It’s not that he’s underperforming, it’s that every single thing he does is wrong. He is a total liability. He’s not even ‘in the right position’ or ‘putting a shift in’. It’s worse than playing with 10 men. For a lot of last season he looked kind of invincible: strong, quick, decisive. Now he’s slow, gets knocked off the ball and looks bereft of any clue what to do. It must be a crisis of confidence. He’s only 23 so I hope he just needs a rest. He’s the next generation Deli Ali.let's hope not. Deli's back story is awful, making it a minor miracle he achieved anything.Indeed, and I find it bizarre how some are reacting to his recent form. There’s almost relish about getting the knives out.

The biggest drop off in form I can remember seeing in a Villa player, literally from the sublime to the ridiculous.His decision making and his execution are both catastrophically poor.

But he struggled second half. I’m sure massive ironic cheers at a pass will help though.
Well it’s not - people can choose not to do it. If a player isn’t trying it’s one thing, he evidently was.
