They should've sold Salah and bid for Tielemans and Kalvin Phillips.

I think we can.

Liverpool lose again, Chelsea draw again, we get Leicester at home and we gift them 4 goals. Just classic Villa.

They all look finished Van Dyke stopped caring over a year ago.

I thought Ings was out for weeks?

Frustrating player. Has talent. Not sure he's entirely cut out for the demands of this particular league. Ultimately hasn't really been an upgrade on Traore in terms of combined goals and assists, especially considering he cost almost twice as much.

You have to wonder do we lose that game today if we had got those other transfer targets in.

Whenever opportunity knocks, Villa fail to get off the sofa. I fear this loss has put any Europe hopes to bed.

He plays at such a high level which makes today seem so confounding. He seemed unfocused today. We can't forget that he's still quite young and in his first campaign in this league. I expect a bounce back next week.

Looking forward to more insights

At home to Leicester City with a chance to go top half and really get in the Europe mix, Liverpool losing their game and we cough up 4 goals and hand them the 3 points with our best wishes and a cherry on top. Absolutely pathetic defensive display and some other noticeable deficiencies as well. Incredibly frustrating waste of some really fluid and bright attacking buildup play. Buendia immense today. Watkins a mixed bag in the end because he missed two more sitters. Bailey just basically impotent again. Digne, Mings, Moreno and Kamara all wearing clown shoes today. Embarrassing. I like fullbacks who defend well first and foremost, so wtf. I actually thought Moreno was excellent prior to his mistake. Just wondered why Digne got the start. Coutinho looked good other than his Tonev attempts at goal, just sad. Coutinho may have just earned a start at Ramsey's expense. Luiz wasn't great today. Kamara an absolute nightmare. Once again these players prove to be unworthy of top half status. The streak of weak mindedness has yet to be expunged by Emery. We are still our own worst enemy. Until we learn how to get out of our own way and seize the moment, we will flail around at mid table. Such a wasted opportunity today. This result will be one of the standout results of this campaign, I'm afraid. I'm not sure what the answer is other than more signings. But as we saw with Moreno today, even that isn't the end all. We have to shirk our loser mentality. Bitter pill to swallow today.

Get Duran on for Bailey and play a 442

I called a psychic hotline

Need a big man in the box for that. Duran for Bailey plzz

Guendouzi would've been useful today..

This is a nightmare

Tete a snappy little player

Second half thread, nice.

Question answered.

4-4-2 with Duran, let's go.

Kamara having an absolute nightmare to the point where he might need to come off. Far too casual from Mings, Digne, Kamara, Martinez, and Luiz hasn't been great either. We got lucky on our second goal...we probably should be losing 1-3.

You could see it coming a mile away.

"Aston, we have a problem."

What

Buendia the sun in the Villa galaxy
