I suppose one way to look at it is it’s 7 points from the last four games including one against Citeh.

Edit from five games.  Okay it’s not great.

At least Smith did something eventually. Everything good that we did in the 2nd half, began when Drinkwater went off.

Grealish, Mings and Reina, thank you all.

Luiz got us playing I thought when he came on. Brighton sat back and gave us far too much space but credit to Luiz.

Thought AEG did well on right wing too late on. Goal was a superb finish from Grealish.

Brighton seemed very nervous, a point on a bog of a pitch not the worst result.

Yep Douglas showed value. That’s the role he needs to play.

Good result considering the first half and our predicament

We're in a scrap now so that's a good point. Selection is still a conundrum as is Drinkwater, a striker in will help and so will a stonker of a win on Tuesday.
We need a couple more players, and there's time.
All, is far from lost.

Konsa and Maupay squaring up at the end.  Thought they were former teammates.  Maupay is a nasty little frigger.

Am I right in thinking that, of the teams we have played twice, we are currentlly

Norwich, 6pts
Burnley, 4pts
Brighton, 4pts.

That's not bad at all...if we can get revenge on Bournmouth and Watford (and later in the season Crystal Palace)...things will look an awful, awful lot better.

It's really tight at the bottom so not losing today was vital, second half performance much better than what was served up in the first half.

Get a couple of strikers in Villa because we are still fighting.

Good fight back and a good point.
Smith owes Jack another pint.

A very important point. Well done to Luiz for a smart assist and Grealish for getting us out of jail, he was always going to be our only goal threat today and took it brilliantly. A future without him just doesn't bear thinking about, so Smith and Suso need to get the fucking finger out and fix our forward crisis immediately or we're not moving out of this bottom 3.

Mostly garbage, Jack is the highlight - just like he was last season.

Mings is the only real defender we have out of the five that started today, six if you include Nakamba. Guilbert and Targett are very poor, so much so I'd rather have Hutton back. Really.

I've had enough of this turgid anti-football, Smith needs to go.

We fucking owe Bournemouth one for the daylight robbery they got away with on the opening home game, we murdered them after the opening 20 minute brain farts and were unlucky not to get a point.

Man City too.

Watford and Bournemouth are just huge fixtures. What I'd give for 6 points.

Wasn’t there but from what I could hear the fans were absolutely magnificent. With 110% support from them home and away in each and every match plus a couple of strikers, I’m convinced we’ll be Ok.
