Before Xmas Palmer would have buried that...now ..meh

My god, our bench is weak. I wouldn't mind seeing George come on, but we don't really have any potential game-changers.

This is typical Maresca, isn't it? Control has completely gone, Villa making the changes to force things to happen, Maresca looks around cluelessly and changes nothing.

Just looked at our options on the bench. Christ, it's dire.

‘old’ Palmer never misses that

Yeah 2 months ago that ends up in the top corner and he's off doing his cold celebration.

first best thing Nkunku has done this game

Not too bothered anymore what happens, wouldn’t mind seeing McGinn get his leg snapped in two but that’s about it

It’s not Maresca. I’m not a fan of his, but this is just the severe lack of experience in the team.

One of the laziests efforts of a challenge I’ve ever seen omg get Nkunku off!

The way we just give away the ball is unnacceptable. We have a throw in, James is slow to react, we lose the ball, Nkunku gets booked.

How much did Liverpool offer for Colwill?

I think had he had gone to Liverpool he would have been a better player...this side gets no defensive coaching whatsoever ...we are appalling and it's not just Colwill.

I’d love to ask the owners and sporting directors what their honest reasons for hiring Maresca was? Because even at Leicester he wasn’t setting the world alight. What data or whatever were they looking at?

He kind of looks like Pep, if you squint, and he worked for him.

James has been bad

Needing a goal and bringing on Sancho 😩

We have no experience or leadership to hold these players accountable. Zero standards. Terry would’ve chewed out Colwill by now.

What we’re seeing now is Maresca’s team.

The success seen in the first half of the season was off the back of what Poch had built and momentum from last year. That is gone now.

The league cup final says we were a bunch of spineless losers under Poch, just as we are now under Enzo.

No spine, no fight.

We even make Rashford look good

And he would have played alongside Van Dyke

What the f**k is Enzo doing there? You had it, why play act and try and win a foul?

This would be a good time to throw Felix on to try and create something... Oh, wait.

PALMER NOOOO WHAT WAS THAT

FFS PALMER

Palmer is finished.

Only one team is winning this and it isn't going to be us
