The 2 obvious positions to improve upon are RB and then the Second Striker. After that a proper ball playing centre half and another centre mid of the quality of Boubs and Doug for competition. Then maybe an upgrade on Buendia. That’s 4/5 new quality players supported by 2/3 top quality youngsters. Total 6/7 new players in.

I went for Emi motm. His save at 2-1 was massive. He’s a massive player for us. He’s been brilliant all season again. UTFV. Europe baby!

This has got 3-3 written all over it.

Get Cash off. He’s all over the place. We’re lucky to be leading that but fortunately Unai should be able to settle them down now. Still lots of drama in this!

Been awful so far. Get Young on.

City have thrown in the towel. We definitely need to get a win now

I really like the look of this guy. He is young, fast, strong, skilful and unlike many similar players, he plays with his head up and makes good decisions. It’s rumoured that he has a release clause of €35m. If true, he will surely go this summer. Hopefully it’s to us.

Maybe not. I think he’s got a lot to prove too. You could well be right mate.

Pace and strength.

Hasn’t got the physical attributes to be effective at PL level. Ollie is a couple of levels above him but both Duran and Archer are also a level above.

His press conference yesterday was his best yet. He is an utterly fascinating man. The way he talks about learning from lower level teams is so interesting. This guy is a sponge who just soaks up football brilliance everywhere he goes. I still can’t believe he is our manager. When he talks about challenging for champions league, you can’t help but believe him. He makes anything possible for us. We are so lucky to have him. I hope he never leaves. If he stays here for 10 years we will be unrecognisable by the time he leaves.

Hopefully

Getting rid of Danny Ings in January was an amazing bit of transfer business for us. He is absolutely done as a player. We’d have been saddled with his wages dragging down our ffp but fortunately he’s just doing it to West Ham instead now. More brilliance from our manager.

We will finish this season with Arsenal being the only team to have done the double over us. That’s quite amazing and to be fair, they were incredibly lucky against us at VP. Unai has managed to out fox everyone at some stage. To limit a rampant, in form, expectant Liverpool, like we did yesterday, was simply incredible. The cohesive and attractive way that we move the ball up the field is a joy to watch. I really think that our success has been built on our defensive strength. Unai will be looking to improve us in the final third next season and who knows what that will bring. Whatever happens, being a Villa fan is exciting again and that’s all down to our Spanish genius. Absolutely love him.

Hmmmnnn. I think we’ve been there. In my view, Ollie is a Championship wide forward. He is a decent premiership centre forward. He either plays 9 or doesn’t play at all. I think he will still be our 9 next season.

If we win today, we are practically there. COYVBs

Brentford are still well in this game. They are solid at the back and always carry a threat from set pieces. A draw here is very possible and it would be a great result for us. Still plenty to play for guys. This is going to go right to the end of the season.

That’s fair enough but just take away any controversy by waiting until the end of the season. You’re probably right and I was only being a bit mischievous to be honest but the football authorities really don’t help themselves.

They’ve had forever to ban him. Why now. Surely wait until the end of the season. It’s gives Spurs an unfair advantage over everyone else.

Ivan Toney banned just before the Spurs game. It’s almost as though the powers that be are desperate for Spurs to finish above us! That can’t be true……can it?

They’re bringing it back…..topical.

I can’t believe that we are still in the conversation with only two game’s remaining. That in itself is a massive achievement. For what it’s worth, the disappointment conditioned Villa fan in me is saying we will probably fall just short but Unai has been proving me wrong all season. If it continues for too much longer, I may have to switch my default setting to cautious optimism. COYVB.

He’s got loads more class than Davis. His goals will come.

Give this man whatever he wants. How he’s turned the Gerrard mess into an effective, coherent team is anyone’s guess! Best Villa manager in the modern era.

You can see that he has all of the necessary attributes to be effective and he is absolutely massive! He could easily be our main man in a few years. He’s only just turned 19!
