Stephen Warnock shares Aston Villa stat that’s worrying him ahead of Liverpool clash
Aston Villa have suffered a significant downturn in form over the past few weeks which culminated in a third defeat in a row on Wednesday night.
Villa fell to a 1-0 defeat at Club Brugge in their Cham✤pions League encounter at the 𝓰Jan Breydel Stadium, losing in bizarre circumstances.
Referee Tobias 🐭Stieler awarded a spot-kick to the hosts after Tyrone Mings rolled back a short goal-kick to Emi Martinez with his hands.
Ha📖ns Vanaken stepped up and dul✱y converted his penalty in the 52nd minute, which proved to be the difference between the two sides.
While Villa will feel hard done by over the penalty decision, their display was 💝not as energetic as it could have been.
Indeed, BBC Sport pundit Stephen Warnock shared a 🗹statistic that highlights how tired the Villansဣ looked on the night.

Aston Villa 4km down on Club Brugge on total distance covered
Not l💟ong before the final whistle, Warnock noted on how Villa had covered 4km less than Brugge on the night.
He said Villa’s intensit𝔍y simply wasn’t there, acknowledging that was also the case against Tottenham last wee🍒k.
“Aston Villa are 4km down on Brugge on total🧸 distance covered, which is a lot more than you would𓆉 expect.,” said Warnock.
“Theཧ intensity has not been there 𓄧from them, and it was missing against Tottenham on Sunday too.”
How Villa have fared in their last few games
Villa’s last win i♎n all competitions was on 22 October, when they ran out 2-0 winners over Bologna in the Champions League.
Four days later, Unai Emery’s charges drew 1ꦗ🉐-1 with Bournemouth in the Premier League, the last time they avoided defeat.
On 30 October, Villa wer🅺e knocked out of the Carabao Cup at the hands of Crystal Palace, who won 2-1 at Villa Park.
Four days later, Tottenham ran out 4-1 winners over the cl♔aret-and-blue outfiꦍt, and now Villa have lost 1-0 to Club Brugge.
Villa are next in action on Saturday night when they head to Liverpool in an 8pm kick-off, and they will need to pick t💧hemselves up quickly ahead of such a daunting fixture.
