In five games, Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio have given Aston Villa a tantalising glimpse of their talent, but Unai Emery's loan stars cannot solve his greatest problem.
The pair have made their presence felt in less than a month at Villa Park, with Rashford registering three assists and Asensio scoring twice to help Emery's men fight back from a goal down to beat Chelsea.
Yet as second-half substitutes, they were helpless to turn the tide this week as Villa were thrashed 4-1 at Crystal Palace, one of their worst displays of the season.
