Aston Villa fans have been reacting to a worrying stat, that puts Villa top of shots conceded alongside Tottenham Hotspur.
According to Aston Forza, Villa have conceded 46 shots in the box this season, which is the joint-most conceded alongside Spurs in the Premier League.
The stat is worrying, and several Aston Villa fans on social media have been reacting to the statistic.
Brad88084246 reckons that a new signing will be key for Villa avoiding their defensive frailties, saying that: “Marvelous won’t let that happen”.
lukerobinson89 believes it’s simply too easy for the opposition as of late, saying that: “It’s too easy to create chances against us atm”.
JoshLocke23 thinks that the Trezeguet red card may actually help Villa here, saying that: “I think the Trezeguet red card will do us good. Play Jack and McGinn a little wider and out DL and Conor at CM, packs our midfield more, should stop teams walking through us. Davis and Wes upfront together is worth a try to allow that midfield to get forward.”
NMiddleton22 thinks that the shot on target stat is less worrying however, tweeting that: ” We have only conceded 17 shots on target though which is around average for the League so far.”
Nakambaavi reckons that: ” Midfield needs to take pressure off our defence inviting shots which is gonna lead to goals.”
Read Aston Villa’s Verdict
Villa’s defensive issues continue to trouble them again after last season’s horrific show at the back.
They really need to take the pressure off the defence, as they are still having to work too hard in games.
The midfield is really at fault, and they need to get more involved defensively in games, stopping teams from being able to pierce through the Villa side.
