I agree with sirdennis that calling us plucky losers suggests we sat back and defended to the death. . UTV
I thought we played well, but ultimately we're just losers. We need to be better in front of goal and a lot, lot better at the back.To me Plucky losers mean we have a right good go but ultimately lose 3-0 as everyone bar optimistic Villa fans expected.
That's how I see plucky losers just like the Spurs game first season back.
Lot of slaps on the back but .......no cigar
We played some nice football with 2 upfront. Much better without wide players and SLM and Luiz dominated until they got tried.I thought we played well, but ultimately we're just losers. We need to be better in front of goal and a lot, lot better at the back.
Bad defending cost us all three goals, we missed great chances in front of goal as well.
Tuanzebe not as good as maybe some of us thought.Keep making the mistakes we made today and we will be relegation fodder. It didn't need a £90m striker to score against us today. Mings and Tuenzebe looked poundshop at best.

We played reasonably well but some reall sloppy defensive play let them score 3 easy goals and we’ve somehow been thrashed 3-0. Mings had a shocker but most of the others were decent in all honesty. It still feels like we’re trying to find our feet without Grealish, despite playing ok for most of the game we weren’t able to put them to the sword at any moment whereas they had the quality to take advantage of moments in the game against us.
Hopefully with a fully fit and available squad we will be a decent beast. However short term there are some tough fixtures still to come.
Just back. We had a good go first half good pressing but then that should be the minimum expectation. Ultimately we were a level below them.
Its going to be a long hard season I'm afraid.
We lacked that magic spark
