DCL or Tosun who is too static and would have easily been handled by Mings.
An off form / tired Richarlison or Walcott who adds pace?
Not sure what other options Silva could have used seeing as both Kean and Iwobi are lacking match fitness...
Kean isnt fully fit...he looked shattered after comimg on as a sub vs Watford so its unlilely he would last more than 30mins against Villa.
DCL at least gave their defenders something to think about with his movement and knockdowns while Tosun is just a lamppost and really we should be trying to find a buyer for him.
I think the issue stems from the back. Neither Mina nor Keane are particularly fast on the turn so we need to sit deeper than last season...
Then of course Schneiderlin is just heartless and Gomes (as you mention) was just dreadful.
If we had more athleticism in Central Defence + Gbamin as Defensive Midfielder then we could have pushed far higher up the pitch...
By giving Gomes a license to roam forward weve then got Schneiderlin sitting and personally i think thats suicide.
There were 3 chances which we should have scored and thats taking into account that the starting 11 were all atrocious aside from Mina.
Personally id have taken a draw before the game...id take a draw for any away game in the league.
You just expect it now. I am not sure when or how it can be changed.
I had a top day out yesterday but was mindful that the game was on at 8pm.
I decided to stay at the seaside and have fun with my family and just saw the score when I got home at 10pm.
The club needs to do something to alter this malaise of mid table nothingness. It has been 2 decades+.
I am battle worn sadly. It just isn't fun seeing different managers/players produce the same outcomes. Rinse and repeat.
I think the team has regressed since he took over attacking wiseTake the long view: we have consistently improved in every area of the pitch since he took over; the defensive unit (whole team, not just the back five) is looking better than it ever has since Moyes left; and our offensive output -- chance creation rather than conversion -- is also far better than it was.
There are still areas of improvement, and that is a good thing. The reason I'm not alarmed is because it's clear Silva knows where they are and knows what he wants. I see no reason to think he won't sort out the attack in the same way he sorted out the defence.

I agree but chances change complexions and if Calvert Lewis would have buried that chance we would have won in my opinion. We gave them something to hang on to and you can’t encourage any team that in this league.We did dominate the game, he’s bang on the money.
