How does a free kick for us lead to a corner for them within 5 seconds?
God knows, there are at least 4728 things that wind me up about Villa, but right up there is the fact that whenever we clear a ball, it either lands straight to an opposition player or just bounces randomly off one of ours. But whenever our opponents clear it, hoof it, hack it, it invariably lands to one of theirs, usually with no Villa player anywhere to be seen.
It can't be accidental. It says to me we do not train how to clear, and where to clear, to set up counterattacks. Or at least, to relieve the pressure. And we do not train where to position ourselves to maximise getting 2nd phase ball.
