Absolutely horrific and I knew it was coming because we are undercooked and under prepared for this season. It has to change NOW, it's no surprise we are thrashed when we are playing a far superior Villa team and not much has changed with the team the lack of urgency from the club in recruitment has thrown away the start for a second season running! If anything it's weaker with Mina gone, Michael Keane starts, there's no fit wingers and lack any threat up front. Our players like Keane, Young and Patterson are braindead and error strewn. Dyche absolutely abysmal management too, sort it out or you can go too!! More criminal negligence from everyone at the club. Absolutely grim. It doesn't even feel like a new season just rolling on of the last. Another long fight for survival incoming.
 
if it’s not at least four points from the next two I’ll be starting to worry. Need a winger and centre back in ASAP too
 

You just know that in the echo chamber that is 'THE FOOTBALL CLUB' they're all reassuring each other that the season only really starts in September and all will be well.

Stuffy, outdated football truisms that aren't true anymore, zero accountability or critical thinking...completely sums up Kenwright's Everton.
 
They flashed up the next six games just before Villa scored one of the goals.

Wolves (H)
Sheffield United (A)
Arsenal (H)
Brentford (A)
Luton (H)
Bournemouth (H).

Need 10 points minimum from that but more like 4-5 points based on how bad the defensive looks and the continual attacking injuries. What even will the front 3 be next week if as expected Calvert Lewin and Iwobi aren't around ,Mauapy, Dobbin and Danjuma?!

Basically over half of the winnable home games will have been completed by early October so that's a massive concern if it's just low scoring draws.
 
We aint going down this is reactionary after a very poor result same as those saying we were dead and buried the past 2 seasons.
Well them past 2 seasons are a warning and reality of how close we have come, again will only stay up if there are 3 teams worse than us it’s out of our hands even this early on we’re so bad. For every Davies and Mina leaving we have a Michael Keane and Iwobi with no one lined up to replace them and continue to stick with them in the side alongside the likes of Patterson, Maupay, Doucoure, Gana onana list is endless with an even worse bench
 
Be amazed if we hear of any MSP red tape breakthroughs after that. They would actually be mad to not hold off for a few games to see how it’s looking, at the moment it’s not looking brilliant.

Can almost feel the club beginning to think a points deduction would be the perfect excuse and way of diverting attention.
 

On the evidence so far we will underscore last season in terms of goals scored. Which will be the death knell. That plus Keane.

I think eventually things will pick up scoring wise.

Bigger issue is last season on the road team weren't actually conceding that many goals, most was pretty much two so you can always be in the mix for draws and that was crucial in the end with the late flurry of draws.

Villa could've scored 6-7 today if they really wanted to. Already the GD is at -5. Last season it took until Bournemouth away to get that bad.

Yeah, I think when McNeil gets back and Harrison eventually gets in, we should be better going forward.

But as long as Keane starts, we're pretty much starting every match already down at least 1 goal. Which just creates that much more pressure on an already fragile offense as well.
