Many Aston Villa fans have discussed what they feel are the best attributes about Dean Smith’s side, with some claiming ‘attractive football’ has been played.
Sitting 19th in the Premier League table has many Villa fans wondering if they will be a part of England’s top flight next season. Having gained promotion via the play-off final last season, beating Derby County at Wembley, Villa have found it hard to adapt to life in the Premier League.
Success at cup level in reaching the Carabao Cup final, which they lost to Manchester City, proved to be a welcome distraction from league action but, with only the club’s top-flight safety left to play for this term, nervousness is very much the prevailing feeling among some fans.

His refusal to blame players. His refusal to blame recruitment. His refusal to blame other coaches. His acceptance of his own shortcomings. His belief in working to improve. The players belief in him. Villa are a work in progress – the SmithOut posse prefer quick fixes.

Team spirit. Things haven’t gone smoothly this term but you look at how the players interact on and off the field and it’s miles better than the toxic atmosphere we’ve seen in recent years 😎👍
