Think KUMB's handsome match reporter went (off the top of my head):

Fab 6 Johnson 5 Kehrer 8 Zouma 8 Cresswell 7 Emerson 5 Soucek 7 Rice 7 Bowen 6 Fornals 7 Scamacca 6

Benny 7 Antonio 7 Coufal 6

Moyes said that we weren't able to get Emerson into the game as our passing was so abysmal. I think he deserves a little leeway due to that. Also correctly acknowledged that Scamacca had very poor service and was feeding off scraps

He kept a clean sheet, that's the only score that matters.

Worth noting that Fornals had space for his shot today because Antonio dragged the defender out of position with his, as usual, excellent movement.

I've seen the game twice now and have to say, Moyes schooled Gerrard today....changes tactic through the game and Gerrard couldn't see it...can't see Gerrard lasting too long...Reading their forums and they aren't happy....

This loss was Villa's 12th defeat in 24 matches under Gerrard. They have won just five of those.

Didn't they win three of four in a row before playing us the second time and there was talk of genius Gerrard making a late European push?

Then we beat them and they tumbled back down the League.

One thing is clear, we must never play with wingbacks ever again.

I'm certain they won at least three in a row 3 or 4-0, then lost to us and only won one more game all season.

They could be in trouble if they keep faith with Gerrard too long.

Forgive me, but it is like you are trying to find a negative where none exists.
Exactly. If the ball doesn't go out of play it lands on Scamacca's head. I initially thought the goal was disallowed because of a foul on Scamacca, as the villa player on the post comes out and pushes him out of the way. Whatever it WASN'T a goal.

What your seeing a lot of in the first 4 games is teams not allowing soucek and rice any time on the ball, and pressing them so they can’t get out. Clearly teams have seen how west ham played last year that a lot of build up was likely don me by them.. and also Gerarrd spoke of the ‘counter press’ which a lot of teams do to us too. Our play needs to be quicker and zippier to counter this..
