Mind you, Grealish is getting a free kick every time the ball goes near him.

The more CBs in the box the better?

Burn is a dreadful defender in the air for a man in his height. It just invites pressure and allows the opposition to put 10 men in our half. The mentality of the game changes and Villa will have belief that they can win it. Just don't like the negativity.

And there you go. A total lack of game management. Bissouma wins the ball, brings it out 20 yards and then lumps it into no mans land, conceding possession.

I feel ill. Again.

Looks like we would be asking way too much of Welbeck asking him to run like fu*k onto those long counter attacking balls.

The guy must have covered 10's of miles already today and has just gone down with cramp, we dont want to cause him injury with Liverpool to come next week.

Grealish pushing Veltman, what a prick.

In defence of Potter, Wellbeck knows his body - he would have come off when he was down if he needed to.

He's an elite athlete I seriously doubt you can trust a player to ask to come off, thats why we have medical staff etc

It's not like we are asking him to poach goal in this game, he's being asked to sprint onto long balls and fast twitch counter attacks.
