For all Fulham's positivity, Aston Villa have had one of the better chances of the second half.

Ian Maatsen can't get his effort on target.

Shea Charles has his head is in his hands.

You just think that Oscar Bobb chance is the one.

[But] there's no conviction in his strike.

Oscar Bobb dances into the area but his shot is blocked. It comes back to Shea Charles on the edge of the penalty box but he can't get his shot on target.

"Come on Fulham" is the chant from the away supporters as their side win a corner.

It's sent in by Oscar Bobb and only half cleared before coming back to the halfway line. Fulham retain possession, though.

Stark contrast to the first 45 minutes, this.

Good goalkeeping.

It's commanding, it doesn't look spectacular, but there is a sigh of relief when Suzuki gets involved.

Antonee Robinson tries a looping ball into the box but it's good goalkeeping from Zion Suzuki as he comes out to claim. Commanding his area.

They have the possession and the good opportunities, but [Fulham] don't score.

They have been pushing and pushing, but they can't find that magical answer.

Fulham have been the better side so far in this second half.

But they have not yet been rewarded with a goal. As has often been the way this season. They must start finding goals when they enjoy these positive periods.

Johan Manzami isn't quite as defensively minded, so Fulham might get some opportunities down their right hand side.

Fulham have started this second half well but a couple of times they have been caught offside. Tidy that up they might get somewhere.

Ooooh.

Aston Villa are opened up and Alex Iwobi plays a little one-two with Antonee Robinson before the ball is squared across for Gonzalo Garcia but his effort is straight at the keeper.

Anyway we're back under way at Villa Park.

Bit of reaction from Palace, there.

Is manager Pierre Sage in trouble? No Premier League managers have lost their job yet so far this season but it feels like there are currently a couple of contenders.

It was difficult for them today because Mateta gets sent off early on and suddenly you change the context of the game. But it doesn't look good at the moment for them, too many mistakes.

It's not a case of downing tools, it's almost just a lack of confidence and understanding of what they're trying to do. It looks like a very difficult situation to come back from for the manager.

To get out of it, you have to have internal meetings between you as a team and try and find solutions. There can't be any finger pointing in the dressing room, it's got to be an acceptance of what you're doing wrong or what you can do to improve and get better. And the quicker people admit to that, and work as a collective, the quicker you'll find solutions.

I wasn't going to put that last lot of texts through.

Mostly because I'm annoyed I didn't think of it.

Fulham have lost each of their last five Premier League games in which they've trailed at half time since a 2-1 win over Brighton in January last season.

Since a 4-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa are unbeaten in each of their last 21 Premier League in which they've led at half time (W18 D3).
