish for the second.  I hope this lifts him for the rest of the season and we sell him on.

Not really. He’s been mostly shit but he was great today - a completely different player. It’s great for us, but who on here called it?

Doesn’t mean people were wrong to say he was shit, when he was.

Smith got lucky with the Hause withdrawal.

Let’s hope he gets a bit more luck over the next 3 games.

And if anyone's going to drag them up, it'll be you.

We’re still in the position of having to win a minimum of two of our last three games.  I wouldn’t say ‘happy day’s are here again’ because Trezeguet decides to turn up for once.

And if anyone's going to defend it.... Etc etc.

He's not been brilliant for us, if only he'd nailed that chance the other night. But this is at least a step in the right direction.
