Really poor in the final third. Poor weight of passing, poor finishing. There's got to be a better way for us to approach teams like this. Because what we are currently doing does not work. Bruno MOTM, closely followed by Burn.

Oh well. Shit happens. Not like we particularly deserve to be infront anyway.

He absolutely should. Even if he misses he still should have.

I can understand why they checked it for so long. But obviously that's a blatant penalty. Dummett last year on Young was similar.

Not sure about that. But I was wrong.

Well done lads. That's the defending we're used to.

How the keeper had the balls to blame anyone else there is incredible.

That fucking goal. Crazy mistake.

Yes and no. I get that it ruins "the moment" but it also it means that the right decision is usually made. There will always be other moments for them to enjoy, thats why we love football.

Funny when it doesn't happen to you. All those lads whipping off their shirts and crying while setting off flares. All that for it to be disallowed.

It's a real shame we don't play Man Utd until after Christmas. Would be just our luck that Ten Haag gets the sack before then.

Fully deserved embarrassing defeat. Unfortunately it's been coming all season. Shocking lack of anything positive from this game. Barnes scoring another aside.

Based on this season alone I'd be more tempted to accept big money thrown at us for Bruno. Would atleast enable us to replace him and upgrade elsewhere also.

Wow. Just one game too far for us playing shit and getting a win it seems.

Well that's a shit start

Anyone made the joke about how we had to play AC Milan, Dortmund and PSG while Villa are literally playing against a team of Young Boys.

He seems angrier than normal this season and it feels like that's affecting his performances. Perhaps a confidence thing after missing so much of last season and not ending it particularly well either. He was actually pretty decent for the first 20 minutes against Wolves, but a couple of bad passes and a foul (that wasn't a foul) that the ref didn't give his way and the game got away from him.

He can play in CM instead, next to Bruno and Tonali, it's all good.

If it was classified as concussion then he has to take 24 - 48 hrs full rest before resuming any training and even then that training may have to be lighter than usual. Not so sure it would be concussion if it was due to a nose issue. But that raises the point of how he would be able to perform or train if his breathing is affected temporarily due to the injury.

How long do we expect this to take? A few weeks? A few months? Does this rumble on until the same time next year?

Other than being better at everything on a football pitch than Longstaff it's also a massive help that Tonali can swap with Bruno at times and allow some fluidity in the middle. We don't have that otherwise.

Once again, we played well for about 35 minutes in total. The first 20 and then the 15 minute period in which Tripper came on and we scored the two goals. The rest of the game we were sloppy in possession and quite passive in defence, whilst also not particularly threatening. Fulham are arguably better than Wolves so we need to do better next week for sure.

Thank fuck for that

Oh that's even better than Schar!!! How he doesn't start over Murphy ffs.

Oh man, Schar should have gone for goal there. The pull back wasn't ever on.
