The 'laws' of probability would tend to suggest that we're bound to lose a game or two at some point between now and the end of the season, and Villa away is up there with the most likely candidates I'd have thought

We all thought this team had turned a corner really hope this is a one off!

it has turned a corner compared to earlier in the season, but we are still a mid table side. We are not world beaters.

If KWP is fit enough to play, I think he should be starting ahead of Tino. If you lose Salisu to injury, why change a second member of your back four? Try and keep that settled winning side if you can.

Agreed. He likes a tinker. Thought he was over that.

Wtf is happening? Just got out of work and saw the score. Who's fucked up at the back for this to be the scoreline?

Everyone. Mainly Bednarek and Stephens.

Whole team have been 4 or 5/10 today. Not at the races at all. Coutinho running riot and it really should be 6-0.

After beating West Ham with (initially) the reserve team, the squad got cocky thinking they'd have it easy today.

RH took all the plaudits for Wednesday but he's got to keep this squad's feet on the ground. They took their eye off the ball here, overcelebrating the cup win.

Most teams have days like this at some point. Combination of believing the hype, no Salisu or KWP, opposition playing well and the team looking jaded.

It happens but don't just give in and concede 5 or 6. Fight, try and get a goal or two back.

Crucial to keep some self belief

in games we have won or drawn there are incidents and chances that have gone our way. Today they haven't. It a fine line between winning and losing games at this level. 

Putting to one side the cup win, in general, against the decent sides, we have to have our best side out to win games.

Well we all said prioritise the cup now. But we meant rotate the squad 50%at a time , not play the first choice XI at 50% effort.

Villa may well have dropped the pace, but we've kept working at least.

Agree, the scoreline may not reflect the effort that we have put in today.

it's hardly ever a lack of effort, and almost always down to quality. The scoreline could easily have been worse mind you.

Villa have pretty much had a stroll today. Their better players stuck their chances away. Saints have hardly created anything of note. Just have to hope this season doesn't drift to an end.

As bad as we have been defensively today, its also quite a feat of our usually good forward players to get shut out by a defence consisting of Mings, Chambers, Cash and Young 💩
