I’m unsure if the formation / tactics is as much the problem as some poor playing today. 
that said I’d change the lot. Get an extra body in midfield, and take off a nervy performer or two (mainly Cucurella, or perhaps Chilwell due to yellow)

Not surprised about the two players coming off, they were both terrible. 

I think Cucurella should still get awarded a clean sheet in fantasy football

Do you think Potter reads these forums for his sub recommendations!

AZPI and Koulibaly on for Havetz and Cucu. I would have taken off Chilwell as he is on  a yellow but o well

Looking so much better already

                       Kepa

        Trev       Silva       Kouli

Dave      RLC     Kova         Chill

Sterling                         Mount

                    Auba

Struggling to stay awake here.

Cucu and Havertz out. Sensible.

So Kouzpi for Hacu.

Hacu sounds more like a solid Romanian player. Cucertz is clearly a struggling actress.

We look more solid but still slow

Normal service is resumed - soothing tedium, [mostly] controlled possession and Kepa failing to deal with corners.

Still feel he needs to figure out how to get the best of Sterling. He is best when you exploit his pace and getting on the end of balls, not crossing the ball in. He is also more effective on the left.

We still look sh*t. Still too many players off their game. Still need more from Kovacic, Sterling and Aubameyang.

I think it’s good to see that Potter isnt afraid to take of the likes of Havertz who was sh*t today. Maybe he should remove Sterling and PEA as well. 

Just a matter of time.

Kane or haaland would have had 3.

Gonna be 1-1 FT

To use the words of Didier. This is a f**king disgrace of a performance.

Not seen anything quite like it. No control whatsoever. Don't know about you but this makes me miss Tuchel-ball with control. Take it over this any day.

Personally I think we have to compete better and be better with our control and passing. Other than Havertz who looks unfit to me, the other forwards haven't done anything particularly wrong, we just have no quality or movement in moving the ball up the pitch.

It's frustrating because I think the Villa defence could easily crumble.

For some reason we seem to be determined to contrive to draw or even lose this match

Before Bogarde's nephew comes on? @PloKoon13 is foreseeing stuff in this scenario.
