According to stats Rogers had 6 passes that half, we'd probably have more chance if we got the ball to our main man.

Gives it away ever time he has got it

One unsuccessful pass.

Not controlling it, not getting turned on the ball. Not doing anything

We lose so much passing ability and being able to move the ball from the back when Mings plays instead of Pau. Bailey is just being Bailey which means predictable and ineffective. Watkins has continued his patch form. Emery needs to make changes at HT not after 65 mins. Sancho and Abrahams needed on now.

We can question if people should be booing, but with so many paying £71-£82 for this it's hard to blame them.

Its not just a question of the money, Villa are looking at surrendering a golden opportunity of being top 3, it really wouldn't be hard to be in the top 3 as we close the season out, we had a fantastic points  lead over the teams behind us, relatively easy fixtures and what do we do?.

You have to either win or play well at those prices.

I'd try Tammy wider. See if he and Ollie can do anything. He can't be worse than Bailey.

I would boo that pile of shit if I'd paid that amount of money to watch zero fucks given.

Mings. I love mings but he is killing us.
Dwelling on the ball, slowing things down to a point where Leeds have time to reset and get everyone back behind the ball and so it’s just cycle and repeat

we all love ty, but it is a coincidence that our season took off when pau was brought in to partner konsa, and that it's tailed off again since ty came back in.  we're back to walking football again.

It's a bit of a peculiar choice from the boss, especially as we need some vision without Youri.

Yup. It's means everything happens fifteen yards further back as a result.

Not to say that bringing Pau would suddenly bring the front four out of their collective funk though.

On the bright side, we were 1-0 down at half-time in the reverse fixture and went on to win it. Let's just do that again.

with the greatest of respect "He can't be worse than Bailey" is no recommendation :)..
