[frank black]

A player that only comes to life, when defending a corner.

[Drummond]

I swear to god some people just can't wait to find new ways of trying to insult some of our players.

[Ian.]

I feel for the lad Drummond. I do wonder if he’s struggling with confidence, or something else. He’s trying his hardest and like I’ve said countless times on here, I think he puts a good shift in, but lacks that burst you see with most attacking players.

Mind you, I hadn’t seen it with Sancho until last night. I’ve always thought his efforts for Villa have been tidy but nothing else. Then last night, suddenly he moved the ball past players and tried different things which made you stand up and notice him.

Confidence has such a huge effect on players.

[Clampy]

I thought he did ok when he came on last night.

[ROBBO]

I didn't, he seemed to do everything at half pace. My only reservation is that Emery has a cunning plan to use him in a totally different position.

[Olneythelonely]

I thought he did ok when he came on last night.

He did. Kept the ball well for us a couple of times. He had a pass belted being him so that it hit his heel, which is all it needs.

He’s definitely trying and I have my doubts he’ll do much for us, but the eagerness to slag him him is clear. All is going too well on the pitch, we need something to get really upset about.

He's no Nicò Zaniolo.

Part of the problem here is that we are working under such financial constraints that our one big money signing needs to have an immediate impact. Levels of expectations are obviously high after £39m being spent. At other clubs he could be rested or they could buy others to shard the burden. He’s in our headlight as we all look at him and think how we could have spent the money elsewhere.

[ChicagoLion]

The ball from Onana was really poor. It was behind him. I don’t think he’s very good, but it looks a bit like people are dying to slag him off at times.

Because he is terrible.

£39m? Blimey, he gets more expensive by the week.

At that price even Billy Smart might be put off.

[aj2k77]

He looks that bad because so many of our other players look so comfortable on the ball. We're talking about top 6 standard players, he's not. Maybe he wouldn't look so shite if he was in West Ham's team. I think they should buy him.

[London Villan]

We have a group of players that are giving everything at the moment. Some might not be good enough now, or ever, but the level of abuse some of them are getting is way out of line.

Compare this bunch to the attitude of the 2016 mob… we are lucky to have them.
