onana with his normal half asleep start
He marks empty space and then does half arsed tackles.

I’m not sure I’ve ever heard Lee Hendrie say anything I’ve agreed with. 

He always says Villa are massive.

Shaky start here. Can't get turned on ball and getting overran in middle. Diabolical run from Watkins early on top when Buendia broke.

We're in passive/containing mode. It never works out well for us when we try this vs them. Our successes have come when we've been aggressive and on top of them.

Giving the ball back to them at every opportunity isn’t the best of tactics.

This feels like another game where our main aim is to get to HT 0-0.

It’s a victory of sorts that they didn’t score from their first shot. But I just hate it when we roll over like this and give them the all the possession. Why can’t we just take the game to them instead? A couple of seasons ago that win at home, goal by Leon was heralded as one of the best ever performances by us against anyone let alone this lot. Why have we stopped being that side?

Swapping Buendia and Rogers for one. Rogers not working hard enough

All our games are like that. That is our tactic.

Not sure why it's Onana's fault if somebody underhits a pass to him, but some people decide who they're going to slag off before kick-off.
