Watched it with my dad today.
Decent 1st half ... Nice to score early for a change. They could have scored 3 or 4 first half and so could we. Defensively, both at the back and in midfield were just good enough.
2nd half I thought we were awful. Villa should have won the game. We just play brainless football. We were leading yet totally wide open time after time, lazy in possession and just downright frustrating. Over the years when we've been losing I've watched us pass across the front of teams .... trying to get through a brick wall, no room round the back. Villa had no such issue. A couple of passes and right in. They were 4 or 5 on 2 at one point. Just brainless football.
The 3 points is the positive. I thought Robbo did well. Lovely to see the kid come on and kill it off.
Finally, Darwin. Not sure what to make of this lad. Obviously he's really quick ... puts alot in. But quality wise , looks well off it for me. Not gonna right the lad off. But he looks clumsy and I never expected him to score today. He's decent in the air ... but on the deck it feels like he will miss everytime. But fair play to him on the 3rd. We need him scoring. Bar salah nobody else really chips in regular.
Leicester up next. They look dire and that should be 3. 2 back on spurs today which is another positive.
