We just weren't robust enough or committed enough in our defending

Villa were battered too, but they were throwing bodies in the way, winning headers, closing down quickly, getting tackles in.

We just weren't doing that. Even when Salah went through, Lewis and Hanley waved a leg to try to stop the shot.

I want to see them throwing themselves in the way.
