Youri wasn't a 'waste of space' last weekend now was he?

Bloody hell

He's had what? 1 or 2 good performances in a Villa shirt with the rest being utter dross. Leicester fans weren't disappointed at all to see him go. Can see why

Ramsey was in the right position time and time again, I’m amazed he lasted as long as he did. His finishing let him down but it’s too be expected.

Watkins was in the right position time and time again, I’m amazed he lasted as long as he did. His finishing let him down but it’s too be expected.

How finishing letting him down is to be expected?

Hitting it straight at the keeper, how many times do we see him doing it? Sadly it's now no surprise and to be expected.

But for Bailey?

That’s not his fault though; that’s onEmery.
agree, the problem was Bailey off and Diaby on.

We'd have won that game comfortably earlier in the season. The finishing and the defensive frailties really let us down. We never capitalised on their mistakes at the back.

I can only think that Bailey had a knock as otherwise it made no sense.

Although we should have won, we should have been focused as much on not losing it in the last few minutes, as that would have maintained a significant gap.

The better team by a mile.

Our record $50M forward came on to replace Bailey, how is that settling for a point??

1 point off ‘title chasing’ Spurs in 4th & 5 points above the mighty Manchester United. We are struggling for consistency but Jesus fucking wept let’s not throw in the towel just yet.

UTFV!

We lost, which makes us losers. I’ll bet you any amount of money we don’t finish in the top 6. Typical losers

Fuck sake, comment on the game eh? Not people's posts.

Diaby is a chump & Tielemans a waste of space…..apparently

FFS, get behind them!!!!

Agree. Seriously. There is a lot of football left to play this season and we will have key players coming back: Konsa, Pau nd maybe even Buendia.

We also have a manager who took us ten games unbeaten from this position last year. If he gets close to that again we will do something we haven't done since 1996.

I know but we ended up without Bailey and with Diaby.
Which was shit.

Unfortunately he had one of his games in our biggest match of the season. He can be cynical and he’s had a great season. But today was the bad Watkins we see from time to time. The one thing I’m convinced with about him is that he won’t score if he’s not playing well. He won’t be sh*t and knock one in.

Watkins should have buried that ball in from Cash. The whole goal to aim at, and he blasts it straight at the keeper.

Encouraging performance. I still fancy our chances of getting top 4/5 with Torres and Konsa back. Thought Ramsey looked much better this week, him finding form will help us no end, opening up our threat down the left, especially when he starts linking up with Pau. Could be the key to re-discovering our attacking fluidity.

Gutted with the result, but very optimistic.

Dougie also missed an absolute sitter. So bloody frustrating to lose especially when we had what was it, 10 shots on target to their 5.
