It's not all about our defence and lack of protection

4 out 5 goals Villa scored were directly results of us giving Villa the ball in our own half.

Our defending was s**t but our possession was worse and even more problematic. You let teams repeatedly win it off you high up the pitch and your defence will not have time to organise their shape.
