Thought Villa played well last night, certainly better then the sterile Palace game considering we rested a few key players. Burnley where determined to leave with a point and set up accordingly, 7ft brick walls everywhere.
Buendia had a truly excellent game, one of his best performances all season despite him giving away a pen, he's got so much fight. Digne is growing into a treasure as well, never lets anything go.
Continue to feel sorry for Watkins and Ings though. We feed them next to nothing every game because it's always the wingers breaking through. We're just not brave or pacey enough for the style of play that would allow them to take chances. I really wouldn't be surprised to see Watkins go this summer which would be a great shame.
Genuinely think there's a good chance we could take something from City on Sunday. If we can eek out that first 20 mins and keep them on a level then there's no reason we couldn't grow into the game. City have everything to loose and they could well bottle it.
