Villa struggled without Jack Grealish, especially in the first half. This was yet another opportunity for Ross Barkley to step up and show everyone his talent, instead, yet again he was a passenger, it's time to bench him and allow Sanson or the young Jacob Ramsey a start. I just hope Smith sees the light and does not sign him at the end of the season.
I will be happy with a top ten finish, but for us to hold on to Grealish we need to start buying in some real quality come the summer.
The one consolation is seeing The foxes and The Hammers throwing a spanner in the works for the usual top six clubs.
Long may it continue.
