Thought Maupay was going to get sent off at the end for his push. He was mightily lucky. Might have been a blessing giving GM a chance

[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Aston Villa *** Official Match Thread ***

Agree. He is starting to appear a bit out of his depth at this level. Definitely needs to have a plan B and realise that there is a time for pretty football and a time for a more direct and pragmatic approach, especially with a largely inherited squad.

But they're bloody awful despite being a traditionally big club. You could have said that when we were in L1 with Leeds
Villa, Sunderland and Newcastle have all dropped in recent years, after being as shite as Villa this season.
We played their very average 2020 team, not the Villa of 40 years ago when they were very good for 2 seasons.
We had a decent chance of a home 3 points and didn’t take it.

We have lacked a clinical striker since our first season in the Premier League, unless this is addressed we will continue to be average and to be honest relying on three teams being worse than us every season.

One of the most concerning things for me today was the complete and utter lack of width we are playing with. More worrying is I don’t see anyone in the squad who can even play as a winger other than Trossard who always wants to cut in. Any opposition manager must be finding it ridiculously easy to put a game plan together to play us. Crowd the midfield as we’ll be narrow and a high press to put us under pressure and we look pretty much done.
The squad really does look lacking in many areas all of a sudden. 2 weeks to try and bring in some better bodies to save our season.

When did we last have a winger who didn't want to cut in?

I mean cut in and naturally want to play a more central position rather than out wide. AK and Jose Isquerdo offered far more width and played as typical wingers.
