That was such a good half, not necessarily due to the quality, but just due to how competitive we are, we're competing for every ball, getting high up the pitch and creating chances, if we end up losing I know its not due to a lack of effort, and thats all I can ask for, it's literally night and day to a couple months back. Both team are creating a good game too, Villa have a good team, and always seem like they could be a threat. This feels like it should be a game between teams competing for Europa League places.

Nice that we had a good half with ASM barely featuring, showing that there's more to our set up. Been impressed with Trippier obviously,Willock, and Fraser down the right. Joelinton yet again playing well. Tactics overall are spot on, just need to keep an eye on us getting leggy late on. Villa will get better imo, so that could be when it's ideal for Bruno to come on.

You cant be unhappy with that. Not every opponent is going to turn up and be shit, it's been a very competitive game. We're both doing our parts and it can go either way. 
If we do lose from here it'll be disappointing but it won't be through lack of effort.

Hopefully they can’t keep a lid on ASM as well as they have been. Shame for Wood like, he’s played OK but missed a chance for an assist and shanked the shot instead. 

Can’t believe he didn’t play the pass to Fraser

Often lights it up when the opposition start flagging.  A quiet first half is not unusual for him.  If anything, this has been one of his better efforts.

If Fraser and Wood were slightly better we would be so dangerous. 

 

I don't think it's fair to include Fraser here, at least not based on his performance today. He's had two decent crosses into dangerous areas and was positioning himself for a massive opportunity if Wood had played him through instead of going for the shot.
