LC Crystal Palace at home Wednesday 29th Oct 745pm

[Charly]

In fairness he did ok for the first half an hour but he's ran out of gas. He can barely control the ball now. It's frightening that we're one injury away from him being in the first team, as bad as that is we can do with it not getting worse.

It been the case since Matip left.

We did ****all about it for ages.

I find it a bit annoying to be honest.

Imagine him with Konate in the league.

[BootRoom]

Leoni would have been playing in this game. I still can't get over the bad luck of a season-ending injury on his debut.

In fairness looked great. And we got ****ed by palace in not getting Guehi at the last minute. Definitely need one in January.

[peterbread]

Do you think this is just a formation for the game or a potential change for Villa as well?

I’m not a fan of 3 at the back but honestly wouldn’t mind it right now. It might get the best out of some players. But I imagine it will be the usual come Saturday.

[danperkins]

6 losses out of 7 is mental. I wonder when was the last time that has happened?

[baitman]

Chiesa working hard but getting no support.

Rio, got a touch of the greedy *******s about him, wants to be famous rather than teamwork.

[Tatterdemalion]

This could get ugly in the second half.

You mean uglier?

Morrison has been the same at times on the other wing; had a chance to play Ramsay into space but chose to go glory-hunting instead.

[Exiled_red]

Game over. We don't look like scoring 1 goal, let alone 2.

We just don't have the goal threat either in the side or on the bench to score 2 goals, more likely Palace will score again

It’s a terrible look. That’s why playing this team is such a risk. It writes more headlines. If we did this but were in otherwise good form it doesn’t matter.

Feels like we are in free fall right now. Confidence on the floor. The pressure goes up with every defeat. Arne has a big few weeks ahead. Villa, Real, City…

He needs a couple of massive performances and wins out of those.

[peterbread]

You can see how low the team is out there. A real lack of confidence is showing. He’s made a change and gone more defensive and not committing many forward but they look lost and when it gets forward it’s just the 3 trying to do it all on their own.

The second half will be a very difficult watch.

Never

Villa, Real, City, 2 weeks in Dubai, a nice quiet Xmas at home

yup he chose to bin this off and rest big lads but pressure piled on him after this. A few more losses after this and he could get the boot.

[Buzzo]

Mateta coming on to partner Sarr.

He must fancy getting a few. A good game to get the confidence in front of goal up.
