Smal

need to watch that again but looked a fairly obvious foul throw to me

he has completed 28/32 passes

I feel like Krafth having so much of the ball (has made 30% more passes than any of our other players so far) is a bit of an issue. He’s not been giving it away but he’s certainly not Fabian Schar either. Midfield needs to offer more. Bruno’s barely shown for the ball at all.

straight off the training ground

enjoyed Barnes’ performance so far.

not enjoying watching Anderson playing for these. Should’ve sold them someone else.

yep, important we play a strong side and try and get some form and momentum into the team after a poor couple of opening performances

great team

I really like Tino but he was poor in all of the pre-season games I watched and has offered zero offensively in the first two games. We could really do with hanging on to Tripps this season.

we looked better when we stopped the 4-4-2 stuff. Trippier also understands the position and role in the team far more than Livramento at the moment. Makes a big difference.

been so much better since we got some technical players on the field

after such a dominant physical display last weekend Joelinton has looked slow and knackered all game today . What have we been doing to them in training?

not been impressed by Kelly here

We started well the first twenty minutes. We’re just always going to struggle to grab hold of games with our lack of control and technical ability. The PL is full of good teams and managers now, and they’ve been recruiting better than us recently.

they’re the only ones with any talent on the ball tbf. Trippier can add to that, as could Hall.

would help our play in general

just want Trippier back

Think I’d sub Barnes on at HT if Gordon’s going to play like this.

Gordon just hasn’t looked mentally at it in the first couple of games

passed our CL injuries curse on to Villa

he's their best player by absolutely miles. He definitely shouldn't be playing up front though

I'm looking forward to using this one all season tbh

I think Minteh's going to be great and we'll regret the transfer massively but boy he has shown his current limitations massively today . Looks absolutely goosed as well.

has Minteh never played football in the rain before? . Seems to be struggling with basic ball control.

I dunno why I just really want him to go down a right wing conspiracist rabbit hole after this. Think it just feels right for him.
