3 things:
1. Our current CB partnership is simply not equipped to deal with a player like Benteke. Neither Carra no Agger come close to matching Benteke's athleticism, so every long ball in the general direction of our penalty area becomes a threat. Maybe Skrtel even on current form would be a bit more effective. In any case, the need for strong, athletic CB to complement Agger becomes exposed once again.
2. Suarez is having one of those days - so far. When he was gifted a 1 on 1 with Guzan by the Villa player's backpass, you could see he knew he wouldn't score there. Very unusual. We had enough chances to score at least a couple of goals had he not been so wasteful.
3. Despite playing a 3-man midfield, we are not dominating the middle of the park, like we should. Villa is using long balls to bypass our midfield and because our CB are poorly matched with Benteke, they don't need to do anything special to create chances. Maybe we need a striker more than a 3rd midfielder in this game.
