He's been tossed in without being fully fit to save Dean Smith's arse. No wonder he looks off his game and fucked off when the majority of the time he is having to be a defender (albeit a bad one). We don't play as a unit. We attack in small numbers and get caught in overloads when tracking back because we don't defend together either. And each week that passes the opponents plan for that becaus eevry team has a massive amount of data on us.

So obvious he is unfit and should not be playing , I just do not understand what is going on at Villa at the moment , I mean look at Sanson , bought him because they said they got him at half the price at the right time and the lad does not get a chance. All odd.

Dean Smith seemingly doesn't like Guilbert for fuck knows what reason, and now has a hard on for Sanson. It makes no sense at all. And how Axel keeps getting picked over Hause I will never know.

There aren't many options. There have been so many injuries and absences that there's no chance to get people properly fit etc.

He's not up to speed and in a side low on confidence that's really tricky.

We're in a perfect storm right now aren't we?

It’s just excuse making. He had a full squad against Arsenal.

His performance reminded me of Nzogbia at his worst, obvious talent but with an expression that suggested he did not have a clue what was happening around him.

Well no, it wasn't. And many of the players in there, (Bailey and Buendia for example) weren't fully fit.

Hause literally cannot kick the ball with his right foot.

Axel is dross, why Smith wanted him back only he knows. What i have noticed about bailey is he has a decent cross on him. As most have mentioned he is only half fit, just a sign of our desperatoin.

Hause literally cannot kick the ball with his right foot.

Or control a ball With either foot
The fella is good in the air and that’s about it
He is probably the worst technically gifted center back I’ve ever seen at Villa
The clamour for his inclusion all the time makes me despair he should be nowhere near the squad never mind the first team lineup

Agreed Hause is ok in very specific circumstances but he’s a squad filler.
