That's the response I wanted to see.

If RDZ is as good as many of us think he is, he will take a forensic look at this defeat, take the engine apart, find exactly what went wrong, learn the lessons from it, and make the necessary changes. The measure of him will be if it does, or doesn't, happen again.

When we are on song, we can play the football of the Gods. When we aren't, we can be dismantled. Played through. This is where we are. RDZ football is high risk and high reward.

A bit of context: Villa 0 Newcastle 3. I didn't see that coming either.

5-1 loss to Everton. 6-1 to Villa. 4-0 and counting to, er, Luton. Individually, none of them are acceptable. Collectively, do they constitute a canary in the coalmine?

Yep, agreed. I'm just devastated by this, and I wasn't suggesting that. What I was suggesting was that our preparation was insufficient. Conceding two goals in 3 mins means they caught us cold. They've done their homework on us, and it is working. We didn't do our homework on them, or if we did...

It's pretty fundamental stuff to be focused and tight, right from the start of both halves. This doesn't take skill or RDZ-possession-ball. It just takes 100% concentration.

But not 2 goals in 3 minutes, at Luton. That doesn't happen.

Insufficient preparation?

I'm supposed to be taking my blood pressure reading all this week for my doctor. What's the point?

If we find a way back into this game, how good will RDZ be?

All those people watching from the Maldives, Dubai and any other 'look at me' place, the score is still the same. What a load of utter bollox.

3 days ago we won 5-2 away. Now this.

Stunned. I didn't see that coming at all.

WTF?

Listening to Johnny and Warren from Patcham.

Goals could be the deciding factor in this game.
