Felt Trez put a decent showing and up for best villa player.Davis moved to channels and mobile , good enough appearance by him , and unlucky not to score , to have more minutes next time out.Disappointing Gündoğan was allowed to run the show, needed shackling . It would have been great to show more in attacking sense both when in possession and that they didn't look so good in defence both form and problems First goal with Mings he was far too casual trying to flick in back to Engels rather than head awayAnyway tough ask and didn't deserve winFirst half ok and relative competitive but 2nd half didn't get near them at periods Be a different match at villa park .But good effort for a lot of players today shame on some defending and always disappointing to lose but it's how we go in other games that shape us Who scored . com match player ratings Trézéguet 6.8Nakamba 6.7Heaton 6.5Guilbert 6.5Douglas 6.5Mings 6.4McGinn 6.3Targett 5.9Grealish 5.9Wesley 5.8Engels 5.4El Ghazi 6.0Davis 6.0

To add, I hope if we're ever fortunate enough to be blessed with one of the best managers and sides in Europe, winning titles with record points we can still fill our ground.Plastic, soulless, empty twats with a sense of entitlement having forgot who they are and where they're from. Now they're just a smaller imitation of everything that's loathsome about the other lot in this cotton village.
Well at least we weren't thrashed, our best chance was at the end SJM hitting the post. Poor from Tyrone today, but he did make an incredible goal line clearance. No idea how VAR thought the 2nd goal should stand, Heaton was obstructed by Sterling, who was offside. Roll on Wednesday, gotta win that one.
