Nightmare on the line today. Delayed subs at Forest far too long too. It's not really like him. I think we can do without seeing Bailey or Sancho in a Villa shirt again too.

Given you're complaining about delayed substitutions, who would you bring on instead of Bailey and Sancho?

Half time - Maatsen and Luiz on for starters. Digne was horrendous and Bogarde was lost. About 5 minutes into second half, Lindelof for Torres. Barkley and Tammy for Ollie & Buendia/McGinn.

Agree Unai seemed to get it wrong today. He had options and decided on Bailey and Sancho.

Lucky not to get the Gerrard treatment after losing to Fuiham. 3 matches to save his job.

I hope Nas and Wes get on a Zoom call with him later and give him the full hairdryer.

Probably helped that it was 1-0 instead of 3-0. He's on thin ice though.

Playing SJM out wide on the right again despite it never working in the past. Unai needs to stop with this nonsense especially when Youri and Bogarde are not having much fun. Oh and the laws state it's allowed to make subs at half time. I assume we're paying Tammy by the minute and trying to save some money.

Being out wide last week directly led to us scoring our third goal against Sunderland.

McGinn's best position is on the right

But not hogging the touchline. The more central he is the more control we have of the midfield, something we struggle to do when he's played there.
