Is he looking for a new contract?

Yes, but hopefully at a different club

Villa score

Siggy and Kean

Richie off though, so we'll never score

We've had five attempts, none on target.

And Villa should have made it 0-2.

DCL back to missing sitters

Theo!

If Villa get relegated they might rue that miss from 2 yards out when up 1-0...

Amazing how much more confident we look after scoring.

1-1, FT, mediocre from what I can tell based on the BBC Text updates.

need a good run to catch them  haha

just 49

to go then

A few thoughts:


As the chances of reaching the Europa League places faded, our performances have got worse. We may as well play some kids - at least they will be trying to impress.

Carlo has us playing 442, but we haven't got the right players in central midfield for this to work. With the lack of pace in CM, 352/532 makes more sense. Perhaps this will be rectified in the transfer market (or the return of Gbamin).

Siggy has had a poor season, but asking him to play as a holding midfielder isn't going to help.

Assuming Villa go down, would we want Mings and/or Grealish? The latter would have to get a hair cut and pull his socks up (literally) as part of any deal.

Have you seen Moise Kean-Calvert Lewin-Tom Davis -Iwobie hair cuts? Just Imagine we buy that lad at Villa (Mings) we'll look like a bloody cleaners cupboard.
