Aston Villa (a) Premier League

[Kenneth]

Yep, some very good and some very bad, and Trent, who was just moderately bad all the way through.

[chadrtc]

I really hope we get a manager who can tech them to defend; because this **** has gone on long enough.

[rudedog]

Where were the VAR lines tonight?

[Buzzo]

Decent game. End of term vibes.

Again scoring multiple goals away suggests the issues aren’t up front. Midfield was brutal after the subs - we need to have more than just Endo as a specialist CDM.

Macca looked done at the end. Dons form has fallen off a cliff since the turn of the year.

What a frustrating game, looked like we would see it out then they make the same mistakes in games to give away goals. And the change from Endo to Alexis at 6 doesn’t work so why keep doing it. Endo looked fine. Sometimes subs are made for no reason.

Also did they check Nunez goal for offside. Am I missing something or was it a close one, albeit probably offside, but how quick was the check compared to Villas that looked very similar.

[Exiled_red]

Still need a DM, we were fine when Endo was on, but when he went off and MacAllister went there, just didn't work. We need a first choice DM with Endo as back up

[Tatterdemalion]

At least he might get players in that can play the system. It worked for klopp until a couple of seasons back yet he's persisted with weak players. Poor signings and aging bodies.

True - no room for loyalty in that world, though.

His casual little outside of the boot passes rather than a proper simple pass are frustrating and his gave some of those away and the one at the end that just rolled out of play.

[Buzzo]

Trent is so frustrating. So much talent, but his application is shocking. If he was as good as he thinks he is he’d be some player. Needs to remember you have to earn it every time you step on the pitch.

Totally sums him up. It’s attitude.

No way should he be vice captain. Best he ever played was when he had the likes of Hendo and Milner giving him ****e all game keeping him on his toes.

I hope he ****s off.

[Irishnev]

We are a team running of fumes, physically and emotionally. I genuinely think it’s good that he’s going, we need new ideas and a new voice. Not sure if that’s Slot but I’ll be behind him from day 1. A couple of players in key positions would life is immeasurably, it’s back to the old days of needing a “proper” DM. Once Fab got into the team he was transformative, we need another one in there. I’d sell Diaz before Nunez tbh, he works hard but he destroys moves. We need a killer in front of goal and I think one more CB

The main issues aren't up front, we shouldn’t be conceeding 3 goals like that (and to be fair it could have been more, Alisson made a world class save and they missed an absolute sitter.

That said I thought both Salah and Diaz were largely poor tonight to be honest, Gakpo was the best of the 3, and the only forward who scored, other goals were GK howler and a defender from a set piece. I thought the link up play was poor from the front 3 and more attacking midfielders as well as the subs.

CDM, CB, CF

We need a spine.
