Ex-Villa winger Froggatt: Current team not good enough

Former Aston Villa winger Steve Froggatt believes the current team is not good enough.

He says Villa's point at West Ham was a huge one for the club but questions their cutting edge after one goal in seven games.

"I think it was a really good point," he told the Birmingham Mail. "Having seen West Ham several times this season, and at the Boleyn Ground, they have been fantastic.

"As a player I know what it's like when you've been on a run where you can't buy a win or a goal sometimes it takes something like that just to get yourself going again- even though they were under siege and probably West Ham should have won that game.

"The concern is that it is still seven games without a victory and one goal. And the biggest concern is that lack of goals. Christian Benteke was terrific against Spurs and it just shows you how vital he is to the team because we haven't got natural goalscorers."
