Even just when I look at the stats, even when they get good results, they concede a lot of efforts at goal, they concede lots of goals.
The worst defence in the league now.
And I said before tonight, if that doesn't change, they're going to go down and they've lost 4-0.
tonight I mean I've loved going to Villa Park this season and I'm actually desperate for Aston Villa to stay up in some ways I really want them to do well but you actually look at those games yes that first four three of them are home they've got to try and make that it's been bouncing at times when I've seen goals going there this season now they've almost got a not so much a thank you for this team Dean Smith John Terry this team they've got them up back in the Premier League where they'll think they belong
And this is almost like the running for teams going for the championship.
This is the running for them.
And the next three out of the four, they've got to try and make that Villa Park a great atmosphere, really get it going.
Because it will be tough when you look at the opposition there.
But if they could just get three points or four points in those four games and almost give themselves a fighting chance by the time they get to Crystal Palace.
And then you look at the last six.
It's not bad on paper.
It's teams around them.
It's teams who they not expect to beat, but they're well in the game.
I think that's what they've got to try and do.
Try and get through these next three or four fixtures.
Don't worry if they're still in the relegation zone, as long as they're in touch.
And then I think it will still give them great belief for the last six fixtures to be gone.
Sven, this team, one of the reasons why they concede goals is at times they like to play really open and good football.
Is there a point in the season where you may have to say, we have to change our beliefs, or does that maybe when the players say, oh, no, the manager's changing his mind, so you actually lose the players in some ways?
Can you go really defensive from how they set up this season?
