You’d have been content with a defeat at home then, given how imperative our home form is if we’re going to achieve what we need to? As I said, missing their best 2 players. Good point but I’d have been very disappointed to lose that game.

He offers literally none, though. Ever. Even his recollections of his playing career are rubbish.

He’s an absolutely terrible pundit, one of the very worst of the regulars in truth.

No one is moaning. If I’m honest I don’t really think the performance tells us much other than the players are giving 100% - which on reflection is reassuring after last week. We’re a very good side at home and very adept at picking up points there, no question. I don’t think that’s ever been questioned.

I didn’t mean his form, obvs. He was limping most of the game and he’s just back from Norway after attending a friend’s funeral.

A good result but if I’m honest I would’ve been very disappointed with a defeat giving who they had missing and Haaland clearly not 100%. Everton a massive game for us next weekend.

If he’s worth £15m we’re all fucked.

The most annoying thing is, most of us called it well over 2 years ago that we couldn’t rely on him as a first or second choice striker. They’re just bloody amateurs with this stuff.

It’s not a model of capitalism though. Clubs aren’t allowed to spend what they want for a start.

That keeper’s been paid, surely?

Yeah and set pieces should be goalscoring opportunities. I realise we’ve forgotten that here.

Did it with his right in the second half yesterday.

Already answered that one to be fair.

And to be fair brother they sunk like a stone after him, even with Rafa. If Ancelotti is a mid table manager without the right players that goes for every manager in history.

Who Guehi? We watched a different game mind, Man U could easily have been 3-0 up at half time.

You don’t honestly believe that do you? I have no doubt Ancelotti has this team doing far better for what it’s worth. Pointless debate mind.

Yeah he’s a winner. Villa very fortunate to have a manager of that calibre.

We said this a year ago when Brighton turned us over though. Nothing gets done about it. It’s 4–3-3 or nothing.

If you’re Isak or Bruno would you be happy with that window or the continuation of the general inability of (or disinterest in) the team keeping the ball? Both will be on the phone to their agents.

Sadly it’s looked like that all season. A lot of them look not arsed.

Either they’ll get their move or we’ll see the type of disinterest in our top players that we’ve seen so far this season.

I’m behind him too but we’ve clearly spent the last year going backwards. And I know you’d be blowing balloons up if we finished 6th but that will lose us our best players.

Playing our best midfielder would be a start mind.

Away from home he just can’t figure it out can he. Just a mess from start to finish.
