And in those moments where you are looking for something special, guess what?

He turns up.

He turns up and he can drag people along with him.

And some of those issues maybe get a little bit masked and a little bit covered up.

But I think even towards the end of last season, you maybe started to see teams just understand a little bit about what the pool is.

actually were about and they were maybe just finding a few chinks in the armour you certainly I think see it in the midfield area and that's just almost been amplified this season pretty much from the start even when they were winning those five games you could see you could see there was problems you could see the spaces were too big you could see the gaps were too big you could see teams getting at Liverpool far too easily and I'm thinking

The guy in charge, he's got to find a way of covering this.

He's got to find a way of just covering some of those weaknesses and he's not been able to do that and that's the frustration.

It would help, yeah.

I've got no sense of whether they'd be able to do that.

I mean, a lot will depend on the opponents, I suppose, because I think...

It's fair to say I would have expected Villa to go to Burnley and I think they would have won if they hadn't been in European competition.

I think it's fair to say they are a little bit distracted, understandably so.

Laggy?

Yeah, I didn't see the game, I saw the goals and stuff, but...

But I still thought they'd go there and just do enough, even with the European exploits.

So it's really hard to know.

And listen, I think Villapark will be bankrupt for it.

But obviously their minds will be maybe slightly elsewhere.

It's understandable.
