That was a slog. As with many games this last year I left villa park thinking we hadn't given everything. Ok 1st half followed by a poor 2nd, thank god Leeds were dreadful. Too lethargic, too many long balls to no one and sloppy passes all round.
Onomha seems to be getting a lot of stick but in truth he wasn't any worse than Hourihane normally is. He could go on to be a very good player but no one will ever convince me we'd not have been better giving Callum O'Hare the game time this year instead of doing spurs a favour. Defence did ok, Chester motm for me. Whelan was much better than Tuesday but Jedinak is 10 times the player. Jack again looked the only one with any spark, great cross for the goal as well. Grabban was poor bar his goal. I can see why he's never settled anywhere or made it in the premier league. Snodgrass is way off the boil and looks knackered frankly. He needs a rest. For Kodjia it's all about getting minutes, he'll hopefully be back to Jimmy danger mode by the play offs.
We only seem able to raise ourselves for the big games currently. Hopefully this means we'll smash the play but performances like that will see us back in this league next season. I looked at that bench and bar Adomah there was no one who could come on and freshen things up. Surely Davis, RHM or O'Hare are worth a run out now we're guaranteed the play offs and not really in contention for automatic. I've given up completely on Hogan, how he failed to get his shot away when. 1 on 1 I'll never know. We've been completely robbed by Brentford unfortunately.
