I don’t mean to be negative but all this talk of positives is great but is points that keep you up. That is a dreadful result losing to a team below us in the 94th minute as was dropping two points to Burnley in stoppage time. We are one point outside the relegation zone after a quarter of the season. We need points not plaudits for style otherwise we will sleep walk into relegation.

Keown saying we played brilliantly today, Crooks basically saying villa without Grealish would not be the same.

Absolutely gutted at that result, but the football we are playing ... wow. Dale Stephens suddenly looks like the best deep midfielder in the league.

The red card hurt us, but so did our inability to take chances, and general poor decision making in the final third. Again. Yep, we got 3 v watford - a side struggling a lot still. 3 v Tottenham - two of which goalkeeping errors played a major part in. They are the exceptions. Goal scoring is still a problem for us, let's not ignore that in all this talk of red cards.

Us with 11 would have trounced them I believe.

Much rather be playing well and getting unlucky than playing terrible and getting lucky.
Without Grealish, Villa would be relegation certs - they're just as much of a one-man team as Zaha FC.

Even more gutting when you consider who we have just handed the points to, they will be down there.

You watch MOTD when we lose? I don’t go near it
Tell me about it! No Sunday newspaper for me either now. Nor Costa because bloody Villa friend will be in there as usual reading about his teams victory. Time to lie low. So pissed off, for an October away defeat it feels oddly like we’ve lost the Cup Final again!!
We were on our way to a minimum 0-2 but maybe more until Mooy went red.

Maupay had a few should have done better with and the pass from March to Stephens when breaking forward was very poor.
Lack of concentration at end of both halves and another avoidable red card and we have lost more points
Again tactically Potter has set us up perfectly and the players are letting him down with poor on pitch decisions

He didn't though did he. The goal came after 93 mins according to the stream I was watching. The commentator kept saying time was up for some reason until he suddenly realised there was 30 secs to play just as they scored.

What a kick in the balls - this one will be hard to recover from. Can only really go two ways.... we'll see. Not much else to say - the spirit is there, but the application is still letting us down.
Oi. You know the rules. No speaking of the elephant in the room.
Completely disagree.
Points and survival are everything, don’t care how we get there.

Hence I 100% blame Mooy for this, as I did Andone v Southampton. Both sending offs were irrational. Both didn't need to do it, and so early in the games.
