Villa wanted these points more than us. We were more concerned to keep a clean sheet than taking a lead. When we did draw level all we wanted to do was hold onto a point. Villa took more risks and eventually reaped a huge reward from a miniscule difference in team ability coupled to a stroke of luck. They deserved to win because they tried to win; we didn't. Our two forwards must have despaired at the poor quality of ball played up to them whereas the Villa forwards came back into midfield to get the ball and take it forward themselves. They were desperate and they won; we were just desperate. Time for bed.
