Agree. At this point, we will just end up panicking and adding yet another useless player with no resale value to the squad.

Looks like RVN has been coaching the Villa defence this week.

Nope. Tbf Ayew was having a stormer...

Same starting XI, I hope.

Genuinely haven't seen Villa play well once this season - in the PL at least. They were even pretty crap in both games against us, despite scraping wins in both.

He's an excellent technical footballer on the ball but as a defender at this level he's way off it, sadly.

We fully deserve to be relegated.

The Arsenal game is going to be so toxic when we're 2 down after 10 minutes with a starting line up including Ayew, Vestergaard and Faes, having made no new signings in the transfer window.

I know what you mean but I do think most managers would have started the same team. His reaction to what happened in the first half is deeply troubling, though.

Agree. Our squad is sh1t but he's not helping himself with his selections and substitutions. We need to get more pace and physicality in the team. Plus get Facundo back in.

This is going to get messy.

Clueless, absolutely clueless. Fair enough start with the same team after a win last week, but then to make no changes at HT after a terrible first half was criminal. Then on top of that, to leave Ayew on for the full game and BDR for 75 mins was unreal, given how ineffective they were. Plus, he's completely ruined Facundo, who was our best outfield player before he came. It's some effort to allow that Everton team 7 'big chances' from open play.

I can't imagine a team in League 2 conceding that first goal. Laughably bad. And that set the tone for the rest of the half.

3 down to a dogsh1t team at HT is totally unacceptable.

Branthwaite is class as well.

Horrible start to the PL weekend. Was hoping that F*rest were finished after last weekend.

Better than having that abysmal 'woooooo, Everton' chant stuck in your head. Has to be the worst thing I've ever heard at a football ground.

Based on our handing of the Coulibaly transfer, doesn't it take about 10 days to get international clearance sorted?

Really need to be focused when defending set pieces as they are very threatening from those.

I like him but his injury record is a worry and we are at risk of reprising the Martin Allen team of RBs back in the day.

How much money does this free up in PSR terms, do we think? Or is it more about freeing up a squad place?

Still think there’s even more for him to give if he truly believes in himself.

Absolutely not. Ndidi with Soumaré is the best combo we have. 4 points in 2 games when Ruud first took over.

Not even in doubt.

Me and my boys are STHs and travel up from Surrey. 230 mile round trip.
