Can we get a finishing coach next please?
With Ollie and Ings we shouldn't need one but that doesn't seem to be the case.

We’ve done alright, but failed to take our chances. Their penalty will come.

Good game. We are doing well but as Monty pointed out they are making good use of the space we leave due to our formation.

Great chances for us. But several for them too. 1-1 or 2-2 would be a more typical outcome after a half like that.

Aside from the missed chances, which are frustrating for sure, I'm not sure how anyone could be unhappy.

Bailey would be ideal in a stretched game like this.

Honestly - this team is a strong team. Much stronger overall than last season, and still missing players. 
Looks good!

It's none of my business, obviously, but I wish Dean would invest in some decent shirts. These 2 for £30 M&S numbers are unbecoming for a man in his exalted position.

I really hope this isn't another one where we have to 'take the positives' but not the points.

We're getting there but you feel that the inevitable is coming. We do have options on the bench but they have Cavani and he could be the difference.
As well as the ref.

Very well played. I enjoyed that, very brave of us at times which does leave us exposed. Much prefer it like this than expecting to come here to lose.

Unlucky not be ahead. Well done Villa

Its got that feeling about it hasn't it. Especially given the chances we've missed.

Pogba one of the biggest cheaters in the world.
I blame the ref more for giving the free kick rather than a booking.
