Aston Villa owner Tony Xia has hinted that he is ready to make further changes to the club's playing squad following back-to-back defeats to kick off the new season.
The Villans followed up Sunday's late loss to Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship with a surprise 3-1 reverse at Luton Town on Wednesday night.
Chinese billionaire Xia, who has seen his side go six months without a win in any competition, admits that certain players 'are not worth being given a chance' at Villa Park.
"It is much more challenging to be an owner & fan than to be an owner or a fan! A big talk needed. UTV!" Xia said on Twitter. "Even [though] we agreed to take the LC (EFL Cup) match as checking game, some players are not worth being given chance."
Villa have spent £24m on new recruits since their relegation from the Premier League last season, bringing in Ross McCormack, Aaron Tshibola, Pierluigi Gollini and Tommy Elphick.
