    We're going to have to play better than last night. Several chances missed and I thought we were generally ****e in the second half.

    I was therefore surprised to read on the BBC website that we'd cruised past Brentford. Not the view i took away from the match
    Never felt we were in danger though, the "finishers" would always get the job done and we don't concede too often.

    We have excellent fundamentals.

      I wasnt cruising. I was generally muttering and swearing under my breath. 'What the **** was that', 'wake up, you ****' etc etc

      We will need to play a lot better at Villa. I'm going to break with my normal mantra here and say I think a point would be a decent result. I don't see us winning there, even if Saliba plays.

      That said, we MUST win

        Raya was in an odd mood last night. He was making me nervous, which is unusual. He was a little twitchy at Chelsea as well.

          That pass out when Zubi (I think) had about 3 Brentford players around him. He did really well to get out of that.

              All true, a bit skittish. Time of the month, I suppose.

              Having said that, I love him. He has my complete confidence. It's taken time but I've even fallen in love with that little hip-hop dance he does on the ball. Brilliant.

                I love watching him coming for crosses and corners. Great hands, sturdy movements.

                I don't like seeing him on the ball but I am never going to like that. It's just me.

                    I?d still prefer to see Keepers actually catch the bloody ball on occasion, instead of this default volleyball malarkey.
                    Watch the keeper for Villa?s 4th yesterday.
