Villa look like us!

We're getting through Villa here. We need to score another.

Why did Jackson stop running during that attack. He looked worn out.

Gallagher scores. 1-0

Jose and JT dream team.👍

I'm seeing clear signs that Mo Po isn't having the impact he could have. There's always a poor performance around the corner and some players just aren't getting the message. It's really disappointing but we have to stick with him because these players are so young and need to gain experience. Sack him now and the young players will be even more lost than they are now. Hard work and team building exercises from now on. Oh yeah, and a couple more years before we can hope for top 4 again.

I thought we might have made more of game of it. We can't keep on about the penalties because they hit the woodwork 4 times and missed a penalty of their own. We were well beaten. We seem to be able to throw in a really bad performance at any given time and I see no signs of this changing. We are stuck with this for a while because there's no point in sacking Poch without a top alternative available. We are just going to have to work our way out of this and I think it could take a couple years before we are top 4 again.

I know we've lost this but there are some players who've completely given up.

It's one of those games where we freeze in front of the big atmosphere. We are going to get these performances because the team is so young. It's inexperienced players not making the right decisions on the run. They need to get some flow and forward passing happening. I saw three or four occassions when we had the opportunity to make passes that were forward and safer, instead we played backwards and into a more dangerous position. On other occasions we were sloppy in our passing and it has to be said that Chilwells mistake lead to one of the goals. Poch needs to work his magic at half time. 🙄

No more a penalty than the Gallagher one.

Can't defend and scared to attack. Too many inexperienced players against a better team. I can't say I'm surprised. We need to push up and find some attacking spirit from somewhere. If we sit back they could cause us serious damage.

Don't know why the current owners just build the old scheme?

George Benson is reporting that they haven't been recalled and have been sent back because they aren't any good.

Darn!

I think the hope is we can hypnotise thier back 5 with this side to side stuff.

Given the current form our fullbacks I think Trevor walks straight into the team. I honestly think he's the best cb at the club.

Game was better without VAR. Enjoyed the quick decisions. Game flowed better and didn't take too long. Let's put the Genie back in the bottle.

Our mental strength will see us through these pens.

I did not need penalties 🫣

No VAR proper celebrations!

It's Nkunku time

Not so sure about that. I thought he may have left his foot in.

At least with VAR we get to celebrate the offside goals for a while.

We got this!

Broja coming on
