He's not good enough, it's as simple as that. Send him out on loan where he gets regular game time and see what happens. My opinion is he'll either get injured or do nothing, which TBH is what he's done for the last three seasons under one of the best coaches in the world. Yeah, fair summary mate. ...

Llorente
Raphinha
Cooper
Meslier
Dallas
Ayling

Positive: Hopefully goodbye to Roberts and a few others in the summer

Negative: A drab performance against an average opponent

They were good against City today, and City struggled to break them down. Don't fancy us at West Ham, the London hoodoo will continue.

With Bamford, you could see what he was trying to do, and there's so much more to his all round game. I'm not generally in favour of writing people off, we may not otherwise have had Klick, Phillips, Dallas, Ayling or Bamford playing at the level they now do, but I can't see where the improvement i...

Thankfully he abandoned Harrison at CF after the Crawley abortion

Llorente should have played in that position - he has the experience to play there. I don't give a hoot whether it's two left footed CBs playing together if it means Struijk not playing in DMF. Yeah, I fully expected to see Llorente at DCM tonight, or a back three of Llorente, Struijk and Cooper. B...

When is MB going to stop trying to turn Pascal Struijk into the reverse Javi Martinez? The lad isnt technically good enough to play dm, he lacks the positional sense, the control, it doesnt work. It's unfair to keep putting him in that position. He's done well at CB, so why keep knocking his confid...

Poor performance and a boring match to watch

Really really crap.

Losing to Villa with no Grealish.

So little creativity.

Villa defensively solid but we were dreadful.

Yeah, we've been garbage tonight and they weren't any better tbh.

Struggled against an average side

What a bunch of cheating twats Villa are

True, Roberts can go to play hoof0ball for Cardiff for me.

But Pablo seems miles off the pace, not the only one tonight btw

Five added minutes, we wouldn't sore if five hours were added

How many stupid free kicks have we given away tonight ffs

69% possession and three shots on target

We're tripe tonight and that ref is a fooking w**ker

Villa are just an organized workmanlike side and we have no idea how to break them down

Off Targett, like our attempts at scoring

Looks like we couldn't score in a brothel
