Sibierski

We don’t train on passing around the box, been clear now for 18 months.

Sick of Tonali. Absolute spanner.

Rough challenge that near the box.

Dark arts on show here. Can’t fault it.

Bailey been a proper 0/10 sub. Like Villa playing with 10 men Should help us.

Want to see Wissa alongside Wolte more when chasing games.

Change of both wingers, get Wissa LW please.

Ah Barnes man

What the fuck was that Think was frustration that he hasn’t got the pace over him. Get Elanga on that side.

Joelinton injured from playing too much. Hall you fear will follow soon. Occasional knock elsewhere that stretches team. We have to make a signing.

Get him off. This is a rough watch.

Playing him till he breaks, wonderful.

Hopefully we get an early goal 2nd half, fans up and we can suffocate Villa. They will be leggy 2nd half, so we need to get level and be in a position to take advantage.

Felt the attack had to be same after midweek because they did so well, but after 25 mins I was wrong. Legs not there, Joelinton is on burnout (again), Tonali poor with the ball (again). When you got those two in midfield like this and an attack that looks leggy, it’s rough. Ramsey / Elanga have to on at HT. Would say Wolte too for Wissa because he hasn’t shown anything, but happy to give it 10.

We just have no midfielder / attacker, who can inject pace into an attack with a dribble or pass. Literally Hall is our best, but he’s coming out LB and needs to pass it. Everyone else can’t think fast or are one dimensional (exceptional when that dimension is on).

Not ideal, but take being 1-0 down how the middle part of that half went. This is where our bench needs to show its value or we confirm the summer buys were a mess. Ramsey / Elanga / Wolte. All different profiles to whats out there.

For a poacher, it feels like Wissa is nearly all the time in the wrong place.

Think Miley RB and Ramsey on may be needed second half. Possibly Elanga for some fresh legs in attack.

Another worldie by Miley. Anything this kid can’t do? Need to see him in goal

Get to half time just at 1-0 please. We’re a mess.

Miley has put in some great balls.

Didn’t touch him He stretched his leg out and caught him. He knew what he was doing as he wasn’t near the ball to win it with that action.

That’s a red card for Joe. He’s lost his head.

Already feels like the legs in the attack isn’t there :/ Which is alarming.

It’s soon as we stop pressing. We’re such a shit side when ‘in shape’ because we have a big gap between defence and midfield, so it’s always an easy ball on. We have to press, that’s it with this squad.
