Didn't realise Villa had lost 17 times this season, thats mental.

Table when he first came in: Table now: Table if the season started when he first came in:

Biggest compliment I can pay him, is that until recently I'd have always wanted Manq in ahead of him, but when I looked at the teamsheet yesterday I was content he was playing. Still want Trippier back ASAP, but he's dependable.

Everton loss and Burnley draw tomorrow would be nice.

He's just so smart and commanding in the way he deals with every situation, the amount of times yesterday he held off his man before playing a switch to the wing was class, he manages passes that we haven't seen for years, but they also seem the simple choice. Like the ball into Almiron before the disallowed goal, it's was a 10 yard pass into the box, but I've not seen that sort of thing in about a decade. He's tactically switched on to the game situation too, there moment just before he was subbed off in the 88th minute, where he got the ball on the edge of our box and had men around him, and was being hassled and easily could have gone down to get the free-kick, but instead he managed to get 10 yards further up the pitch before allowing the foul, allowing us to slow the game down with the FK, and mean that should possession transfer, Wolves are deeper then they'd want to be. Utter dreamboat.

Absolute baller. This is him getting up to speed with the league too

Might me unfashionable but though Wood player well today, linked up the wide players, hustled and jostled there defenders all game, and deserved his pen and won it well, and could have had a second too.

Get the fuck in. Class performance, class result. Wolves barely had a sniff, would have though we where the team in 6th. Might me unfashionable but though Wood player well today, linked up the wide players, hustled and jostled there defenders all game, and deserved his pen and won it well, and could have had a second too. Bruno is just sexy, he dictated that whole game, what an absolute baller.

Not going to lie, thought we'd player alright, made a few really decent movements and balls, and controlling the game, just lacking that final ball.

Might put a bet on him scoring now

When did Maitland-Niles go to Roma?

Love that.

Annoying that.

Would rather a draw tbh.

That Everton back 3 is horrific

They get given the list of 10 players from someone at MOTD, and then rank them based on that list, its why both have the same 10 players.

When he's on form he's an absolute genius, and is class on the eye, but in games like today where he's not really getting the rub of the green, and getting niggled at constantly, he doesn't really have a solution (admittedly not having decent runners around him doesn't help him) other then running into lanes where he can get dispossessed easily, and when we're breaking and have committed players forward that turnover in play can see us getting exposed, like today. ASM seemed to love the freedom of there not really being a plan under Bruce, as in a way suits his play style, as I don't even think he knows what he's going to do in a given moment, but since Howe came in and there is a structure in place now he's not really been as effective. So while he's our best player he's fine but if he continually can't adapt to Howe's gameplan, then it wouldn't surprise me if in a season or two's time we move on from him, if he can adapt however he has the world at his feet.

Thats what I think did us, straight after there second we went a bit high in an attempt to get back on level terms, and that played right into there hands, so in that aspect can say it was Howe's fault.

May be my shite memory, but though he did the double sub after that? I may be wrong I kind of tuned out halfway through that half

Feel like the result was more to do with that 15 minutes of madness where the players positioning & composure went to pot for no real reason then anything Howe did. Although Shelvey at CB was weird, that said we didn't concede when he was playing there
