Bit of a tale of 2 halves there. Both teams could have won it. Villa looked really good early and could have been 2 or 3 up.
Yeah first 15 mins we were poor, but we built into the game.

Considering who we have out at the moment, that's a good point for us but we had some chances to take all 3.

Getting Summerville back at RWB, and I presume Bowen up front next game, we're starting to build, and you can start to see Potter's imprint, we do look a lot more solid defensively than under Lopetegui and we have more of the ball so it's a decent start.

Enjoyable game to watch. It got a bit physical at times but plenty of good skills too. Paqueta's close control must be close to the top in the PL. It was the Hammers fans who cheered that there would be 7 additional minutes.
 
You cannot get booked twice in the same passage of play. It was farcical then and it is now.

From the IFAB laws.

Where two separate cautionable offences are committed (even in close proximity), they should result in two cautions, for example if a player enters the field of play without the required permission and commits a reckless tackle or stops a promising attack with a foul/handball, etc.​
 
In a way you can think he doesn’t deserve it when it comes to injuries, but when they had a full squad they dropped/didn't get so many points they should have, so therefore I think he will have to be gone.

Whoever they bring in is the real question, is there anyone out there that will realistically (1) take on the job, knowing Levy is a stingy campaigner, and (2) make them better than what they are putting out?

He subbed out Richarlison, who was their biggest threat and they have been limp ever since. Impotent. No wood. A good ball rub would do nothing. Just awful game management.
Richarlison shouldn't have started. And then at HT was close to being taken off with a groin complaint. So taking him off isn't the issue at all.

Not replacing him with Will Lankshear who was deemed worthy of a start (with a goal and red card) away to Galatasaray, thats the problem.

Bigger problem is Ange first said we need cover signed for this injury crisis in late November. Since he made that comment we had 2 players return, but Bissouma, Sarr, Werner, Spence and Johnson all go down too. We thankfully signed an ange style keeper so we don't use Forster. But no outfield players in 26 days. None even close to happening other Kolo Muani which we got blown away on.

As Conte (or manager number 15) said. It's this way for over 20 years with this owner. And now manager 16 is copping the same mismanagement above him. It'll be the same for manager 17, whether that's Iraola, Terzic or whoever.

1. 42% wage to turnover ratio record low.
2. 2nd highest ticket prices in world football.
3. Highest paid director in world football.

Those 3 things make a football fan disappointed and can't see any on field success. But for ENIC and our bean counters we've just won the treble

1. Is a misnomer a certain set of people have repeated over time to the point where people believe it. Since 19/20 summer window we have spent €975m on transfers. We're anything but stingy, we're actually hilariously wasteful. Our DoF and scouts haven't got a clue.
 
Martinez with another two footed jump in tackle, didnt connect with Traore this time but seriously the guy is a loose cannon.
He’s South American. It would be more of a surprise if he wasn’t a loose cannon.
 
We will do the Manchester United thing and concede inside the next 2 minutes.
