Villa v city live

Well that all felt very familiar, same old story

We don't have time to wait for RVN to be a premier league manager. He needs to make subs at 60 mins not 80 mins. He needs to start our best attacking player and maybe have some balls to try dropping vardy for a couple of games.

So poor from Soumare again, totally anonymous, only 2 tackles looking at the stats for the entire game. We need a CDM to play with Winks that puts pressure on the ball and wins tackles. Ndidi and Soumare are not doing the job.

Add in no premier league quality defenders, we are relegation fodder this season. At least we are only 3 points off Everton so we can hope for a bit of luck 🤞

Our best hope of staying up is a significant points deduction for Everton. Unfortunately it’s more likely going to be applied to us….

Same old story played ok,produced very little

On planet did Top think that hiring a managerial novice based on 4 games at United would be a good idea given our predicament and desperate need for an experienced manager that can actually organise a defence? Moyes for example…….

That said - I’m not sure anyone can help James Justin anymore.

I really really hate this club and what these owners have turned it into

He did have a full season at PSV, and won trophies with them, in his defence.

But he needs to improve very quickly

As for the owner and Rudkin... For the love of god please leave!

That doesn’t tell us much. PSV are a big fish in a pub league compared to this division. It’s absolutely insane he’s cutting his teeth in the PL with us

For me it was so obvious, an absolute no-brainer - get Moyes in, defend, get some points, stay in league. Fulfil the short term need.

Instead I can only think that Top/Rudders are stupidly trying to look beyond the immediate requirement, to get Ruud in as someone who might re-establish us as one of the best of the rest and challenging for Europe? Insane.

One of the interesting bits of info from John Percy is that apparently Cooper was sacked because Top felt Leicester should be higher in the table than 16th. Which given how awful that squad of players is tells you everything

Penny for his thoughts now…..
