ROTTERDAM1982

Luiz was good?    I must be watching a different game.

For me to get where we want to be we need to replace Marvellous, Luiz, Watkins and Ings. Not good enough quality on the ball. CC looked better on the left.

Put him behind a good striker

Compare their front 4.  

That is where we have to get to

Have you been watching Coutinho tonight?

Thats why he is playing, You could certainly play Emi instead of Luiz, but not PC

15 minutes ago, hippo said:

Yep - build the team around Buendia.

Not Ramsey?

 I'll get shot down, Buendia played well, but nobody will convince me he is a better player than PC. ut its all about having a good squad and i am more than happy to see both Emi and PC playing well.

Chambers made a difference. Positionally very good

Paul Merson..A walk through my life is worth a watch

Didn't mean to come across as so flippant abdomlahor, apoligies.

He might be a good player, probably will be, my point is i don't think we should allow an 18year old might be hang our club out to dry.

I think if SG rates/rated him, then he will sign

Hes hit the post so hes a good player?

Ramsey not as good as Luiz?

He might turn out to be as good as you seem to think he will be. I think he looks ok, but i've seen plenty of 18 year olds down VP who were going to be world beaters, Mark Burke springs to mind.

I still think he will sign a new contract, but i'm not going to get upset if he doesn't

Has there ever been a fringe player who has had  as much speculation about his future as this 18 year old.

I thought he looked very good against Chelsk, not too bad against Ure, but the rest of the games hes ok. 

I would like him to stay, but if he turns out to be half the player of Ramsey , i would be surprised.

Buendia has 3 goals in 60 gamrs in the Prem?,,,,something like that, CC is not the same kind of player PC, he is more like a Ramsey.

If you are happy with 8th to 14th then don't sign him, but don't complain when we don't.

Don't start

Told you PS.....Countinho, Jesus, and Raphina. Aim big

Presumably the board brought SG in to go for it, so hopefully this summer we go for it

Ins...Bissouma, NDidi, Raphinia and Jesus

Outs Bailey, Luiz, Sansom, Traore, Targett, Trez, El Ghazi and Ings

TIm, CC, Archer, and JPB along with Kessler should provide enough depth. Keep Konsa and Watkins, Watkins can play CF or wide right

I'd have Raphinia in a heartbeat

He positions himself, as a CDM better than DL.

19, looks a good back up for next season. Plenty of pace as well

I don't know if i am watching a different game, but put a decent striker up front with a better touch, and awareness than Watkins has, and he would have created 2 or 3 goals today.

He is a top quality player, we need better quallity around him. Ramsey played well today, Bailey......well, Watkins works hard, thats it.

3 off the top of my head he has been excellant in.

Not sure what you want/expect tbh

I thought FFP was dead.

Didnt a club threaten to take it to court?

The owners are worth £10 billion by the way

You not watch PC against Leeds x2, 1st Half against Spuds, Southampton?

If you can't see how good he is, if you are so warped in your views by your dislike of the Manager, if you can't appreciate the moments of magic that PC provides in dull games then i feel a bit sad for you tbh

Its like the old Hoddle arguement.

All i want PC to do is create 2 or 3 good chances in a game, but get midfielders on the pitch who can give him the ball quicker.

Luiz in the 1st half made Ray Wilkins look like Platini.

Luiz is a major problem imho

And Get?

Hes brought 3 players in. One of them is one of the finest footballers ever to wear a Villa shirt.

If Luiz, Watkins, McGinn, Ings, Bailey are not upgraded by this time next year, then fair enough.
