For a long time under Emery we never drew, like it rarely happened. I loved that, cos for too many years of my Villa-supporting life we've been boring and had too many stalemates at VP (Gregory, O'Neill, McLeish etc.)
If you're drawing half of your home matches, chances are you'll be midtable unless your away form can make up for it which ours can't.
We just can't keep the back door shut. I think we do have enough creativity and firepower now to make chances against 10 men behind the ball - the last 20 minutes showed that so that's encouraging but we need to be more dynamic earlier.
Ironic that JJ in his interview after Spurs last week, was talking about the starters having to up their game now that we've added strong January signings - and today he is promptly hooked at half time! As much as I love him, it was the right call. We need more from him.
