Having slept on it i'm still fuming. The one stat i keep thinking off is our shots on goal, apart from the tap in i can't remember one. What's happened to the free wheeling attacking Aston Villa?

If the midfield cant get a grip on the game you aren't going to create many chances and the defence will be put under pressure.

Agree, games are won and lost in midfield, and despite us having good players there it is not functioning the way it did last year.

15 goals conceded, 2 more than Palace in 17th place, tells you where the problem is. Luiz scored 22 goals in 5 seasons, his highest tally last year when he was the penalty taker. Diaby scored 6 goals. Decent players but not golden boot contenders. Rogers will out score Diaby comfortably. Get organised at the back and we'll be OK.

100% agree about your point about where the problem lies. Defence for sure. Its scandalous how many we have conceded already this season

What i found worrying was how little pressure we put on spurs back four. I mean it was shitty ben davies and dragustin at cb

How are we struggling to put pressure on them?

Even if dougs goals were pens he scored some crucial goals for us. Diaby his pace is badly missed

the 4th goal , the only highlight was when they all jumped over Cov lad and he was more worried about keeping his syrup straight before doing his wanky dart throw thing

We need Kamara back into this side regularly as quickly as possible. And find a means for Mings to play in defence with both Konsa and Torres.

Doug has 0 assists/ 0 goals in 7 appearances for Juve, and the Turin press are saying he is a waste of money. Get him back in January on the cheap..

if Watkins puts his 1 on 1 away its 2-0 and the game is totally different . He misses too many of these and todays effort wasn't even close

I think we do lack a bit of pace when we turn teams. We’ve got a lot of players who are quick without being express pace. Maatsen is, but as a left back who’s bedding in it’s not really where you want the only option.
