This display is so reminiscent of the Villa we all hated the season we went down. Under the cosh from the off, constant mistakes just waiting for their goal to arrive. With 10 men now to get through this will be nothing short of a miracle. The ref hasn’t helped but this has been really dire all round.
Blimey way OTT. We've been competitive in all the games so far so way different to 15/16, just lacking in the final third at times.
Did someone get a little overexcited with their cosy US chat with DS by any chance?
What does it matter about the other games this season? My comment was specific to this game. We are playing a team that will be in that lower half of the table with us and we have looked awful for most of the game.
And as for your last comment I have no idea what that even means. Clearly my chat with Dean Smith in the US hasn’t stopped me for calling his tactical ability out when needed. So I’ll commend him as needed and criticize when deserved. We have been second best all game against Crystal Palace.
I just think you're getting a bit above realistic levels. I remember you referencing Dean's bold "we'll attack everyone home and away" comment.
A newly promoted prem team no matter how much money they've spent simply isn't going to do that.
Today will be fantastic backs to the wall point if we hang on. You need those to stay up just as much as comfortable home wins v Everton.
Which isn't happening now as Ayew just scored.
