Does that work for mobile browsing also? Sorry, I'm using Safari on iPhone.

What's with this advert coming up literally after ever page I click on Villa Talk. Redirects me to the app store every single time even when I click close. When I come back to Villa Talk I'm then on a different page and as soon as I click back to where I was it comes up again. So much so that it's impossible to open a thread or submit a post on mobile.

Really annoying, please fix!

He needs pace and physicality around him though, which is why we need to be starting either N'Zogbia or Traore along with Ayew.

Ashley Young!

Doesn't seem like his real twitter account anyway. Jesus some fans are proper scumbags. Alan has actually been one of our better players, always gives his all and seems like a good bloke!

It's Instagram and I'm pretty sure it is his real account. Sure I've seen him exchanging with Delph on there before. Anyway, hopefully he ignores the hate as he's been good for us this season.

I couldn't watch us on Sat, how were we going forward? Did we actually create chances in this game? I've seen the Ayew sitter and the one Clark nearly got to in the first half.

Btw Sanchez gave the ball away for a half-chance (can't remember what the outcome was but it wasn't for a goal) but people who blame him for that should see that Gana gave him the ball in a ridiculous position.

I'm just gutted at what we've become tbh  ;-(

Shit really? I didn't actually know that. Thanks for letting me know!

Well you're saying the worst teams pick up points here and there...but we're barely doing it

Not a chance. Even the worst teams pick up points here and there.

Massive overreaction.

Mate...we have 5 points from 14 games!!!

His form last season as well - remember that after Sherwood took over?

There were a few games (Liverpool in the semi, West Ham and Everton at home) we were just controlling with slick passing moves and he was at the centre of most of it.

Gil is almost 3 years older than Grealish so he'll be a lot wiser. Grealish will relish when we're on the front foot in games, I know he needs to be a reason why we're on the front foot but we've just not been controlling games. Look at the second half VS Blues - he was unreal and that's because we controlled that 2nd half and were playing in their half, giving him plenty of the ball. Up against PL opposition and we've not been controlling games, nowhere near in fact. He isn't robust enough to keep hold of the ball with no support, when he's got defenders doubling up on him.

You are right though, he has been under performing and that could be partly down to his attitude as well, but I just think there's more to it.

Don't see what Gil has to do with this, no-one is questioning his talent.

Other point - you're right, but people seem to be writing the talent of Grealish off. Way too early to do that and I think he'll have a great career, including England caps.

If you can't see how talented Grealish is, you must not understand football. He's not some kid who's come in and looked good in patches through luck, his talent is blatantly obvious. He is in atrocious form (how many of our players aren't?) but he will obviously come good at some point. Him and Gil will benefit from some pace and power around them. N'Zogbia would be getting picked by me at the moment. He won't give the ball up easily (unlike Sinclair, Agbonlahor etc), is pacey and is tough.

This is just **** embarrassing.

We are so bad it's untrue

Ayew has to know when to release the ball

People were raving about Crespo in the LC VS Southampton. Was he that good? I've only seen him against Stoke.

Shouldn't Neil Taylor be taking the awards now?

We are without doubt, worse without benteke and Delph. 

Gabby on the other hand is absolute shite and we would be no worse off without him, agreed.

One of the worst strikers in the premier league. I can't think of any worse that start regularly.

We miss Benteke massively. Not convinced how much we miss Delph though.

Bennett gets a lot of unfair hate from the little most fans have seen of him.

No-one actually knows whether they can be or not.

Hutton has proved he can do a job at LB, would then be down to whether Remi fancies Bacuna as an RB. I'd much rather those two at FB than Richardson in the lineup though.

Or maybe Hutton LB, Crespo at RB and keep Bacuna for midfield?

Anyone else think his playing style is really unorthodox? Like even in that clip of his injury, the tackle he makes, it's strange that he goes for that with his right foot. Not that it makes him any less of player, it's just weird on the eye.

Gutted :(

I hate international breaks!

Hopefully we can get something here, and think we can. Need to stop Deulofeu, Barkley and Lukaku and do our own thing.
