The Aston Villa midfielder struck a penalty against the crossbar as Dean Smith’s charges returned to Villa Park empty handed.
Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish has taken to Twitter with a message for the Villa Park fanbase after Dean Smith’s charges were beaten on the road in the Premier League today.
Villa headed to Sheffield United hoping to bounce back from two defeats in a row but weren’t at the races as they slipped to a 2-0 loss against their fellow top-flight newcomers.
Two goals by Scotland international John Fleck put the Blades on top of proceedings in the second half, before Grealish fluffed his lines as he struck a penalty against the crossbar.
Although the Villa skipper was nonetheless one of his side’s main attacking outlets, his fruitless afternoon summed up the B6 club’s current sorry state of affairs.
Grealish’s message saw a fairly mixed reply from the Villa fanbase, some of whom are getting genuinely worried with how things are going at the moment for the team:
Villa currently have 15 points from 17 Premier League games, having lost their last three in a row, and up next for Smith and co is their League Cup clash with Liverpool at Villa Park.
