Well, even by some post-Restart displays that was sheer crap from us. Wow.
Villa were lucky with the early VAR call - didn't even look like his shoulder - more like his back. It then seemed most of the XI took that as the moment to go "**** it, we have tried enough today" and start to contemplate their summer hol destinations.
Guiata 7 - Did nowt wrong. My heart breaks for him each time he collects the ball then looks to begin a quick counter attack only for him to sigh then frown then hold on to the ball for 15 seconds before hoofing the ball towards hyperspace. Was good aerially today.
Ward 4 - Just send him holiday now. Play Lewington at RB for all I care. He is an injury waiting to happen and it isn't his fault. He will have tricky challenges whichever winger Wolves, Wankers and Spurs put out against him.
Sakho 6 - Can be excused I think but hardly a commanding performance. None of the grit we rememeber about him from yesterday.
Dann 7 - Did the best job of caring today alongside perhaps Benteke on the trying stakes.
PVA 5 - Has patches of looking our most creative threat down that left flank with WIlf then patches of hitting the most half-arsed crosses, passes or free-kicks for a few minutes. At least he looks like he may net us a goal before Xmas. Was a bit lucky with the pen. Grealish was "clever" in a way and he came hurtling in like a steamtrain to that challenge.
McArthur 4 - Pooped. Poor display just off the pace, so off the pace. Such a shame, even Mr. Reliable is now in terrible form.
Kouyate 4 - Only noticed he was playing when he conceeded the free-kick for their goal, the first time I'd spotted him since just after kick-off.
Luka - 1 - About 5mins in spray two good floated passes in quick succession, one towards each flank. Other than that it would have been a 0. No leadership, well off the pace. He finds a way to piss me off more each week, much like the team he leads.
Zaha - 4 - Is it him, or is it the team that have just lost any cohesion? Never the correct weight or pass, never the right call to look for the foul or just get on with it. So, so easily rattled. It was a league one performance from Villa really. He wouldn't have been picked up by Coventry on that display.
Ayew - 4 - Needs a breather, will be leading the line vs. Man U - lets see how he gets on having been given little time off at the end of that game.
Benteke - 5 Not that bad, stupid to be sent off, annoying he didn't listen to Dann's shout. I still want him replaced in the summer. He is surrounded by a woeful other 9 outfield played in the same kit as him but he hasn't shown enough to make me feel he can play for a midtable Premier League outfit for a long time to me. That is the bulk of it.
McCarthy - 4 - Nothing of note, good or bad. As per.
Townsend - 6 - Starting to impress again in these cameos, looking quite tough in the tackle too.
Rieldweld - 5 - nothing notable.
Meyer - 5 - Turned the tempo up after he came on. STILL undecided about him myself tbh. We need a Puncheon type figure of the bench to not only dictate the last third of a match but stick the ball in the net, or tee someone up.
