Villa (H) Match Thread

Half time we've got to look at getting Cissokho off and another body into midfield

Kelly to RB, Johnson to LB

Coutinho off for Allen and I'd be seriously considering Gerrard off for Lucas too.

Thank God for Skrtel.......the only rock we have at the back right now.

Need to get Lucas on and go three in the middle - no point having four attacking players if they cant get the ball.

[Exiled_red]

Coutinho with a shot blocked

[dizzycat]

i think when rogers gets it wrong he gets it really wrong. Hopefully he's learnt from what happened at hull and does what is necessary at half time

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Playing Gerrard In the DM role will cost us.

It already is.

[Chazza]

Worst half of football I have seen from us in a long while.

[Leyton388]

Sunderland have mugged us for Mignolet.

[RichC]

Worst half of football I have seen from us in a long while.

It's been terrible

[Camble]

Take Gerrard off and put Lucas on. Absolutely ****e performance so far.

[Phoenix07]

The team appears to have celebrated the Dunkin Donuts deal going on this horror show.

[McDermotX]

Boos at HT I suspect. Been a while.

[Tribute]

I'd give Johnson away for free if I could. He's been ****e for months... and his attitude stinks

This game is showing our vulnerabilities, defensively (defence and holding midfield) really isn't good enough, Cissokho is a poor player, Toure isn't anywhere near what we thought he was at the start of the season. Gerrard isn't a defensive midfielder and Mignolet is a good shot stopper but really needs to work on other aspects of his game.

Coutinho seems to have regressed this season, and some of his decision making in this game has been very poor.

IMO we need to bring Lucas on for Coutinho push Gerrard up a bit and get the supply to Suarez, Sturridge and Sterling who have barely been in the game so far.

Yes yes yes
