Wasn''t that the year that Norwich conceded 66 goals NWC ?! I totally agree with you on Villa''s boring style and low scoring in the 2011/12 season....but to say Villa "couldn''t defend" and were "even worse" (your words) than Norwich defensively.... when you conceded 13 more goals....is a bit wide of the mark. Villa stayed up because they lost fewer games than everyone outside of the top 7 teams that season.
