Anyway we ve got an exiting Villa team and future back. It would take a lot to be (stable) amongst the better teams I guess. Nearly teams hit the woodwork and are nearly onside and seems to have some bad luck. Reality is teams and managers such as those from Brighton, Southampton and West ham are better than us as the moment. My expetations for the season are lowered after a (bit too) promising start.
It was McGiin, Luiz and Hourihane, not the defenders, who lost Ogbonna for the first goal. Three of them went with the other two West Ham players while Ogbonna went the other way.
Dean has to make a decision with the defence and shake things up because we're shipping goals like last season. i'd like to see someone dropped if he's got the bottle to do it. Defence cost us the game not VAR, or watkins miss. midfield poor. Grealish doing his party tricks and trying to beat half their team again. last season deja vu indeed. I wouldn't mind so much but west ham were crap, really poor imo. Them being 5th is worthy of an episode of Arthur C Clarke's mysterious world (one for the kids etc..). Utter arse overall.
Worryingly we are unable to get anything from a game if we concede first. That is a serious weakness at this level.
Is there a single fan, player or manager, just one, who thinks fucking VAR has given anything to the game. It’s destroying it.

We absolutely dominated that game, we never dominated any games like that last season that I can remember. A couple of sitters and a penalty missed, so architects of our downfall to an extent, but VAR did deny us a draw that was more than deserved. On VAR in general, the absolute worst element of it, as Watkins scored, I celebrated, my 10 year old sat there and said ‘naw dad VAR will rule it out’. That’s before the replay. Totally taking the joy out of football for kids, that’s the worst bit.
