After that sloppy as fuck half I'll take 1-0 every time. That should hopefully settle us down a little.

VAR check is complete, Ashley Young confirmed a twat.

Nice play that.

This has been a largely forgettable half, especially for Martinez.

Huge chance there if only Martinez was still half there.

Aston Villa's medical director Dr Riviera needs to be questioned as to why Martinez was still on the pitch.

Fucking hell, this is ridiculous.

Has anyone else noticed how Miggy is getting less ball now that ASM is on the bench?

We need some patience and composure when we have the ball, looking to create too early.

Took a few minutes for them to explain who Aston Villa were.

Superb tackle from Burn saved our bacon.

Schar and Botman in a tightly contested battle for the Jonjo Shelvey Heisman Trophy.

Botman unreal.

That ball from Guimaraes for Tripps making the perfectly timed run. /end comment

We're a little sloppy with our passing, perhaps it's overconfidence. Great energy and pressing.

Longstaff is looking positively dynamic, making a late run for England

Right foot cross.

Great chance there for Wilson - disappointing he couldn't put it on target.

We all know there is only one king.

I believe CT's preferred pronouns are he/him and that's a 32" waist (across).

We have enough ball for everyone to have a turn these days, even Murphy FFS.

Everyone who has come in has done a job and has the right attitude (I include Wood in that). It's great to have the confidence in the manager and the owners to only make moves that improve our team and fit in with the team ethos and not just based on price/availability just to get someone through the door. One or two in January is fantastic if they improve our first eleven.

TLDR: One game at a time.
