Would have taken a point beforehand, need to win on Wednesday. Not a fan of Sels or Diame in this side, Gayle isn't great either, certainly not for the money we spent on him.

Still far from convinced with Sels, have to close your eyes every time the ball goes anywhere near him.

Why persist with Diame and Gayle?

Villa create so many chances in the games I have seen, and this is what most Villa fans say. You would imagine they will eventually start taking them, with the strikers they have at this level. Have a feeling we will struggle in this one.

If Mitrovic plays I would like to see Perez just off him as he always does better with Mitrovic. Drop Diame back in place of colback then we are there. No way would Rafa play a midfield of Shelvey and Diame Shelvey and Hayden then. With Perez off Mitrovic. Good as we can go I reckon Diane and Perez have both been poor so far this season, if either of them are dropped then they can have no complaints. As it is a way from home, I would expect Diame to get the nod.

£20 for his book as well.

Villa fans on their forum think we will go there and attack them, which will suit them better. If anything I expect it to be the other way around. This rivalry between both clubs seems to be getting bigger as well, their forum is slating us. ?

Happy with no Perez, Diame has been poor for us so far, but think he would be better suited to playing off Mitrovic or Murphy.

Can understand the need to give Murphy a game, but would have been an ideal opportunity for Mitrovic to get more game time, and build his confidence.

Would be surprised if Atsu and Mitrovic didn't start tbh, and can't see Ritchie playing. Where did you hear this team from?

Expecting a scrappy game and performance, considering the likely wholesale changes, we could have the majority of the team playing with each other for the first time.

From listening to the match and reading reports it seems complacency was evident within the players. Despite the disappointing result, the fact that it has happened and can now be addressed should ensure Rafa sorts it out and it doesn't happen again. Hopefully bounce back quickly, although a couple of really difficult games coming up.

The major concern that still exists is that when we go behind we look completely incapable of turning the match around, or even grinding out draws.

Villa away and Norwich at home, not a certainty by any means.

Sounds like an entirely careless performance, needed some rockets earlier. This squad still has a bit to go. A lot of people felt that complacency would creep in, and it certainly seems that way.

Our home from is a bit of a concern, we look like we have no idea how to break a team down.

Gouffran warming up, surely Mitrovic should be bought on now.

Not necessarily. Wolves conceded four in the last 20 mins in their last game. Patience. Our fans won't last till the last 20 minutes though, if we don't score early, we will struggle and the fans will get nervous and edgy.

Diame has been poor for us so far, offers very little.

Need to make changes at half time, this is so poor.

That complacency we feared is evident so far, all over the place.

Chelsea versus Liverpool tonight, could be quite high scoring, quite the opposite to when Rafa and Mourinho were in charge.

Think the player rotation will likely help avoid this as well. Would expect Yedlin and Lazaar to start.

Think it was because of his relationship or lack of one with Mourinho, plus Liverpool his Liverpool had beaten Chelsea in he champions league on a couple of occasions. The thing is he did great at Chelsea, they were struggling at the time and he got them 3rd and won the Europa league.

Why does there have to be anything wrong? Hasn't even been on the bench yet, despite being fully fit having played for Ireland?
