Livramento has been awful to be honest. Saka is left footed, just don't let him cut in

Yes, he is a big miss. And Isak is clearly not fit. He didn't press at all first half. Guess been told to conserve energy because there is no sub to bring.

We don't have legs in the midfield for it. Jorginho and Rice are so press resistant and Miley and Longstaff are not players who win their duels there.

This Arsenal team destroyed Liverpool pretty much the same way. They are 1-2 class above us atm.

We really don't have an out ball from the back. Miley and Longstaff are not open and and asking for the ball, so Bruno is easy target. Botman's switch to Almiron might be only one. Tino, Miley and Sven have been awful.

They are so good with pressing.

Gordon can't even run anymore. Why doesn't Eddie react?

I really dont understand how Longstaff has been coached through his career. Seems still like he is afraid of the ball and that is way makes way too many mistakes with it.

Why did he rush out for that? He made himself small there and there was clear risk of straight red

Longstaff again awful in possession.

First goal was partly his fault tho…

I dont get this. Our squad is perhaps just about top 6-7 material. But nor with half the team out. Winning a trophy is a big ask anyway. Think they knew we will drop a bit and bounce back next year.

Our problem already durng last season was slow defensive line, now Burn is not faster than last year and midfield of Miley-Longstaff-Bruno has to be the slowest ever in the PL. Howe should have sorted it out already.

Bad result, but thankfully seems like we have a bench and we can score goals again. Livramento has to start in place of Burn from now on. 100%

I think it was Burn who lost it?

Why Howe is sticking with Burn? He is so fcking slow!

Our game plan was excellent especially first half. Trippier was following Moreno all the way up top and not letting them play out, with no winger that side it was a right choice of course. And our CBs following their men up to midfield. And when we had the ball, excellent deep runs from Murphy and Longstaff especially. Overloaded that flank and Miley also made lost of runs to the channel forcing their midfield to run deep. That high line was a suicide yesterday.

Livramento was a game changing sub. Bailey was destroying Burn that side, but Tino handled him ok.

That is the reason why we upgraded Longstaff with Tonali. He really is not good enough with the ball.

Livramento on. That is a good sub.

Looks like offside that, but by a inch maybe.

They are overloading Burn's side all the time. Need to help him better. Miley is dead tired already.

I think Longstaff has been ok. He makes runs from the deep which are causing serious problems for Villa. Tielemans is defending like my granny there. Not interested one bit.

And there it is

Kamara has 5 fouls already. How the fuck he has not got a yellow yet?
