Bloody rubbish. Trezeget has been hopeless and hasn’t even hit Sunday league level. Don’t worry though we always fly out after half time...

Well there is no question we need new faces just to lift spirits, for the players and us. Hope Jesus is busy!

There is not another side in the league that gives the ball away as casually and carelessly as we do.

This really is awful nonsense.

Pure muck. Somebody somewhere will try to defend Smith for how he's set us up here, but it'll be insufferable bullshit. No fucking game plan, no tactics, no threat up front in a must-win home game. Fucking appalling.

Really think we need a better manager. Smith's football can look decent occasionally but the team is lightweight and has little confidence. Reminds me of Tony Mowbray's albion team way back when.

Thanks for getting us up Dean, but you seem out of your depth.
Unless he learns quick and turns it around...

Not good enough! At home and zero attempts on target.
Swap Wes for Kodjia and take either one of the dcms off ffs!

Utter,utter dross.
We are one paced and one dimensional.
Their goalie hasn’t touched the ball in 45 mins.

Trezeguet and El Ghazi are both just embarrassing, and if they are starting games for Aston Villa in the premier league, then its no fucking wonder we are in a relegation battle.

Dreadful first half, not a single effort on goal.  Elmo and Trezeguet are shit.  Nakamba drifts in and out.  Wesley gets some stick on here but gets very little service.  Really poor side Villa.  Throwing more money at it in January might make it less marginally shit but we are desperate for toughness, craft and pace.  I just hope Grealish doesn't decide to take any time off! Southampton and Watford doing ok today, we have to win these games but truthfully, we haven't even looked like scoring.  Norwich have been the better side by far.

Sleep walking into relegation.

Even if we  somehow win this, were done for. When did we become so lethargic? Weres the early season energy gone? We are hideously slow, we've become boring again.

AEG and Trez absolute rubbish...bring on Kodjia for AEG and switch Trez to the right if Dean wants to continue 4-3-3.

Trezeguet is piss-poor.AEG is bang out of form.
The build-up play is sooooo slow; and the ball retnetion is - once again - embarrassingly poor.
All that said, we could / should have scored.

The tension and lack of confidence is very obvious. As much support as it is possible to display is required.
