Good plan, everyone on here knows only my opinion is correct, it just takes a long while to convince some people
How long will it take you to convince El Ghastly to take his mittens off..

Its nothing to do with how we set up. We've been close in a lot of away games this season and very unfortunate. Palace, Arsenal, Spurs all come to mind immediately.Well I do -
Home
Played 12. W5 D2 L5 GD -5 Pts 15
Away
Played 13 W2 D2 L9 GD -10 Pts 8
On home form we are 14th in the PL
Away we are 19th.
So yes I do think our away form is significantly different.
That said if we could get most of the 4 wins needed at home then we could still be safe. What I’m annoyed about is just not giving ourselves a chance away by being far too open and easy to score against.
If Reo had still been here we'd never have got relegated in the first place. Fact.Come on. You know Reo-Cokers first touch was as good as Super Jack's.

We’ve had to shore up the defence by sticking another centre half in. Alas, it’s not working. The PL experience in the back 5 is negligible, we look like frightened rabbits when under attack. Not helped by the equally total lack of experience in every other department on the field. We’ve put them in then hoped it would work and it hasn’t. Not a particularly professional strategy but one we’ve seen many times before.

We dont win away from home because we are a newly promoted team. Losing to a newly promoted team at home is absolutely disgusting, would you be happy if we stayed up and Leeds, Tesco or Brentford took points from Villa Park next season? Its mentality of the opposition which prevent us from winning away. They're losing, getting hammered, then they look at who they are playing and they're like hang on a minute, we cant let aston villa leave here with points, and they go up a gear.
Apart from United, because they're shite.

Still taking a few a long time with Hourihane SD but I'm sure Reo Joker retiring to the MLS at 28 was proof enough, was it AC Milan he said wanted him and he went to Real Bolton then Canada and failed miserably.
One person who no longer posts on here actually bet me he's the long term Captain of Villa and England , needless to say, he never paid the £100 .
My criticism of the 3 choices at the back is the reliance on their pace and athleticism.
I don't know if its defeatist or a smart acknowledgement of our lack of quality. It's almost immediately conceding and acknowledging we're going to be breached but maybe we can recover from the breach / mistake with pace. Are we already set up to fail because we havent worked on the basics of shape and pressing and remaining patient and solid?
I thought Reo-Coker ended up at Napoli for a bit. Wasn’t the greatest but he’d walk into this midfield
Can anyone tell me why Drinkwater didnt feature yesterday.
Gone from automatic inclusion to not in squad, and I dint see any report of injury.
. I don't get, however, how our defence, especially with three centre-halves, are so vulnerable to a counter-attack, they seem to be all over the place with people running at them with the ball.
