Because that's "the sub" Smith does. I'm getting pretty **** tired of it to be honest. It's like rugby or something. It gets to 65-75 mins and he makes that sub regardless. Is he watching? El Ghazi was pretending to be hurt the other day sorry everyone. Exactly the same as Burnley at home earlier in the season.

You think he's better than Grealish?

He's fine in CM. Absolutely fine. The team may look worse because we'll have to have a donkey like Trez or Hourihane on the left.

I don't think he's made a mistake yet. I'd compare him to Pukki I think, very similar styles. He's feeding off scraps and making things happen. Such a satisfying goal that. Tough to top a diving header.

He's better than Green, but worth about £4m. We shit the bed badly this summer. Suso out.

Not the worst, but is he the stupidest player I've ever seen at villa? Yes. Yes he is.

I thought he, as usual, was the only one other than Jack who tries to get it down and play. Lost it a couple of times on his own and a couple of times with others not wanting the ball. Targett once definitely ran away from it but he'd already played the ball for him. If we go down, and he stays with McGinn, we just need a large man to play midfield with then and he'll look brilliant I'm certain. I've got no faith in Suso to buy a good usable player so I'd rather keep him than sell for £15-25m.

I agree it's a great chance for three points. They'll also look at it as the game they get back on track. Without Jack they'll beat us by at least 2.

He was injured in the first half and more or less hobbled round the whole match. That's what that dross FK was about I think. He couldn't lift his legs, run or kick properly. If needs be leave him out at Leicester. Newcastle away. That's the game. That's the game I think McGinn will be back, and that's the game we need Jack firing. That's the game we're going down if we don't win. --- Should add if he's done any real damage we're down any way. Do club definitely want Smith next season? If not they could sack him now and start the rework behind the scenes.

Did you not see Silva and Gundogan stood just inside meaning they had to come narrower every single time?

Really pleased for the fans that have gone we've got a goal.

Go on then...? City are quite good you know.

Nah that's the other guy, the one who writes desciples.

They aren't worth it then.

Don't care what a website says as a guess. That site is good for checking what people paid, not predicting what someone will pay. Who is paying us £11m+ for Marv or Trezeguet? £14m+ for Targett? Over £20m for **** Wes. Luiz probably the one actually, his value has probably gone up some. The main difference going down this time to last time is we've got players on lower wages hopefully. It's still a lot of players no one else will want.

This is it. End of debate. I can't see how anyone can say yes these players were successes. Aside from Christian Purslow lying at the villa trust AGM that is, they're all probably worth less than we paid I'm afraid boss. Dean has, and continues to make mistakes along the way, but the team is just not good enough. Only a John McGinn miracle will keep us up.

Hello.

What do you think a better manager would do with these players? I agree heartily with the underlined.

And 20 if we'd had a striker

We had a decent start and I firmly believe if we'd had Samatta all season we'd be at least 12th or 13th now. Confidence dried up when we got nothing week after week from games we deserved points in. Then the bad performances followed. Smith has been as predictable as he always has at Villa apart from one formation change, which he doesn't know how to play anyway. The players signed in the summer were **** crap value and we put our hands in a man who just didn't have a clue in Suso. That's what has killed us even with a manager who probably doesn't have the nous for the top flight. The only glimmer is McGinn coming back, that he can come up with something herculean, starting with a win at Newcastle in his first start.

Will you leave the site when we go down? Please.

Samatta is a better striker. Bowen is a good player but not worth the fee and apparent £80k wages he's on.

Brighton, just like Norwich, look good every team I see them. Chelsea team at Bournemouth looks weak and Ings being dropped, woah. If West Ham lose this today it'll knock stuffing out of them.

Thank god we've already got 6 off Norwich. Can't remember last full game I watched of theirs where they didn't deserve at least a point. Probably us trashing them!

Not arsed if he plays or not. I'd probably play Reina as we need him and the defence in as good sync as we can. It wouldn't be as big a travesty as when O'Neill dropped Guzan whose whole season was that competition. Nyland has stumbled out from the reserves of reserves into the team and back out again. Would cement his entertaining cult status if he was to play and we win though.
