Look away now. Yet another unfathomably poor first half performance leaves Villa with the increasingly tiresome veneer of 'throwing everything at' a game well lost in the first 45. 

Questions abound for Gerrard 20 games in. Dean Smith must be watching with mixed emotions to say the least as a sub 11th finish beckons for a clearly disjointed Villa.

Tyrone Mings makes his 120th appearance for the club (119 Starts) to make it W48 D21 L51, 7 Goals, 7 Assists, 28 Bookings and 2 Red Cards so far in his Villa career.

Matty Cash makes his 60th appearance in a Villa shirt since joining from Forest in September 2020 to make it W24 D7 L29, 3 Goals, 6 Assists, 16 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

Morgan Sanson, 29, makes his 20th appearance in a Villa shirt (7 Starts) since joining from Olympique Marseille for £14,220,000 in January 2021 to make it W6 D5 L9, 0 Goals, 0 Assists and 3 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
