[Tibby Baggie]

Every time I criticise Rondon on here, people say it's because he's getting no service - which is also true - but I watch his movement, ball control, heading ability very closely, and he's no more than a Pub player. Yesterday's commentator said when he was subbed that that 50 yard run to the tunnel was the quickest he's run all afternoon!

Didn't some team sign an African player a few years back only to find they'd spent £5m on somebody's brother!? (I think it was George Weah)
Well, I reckon somebody's made the same mistake with Rondon.

The bloke clearly can't play up top on his own - simple as that. He doesn't create his own chances and cannot hold the ball reliably enough to regularly bring others into play. That said, when he went off and we had Anichebe and Berahino up front instead, they somehow between them managed to be even worse! Berahino is catching up to Anichebe in size as well, might want to lay off the pies if I were you, Saido!

The truly wretched performers yesterday for me were the midfield though, they literally couldn't even consistently make 10 yard passes or hold onto the ball long enough to move us up the pitch. McClean was back to his usual self and probably would have struggled to cross the sodding road yesterday, let alone cross a ball! And it wouldn't surprise me if Villa made at least double the amount of completed passes and we were very bloody lucky that their strikers were as shit as ours, otherwise we'd be in an absolute meltdown on here talking about taking a whipping at home off possibly the worst Villa side in their history. I doubt even the inclusion of Morrison or Brunt if they were fit would have improved much yesterday to be honest. Pulis and the players let the fans down massively yesterday, and they need to make up for it pronto.

I don't expect many will bother going to the next few home games now though and I can't say I blame them, I'll be watching at home and saving my money until I see some improvement.

The only positive out of a very grim day is that 1 point in that game is simply not enough to give Villa hope for survival, and quite frankly if they can't beat a team playing as poorly as we did I can't see where they will be getting their next 3 points from. Swansea and Newcastle games are absolutely massive for us now. Those will be the games that will define this season for us, either safely nestled in mid table or right back into the thick of a relegation scrap. 

Never make things easy on us fans do you, Albion?!
