Look, I'm not one for talking Liverpool's side. But what on earth is the ref thinking of when he stops the game because a Villa player is injured, and is off the pitch. Being attended by medics....
A couple of villa players standing of the pitch with him.
Guys, get on with the game!
Such a weak ref. -

I don't think Nuno is too impressed with Hermansen. Paqueta is talented but is too inconsistent an almost always loses the ball in dangerous areas. Todibo always looks injured and is not a commanding centre-half. We play better with a centre-forward and Wilson is about the only one available. Need energetic midfield or out centre-halves would be bombarded. Soucek gives 100% but is struggling.Easiest selection for Nuno, this:
No Fernandes?
Hermansen
Wan-Bissaka - Todibo - Kilman - Diouf
Potts - Magassa - Souček
Bowen - Paquetá - Summerville
I would like to see this though I suspect Nuno will play Paqueta.
Areola
Wan-Bissaka - Julio - Kilman - Diouf
Potts - Magassa
Fernandes
Bowen -Wilson - Summerville

I fear this could make Brentford and Leeds look like close matches! Yet I retain a little hope that Nuno has been rummaging around for the key and that he will at some point find it and turn the tide.
Our big issue is our useless centre backs and I Think Mavro is out for few more matches, so I am not against trying Soucek in defence for either Kilman or Tobido (take your pick) or even a very deep midfielder just in front of them to try and give some backbone, which would of course weaken our midfield. I would start Potts and Fernandes.
As for Newcastle I thought they looked good against Spurs in the week and will out muscle us, and out run us. -
January Transfer speculation, (it will be here before you know it)
Could not attach the article but The Times is reporting that Paqueta is looking for an exit in the January window.
The report states that Villa made a bid in the summer once his spot fixing accusations went away which was rebuffed. I must admit I was hopeful that we would see a reinvigorated Paqueta with a point to prove so I was in favor of keeping him.
Unfortunately, imo, he has once again failed to impress so if we get a decent offer for him I would be happy to see him go although we are unlikely to see anything close to the £85m being banded around by Citeh back in the day.
Thoughts on a postcard…….. -

You have to give Sunderland credit, a newly promoted team managed to attract 15 players, (only one of them a household name and none of them for silly money) mold them into a team and have outperformed everyone’s expectations.
Their away win against us was pretty comprehensive and against Chelsea was not against the run of play despite going a goal down in the opening minutes.
H’way the lads -
January Transfer speculation, (it will be here before you know it)
Reported where?
Spanish website Fichajes
We all know there is no way he is sold, as we will be confirming our relegation.Would that rule out a Dawson return?
Apparently Dawson rejected offers from Birmingham, Blackburn and Wrexham in the summer
From what little I saw of him while he was at Wolves he lost none of his determination and commitment but has lost a fair amount of pace - and he wasn’t that quick when he was with us
