Whatever gets said on here isn't quite the same as El Ghazi deciding he's had enough after a slight graze to the cheek in a must win game. That's where we need people rolling their sleeves up, on the field. If the team wasn't so utterly feeble we'd probably have more confidence that they're capable of getting out of the shit.How you doing Steve, Newcastle treating you well?Just to be clear, we really need to get over the idea that we'd be fine if we just tried a bit harder. It's the 2nd myth that Villa fans turn to in a bad run (after accusing the team of not being fit enough). Neither of those things are the problem. Our issue is about personal responsibility and self-confidence, not lack of effort or fitness (aside from 1-2 players).

Control it and play nice football? What an absolute fucking scandal!

We're not good enough in most matches with everybody firing on all cylinders, so god knows how you expect us to do with two of them not pulling their weight.

Rubbish winning football would do for the next ten games. Nice, losing football would at least show that improvements could be made. For most of the last few months, it's been rubbish, losing football.
I like how people think 20th place Norwich can definitely survive because they won on Friday but we’re doomed despite having a game in hand and four more points.
