I saw Drogs land on him like a jockey and thought "He looks like he could ride him like a horse in that position." Then lo and behold. I laughed my nuts off.

Anyway brilliant performance, the attacking movement was top notch, lots of creativity and control in there box. And the defence, wow brilliant, we are the best team ever no doubt.

Hey, I was being serious!

Straight after we scored, we sat back and switched off once again and let Villa score. After we scored we should have tried to get the second goal but we didn't. Wigan, Fulham and Villa on paper should have been 9 points, we've managed 2. In these three games I don't think I've ever seen us play so badly.

Yesterday was very, very very poor. Pretty much like how Man United played in the first half today against Blackburn (I didn't see the second half) but for the whole game. Too slooooooooooow, we helped Villa by playing so slowly. We should been more patient, moving from left to right with the ball quickly, working the Villa players until we found and opening. We didn't which helped Villa defend well as a unit. Our main threat comes from Sturridge and Mata but once more we couldn't get them into the game, I much prefer Lampard to Meireles in midfield but we can't keep on relying on Lampard. Lampard is more likely to pick out a pass or create something out of nothing. As Lampard gets older and older, I don't think Meireles is good enough (to start in that position) if we want to be challenging in every competition. Ramires and Romeu is good but I think we need another creative player in there who's better that Meireles. Moving Mata into the center and buying a decent left winger would be a good move. Don't get me wrong Meireles is a good player but I think in the upcoming seasons we need someone of higher quality in that position. Meireles should still get his fair share of games, as he can also be rotated with Ramires and Romeu.

Thought I'd never say this but I thought we were crying out for Kalou to come on today, same against Fulham as well.

Do our players only get paid till the 80th minute or something?!They just completly switch off and give up!So many late goals against us

I think a lot of players feel a lack of in-squad competition. Too many players are too sure of their starting XI spot and don't feel the urge to perform well because there's a replacement around the corner.

To alter this, there need to be done 2 things:

- Do transfers. More quality, more competition in the team. Simple as that.

- Since we won't get more than 2, max 3 new players, let some youngsters play to show the experienced players that if they don't outperform those youngsters, AVB might as well start these youngsters.

I hope they had a bat party. After their pathtic performance, they don't deserve to have a good party.
