I actually disagree with this and was going to say the opposite. Antonio’s runs, work rate and physicality are creating space for Benrahma and Lingard to link up and create a lot. I think Antonio has been really selfless, and has meant that the rest of the team can really play.
My stream hasn't shown the incident where Soucek went down as he played in Antonio, was this looked at on BT? Was it yet another penalty that we've been denied?
At least both pundits said we should have had a penalty. Even going as far to say that if it was Grealish he would have definitely made sure he won the penalty with that contact.
It really is a joke, Soucek was denied one in another recent game. VAR is supposed to be correcting this sort of stuff, but they seem to have reverted to changing very little (certainly for smaller clubs), and onfield refs give us nothing at all.

Lingard looking good, but I expect he'll tire, which is a shame as he's our biggest threat.
Decent all round performance...
COYI ⚒⚒⚒
Hopefully we are clinical second half.
Seems to be a horrendous media love-in for Villa that's really churning my stomach.
Says it all really.
But...
SOUCEKKKKK
