Not too bad. I’d have taken that before the game. Pity we gave them the game and VAR fcuked us again.

Did okay first half, not so much in the second.

As a side we are still getting accustomed to this level and the fact that if we give the ball away as much as we do to sides not even if Man City’s quality we will get punished. We saw that against Spurs, Arsenal and of course now today. We’ve done better of late but it’s something that will come with experience and frankly better players. A number of our players will over the course of the season eliminate themselves from future Villa PL squads. That’s for them to prove in the next number of months that they can survive and adapt at this level. Today and next week are massive tests for any side let alone one promoted in the manner we came up. We have to accept, learn and move on.

Someone from the FA is going to have to explain that second goal. Dean seemed fed up with VAR in his post game and mid week interviews last week, I’d love to hear his thoughts again.

First half was fine, second half was uphill.

I’m not disappointed but I am sick and tired of an inconsistent review process that was instilled to get decisions right.

Wesley cannot start games anymore, he hasn’t earned it. He can have the last 15 minutes of a match when the CBs are tired.

Without Conor or AEG on the pitch our set piece service is really poor. We need to figure that out.

Decent first half, it was always going to be hard second half.  Poor from Mings for the first, then VAR robbed us yet again.  After that we were never going to pull it back.

Our second half’s are often poor against good sides. Not an unexpected result but disappointing from Mings and Heaton.

I note with interest that according to BBC Stats, we committed 5 fouls compared to Citeh's 10.


Quite remarkable, as Alan Partridge or David Coleman might have intoned.

As a newly promoted side I am not going to lose any sleep about losing 3-0 to a team that are capable of scoring twice that amount against teams in both the Premier League and the Champions league.

First half we looked composed, balanced, we could have hurt them had we taken the few chances we had, needed more pace up front, first half is what we take forward.

Didn’t expect to get anything from today. On the plus side, Citeh don’t lose ground to Liverpool in title race I guess?

Points of note...
- VAR is bollocks
- Love Mings, but (so far), he’s no McGrath
- Heaton needs to start showing what he offers over Steer
- Keinan HAS to start against the scousers

Our best player today - Freddie Guilbert imo

Good half and stayed with them longer than I expected. Wesley needs replacing in Jan.

VAR is ruining the game.

Glad I tripled up on citeh up in FPL.

We were in the game and then gave them a goal.
Not sure what Heaton gives us above Steer.
Ming’s has goT a few mistakes in him.
Luis ok but looks a bit rusty. Trez does some good things and some shit ones.
SJM looked off the pace today.
Marvelous steady.
Jack was all over the place and was wound up.
Full backs did ok.
Wesley pointless.
