Mile Jedinak is a vastly experienced footballer, and deserves respect having proved himself in the Premier League and at international level during his career.

The 34-year-old, however, is currently having a very difficult time in central defence.

Jedinak has earned his keep as a central midfielder, but has been pressed into action at centre-back for Villa in the early weeks of the 2018-19 campaign.

The Villa fans have not been pleased with his performances in that area of the field, and he again struggled in Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Sheffield United.

Villa are actually currently on a run of five games without a win in all competitions despite boasting one of the most talented squads in the Championship.

Head coach Steve Bruce allowed Tommy Elphick to leave Villa Park on loan before the summer window closed, meaning that James Chester is the club's only senior centre-back.

The Villa supporters are becoming increasingly frustrated with Jedinak's performances, and have now criticised the 6ft 2in ace's display against Sheffield United.
