Aston Villa fans on Twitter have been discussing their team’s defensive issues in the Premier League this season. 

This comes after Villa journalist Dan Bardell shared a post on his official page revealing that 43 out of the 50 goals that Dean Smith’s side have conceded this season in the Premier League have come from inside the box.

This post then led to a lot of Villa fans replying to the post with their thoughts on the team’s defensive struggles.

Is Villa's defence good enough for the Premier League?

Yes

Yes

No

No

Here’s a sample of Villa fans responding to the post:

Villa are currently the only team to have conceded 50 goals in the Premier League this season. Now that it has been specified whereabouts on the pitch the majority of the goals have been conceded from, this has paved the way for lots of Villa fans to try and work out why their club has conceded so many goals so far this season.

What do we think?

To be the first team to concede 50 goals in the Premier League this season just goes to show how much Villa have struggled defensively. The worry for the Villa fans now would be that their poor defensive record could play a part in their potential relegation back to the Championship if they don’t fix up their defence.
