Two positive things.Douglas Luiz is the genuine article and is going to be a star player at Villa or someplace else.There is a general air of confidence and calmness when Reina is between the sticks.
As calamitous as he was at Leicester, hearing him bellowing endlessly yesterday gave me reassurance too. I know he was at fault for the goal, but I felt Taylor played well. Doesn't offer much going forwards, but I was impressed with his noise and play.
That's the thing, we csnnot afford to have two full backs who cannot get forwards. I get yesterday was different, but I think we need to gamble on one attacking full back. Freddie is probably the quickest player in the squad too. He can have stinkers, but inthink he's a really good full back on the whole.
I actually thought AEG did pretty well yesterday, especially in the first half.

Watch the Man City game where Drinkwater debuted and it shows exactly why wing backs in a 5 are so rare now.

Useless going forward, and fine defensively, *apart from* the one or two defensive switch offs that very often lead to a goal.
