If we’re 2 up at ht I’m getting the away shirt with “Ralfie” on the back

Looks like being an “open” game

The only funny thing is not letting him leave on loan or transfer.

Yeah it's great to see people getting a chance. Jones was only in as a last resort but he did well. Bit disapointed not to see him in next game. There's a confidence thing with Donny that's probably behind the scenes. When your team are shit and you spot lack of confidence you a rent going to try someone in that position to build their confidence. What you'd do is recognise someone who made and immediate impact with massive %@#$&!s and get them feeding cavani to create and obvious and aggressive path to goal. Get a cushion then give donny some game time..Bruno needs to up his game but at least he has game time.

Hope Elanga starts where he left off and doesn't bottle it.

The Villa fans will be buzzing tonight because of the signings earlier this week. They are going to be noisy early doors.

It’s essential we don’t give them an early gift.

Fair enough.

Attacking options look rank atm. Lingard and Mata on the bench

We actually will look like world beaters for 20 mins with no end product. The players will then drop their standards and realise it’s hard work to keep working like that for 90 mins…. THATS when we give them a gift

Not sure that's how snooker works

we've already got an extra forward on the pitch (and you forgot sancho). should have started maguire or jones ahead of cavani, but still....

If you're a midfielder in the PL, playing against us must be like a weekend off.

We should play to our strengths with a 4-6 formation.

Think the U23s play city later on aswell. Probably why none of them were called up and use two GK on the bench

Is Martial injured or has Ralf just completely £#%&!ed him off?

AWB would be getting absolute pelters for that

Can barely summon the energy for this. Feeling very disillusioned with it all tbh. Need some positivity in our play again.

100 corners for us this season and 0 goals
