Smith must fear for his future. Well entrenched in the bottom three after Watford won at Bournemouth. Looks very bleak for Villa.
Sean Dyche been getting stick off a vocal minority of Burnley fans recently, heard a couple on 606 questioning why he wasn’t playing Drinkwater. I think they’ve got their answer
All three were avoidable. Looking earlier at some of the defending in the Cardiff v Swansea derby. Full back and defenders with no forward options, calmly controlling the ball and sensibly giving the team a chance to regroup by kicking the ball into touch. Contrast that with our lads especially for their goal yesterday re- a skimmer from Bambo, followed by a flykick from Mads and bingo presented them with a free pot at our goal, which their lad gratefully accepted. Gerhard Struber must be sick of telling them to be more composed on the ball and when in doubt, kick it out. As others have said, if they can't or won't start doing the simple things, GS has got to seriously think about bringing someone in who will.
Coming up against De Bruyne and co is hardly comparable to the cloggers he came up against in League 1 for us.
It's pretty obvious. Easier to look good against Rochdale than Man City Bambo & Mads will be superstars in League One
He also tore up the Championship, playing 126 games there after leaving League 1 He's also played 12 Premiership games scoring 3 goals, plus another 4 games in the cup, scoring 4 goals He still looks a shadow of his former self in this particular game. I don't get the League 1 comparison
