Big time Bubble Burst

Decent fight back, shocking defending

4wins from 6 you would have taken that

12th-14th as predicted I’ll stick to that

Utterly pathetic. No excuses for fighting back finally after conceding 4. I don't know what's happened in the last 2 weeks for us to completely turn off but it is unacceptable. Heads need to roll.

Over reaction there am afraid

Why do fans of clubs who go on a good run always expect them to keep those standards going?

Villa have made a great start. They were always going to drop back. Mid table is a great season for you

Statistically was one of your best games this season. Just unlucky every shot on goal was a goal against.

Not good. Started season with 4 outstanding performances. Tight defence throughout the 90 minutes, never let the opposition get near to scoring (apart from Liverpool's two), patience in digging out chances, decisive attacks. No reason why we couldn't keep it going. 12 goals for 2 against says it all.

I can let the Leeds result go. It happens. Should have been a wake up call. Smith should have thrown everything into getting back to a solid professional defence. Instead, another disaster; it could have been the middle of last season.

Smith said after the game: "The way we finished the game was really good and we need to take that into next week at Arsenal". Delusional. The way we finished doesn't matter. The way we let 4 goals in does. We can beat Arsenal if we get back to how we were playing; we will get thrashed if we don't. Crunch time.

Exactly, how many times have we conceded 3 or 4 goals and then decide to start competing in the 75th minute down the years? Too many too mention. I hope Traore's injury isn't too bad.

I know Trez can work hard but he just has zero end product most of the time. He could've had a hattrick in the 2nd half Smith said.

The keyword there is 'could've'
