Ball is moving so slowly in this ankle deep grass.

Anything more than a 10 yard pass seems a real struggle on that pitch. Diaby's fresh air effort kind of sums up our first half performance. Moreno looks lively but Ramsey for one needs to be doing a lot more.

It would help if everything wasn't going down the right.

Shit ground, shit pitch against a team who’ve parked the bus and shown even less ambition than they did at VP. 0-0 about right.

Nice to see the feel-good factor from last week has carried over.

We’re playing with 10 again. Zaniolo is a waste of space. Again. Send him back please.

no worse than Diaby

That’s ok then. He’s doing great.

the guys trying and looking active , just needs some luck  but nobody else is doing much better .       

Hope we can uncover some players in January who will “ try and look active”. Just the criteria we need.

You must’ve been a big Brett Holman fan.

Well that was an awful half of football. Not a particular criticism of Villa, it must be hard to play against a team of cloggers on an awful pitch with that effin racket in the background.

To be fair we struggled to break this lot down at Villa Park with a stronger line up than this

One team playing with 10 men behind the ball. Happy with a 0-0.

The other team happy with a 0-0, minimum energy, no injuries.

Recipe for a shit game but mission accomplished for Villa.

Worst thing we could do is score and bring the game to life!!!!!

Should be 9 behind the ball. Not 10.

I feel for Zaniolo. He’s playing like he’s had a bad injury and has lost his confidence in his body.

I have a 38 page building regulations guide for new build owners to read and add final comments to before validation before I go to bed. I fear it will me the most exciting thing I do this evening.
