Yes. Depends on what teams below & maybe above do. But draws at Wolves & Bournemouth. The loss at Forest. The really successful sides find ways for it to have been 2 wins & 1 draw. How the title points bar keeps getting close to 100 in so many recent seasons.

It is still that kind of thing could make a difference to where Villa finish this season.

But maybe not a bad run for the rest of December. Avoid defeat to Zrinjski to advance to UECL last 16. Brentford (a), Sheff United (h), Man United (a) & Burnley (h)

 

That point against Bournemouth doesn’t look so bad, they’re well coached now and will do well this year.

Got the City game on the main TV. Luton containing City very well. Amused at Andros Townsend having to wear a Townsend Sr shirt xD.

Young off with a problem and replaced by Patterson. Slightly less of a pace mismatch against Mudryk now.

Man City struggling to break down Luton. 

Luton to be fair to them are organised very well. Man City taking too much time on the ball in wide areas which gives Luton ample time to get back into position to defend. And they're doing it well.

Is Doku unavailable? I'd have thought he'd be the best option here. Grealish and Bernardo are massive cut inside and re-beat their man merchants which gives Luton time to get their men behind the ball.

We've defended and battled well but we've been holding on for a lot of that half. Maybe time to get Onana on for Gueye if he's up to it.

We were so unlucky and unfortunate. I wasn't expecting much after the Bournemouth debacle but we set up very well and got the reaction we wanted.

I think it helped that Liverpool were just as bad as we were good. For a title contender to not have a shot on target when we had 11 on the field is some going. Without Andy Madley's baffling refereeing performance we would have beaten them.

I don't remember Roy being as angry at a referee's performance ever. The flurry of yellow cards made the game an absolute farce. Nobody in the ground thought Ayew should have had two yellow cards other than the referee, with the second one particular being so soft.

Psychology clearly comes in to play for these referees when you play these big clubs. Elite clubs make an art form out those cynical fouls and don't get the same amount of cards. For both teams to make seventeen fouls and for us to have seven yellows as opposed to there one tells you all you need to know.

First yellow was about as clear and obvious a yellow that you can see, trying to obstruct the free-kick. But the second, he’s barely touched him and you can see he’s only given a yellow cos hes twigged Ayew is on one. He wasnt gunna give one otherwise.

Souness was right about Grealish, the game has moved on from two years ago and he’s not direct enough now.  Will go Saudi or Italy in the summer
