Mellberg says that maybe O’Leary criticises him so much because of the expectations that the Villa boss has for him. ‘I feel in the main I have had a good season. I have made one or two mistakes but overall I have been consistent. I know the manager expects a lot of me and for me to be one of the best players out on the pitch in every game. Maybe that is why he sometimes criticises me when I am not so good!’
29-year-old Swansea striker Lee Trundle has been linked to Villa having impressed this season with 17 goals in league one.
