  1. Why on earth would anyone need that explaining to them?
  2. People complained about Tammy doing it at Blackburn away, then he started banging them in and surprisingly no one mentioned it again...
  3. Completely agree, would be the equivalent of the Friedel signing for me. I'd be very happy to sign Butland but if we could get Heaton for a fraction of the price then that would be my preference.
  4. I'm pretty sure that was after O'Neill as well, Houllier's season wasn't it?
  5. Angriest Norwegian since Anders Breivik
  6. This post should be copied and posted as a response every time someone makes the Fulham comparison over the next two months.
  7. Watched a different game to me, obviously the opposition were poor but thought he was the only player on the pitch confident and able enough to switch play quickly. He had a spell in the second half when he hit 3/4 near perfect crossfield balls in a five minute period. He messed up his only decent free kick opportunity by trying to go under the wall and hitting Duffy but his corners were threatening all night, far better than the couple Brady took when he came on. Was no more than a steady performance but by no measure could it be described as horrendous.
  8. I wouldn't agree with the bolded statement based on what I saw of Tomori this season. Tuanzebe was great for us but he is really really poor in the air, if he improves that aspect of his game he would be amazing but it's a serious weakness currently.
  9. Don't disagree with the wider point, it was our second penalty though. Hourihane went first
  10. I know he’s being linked with some of the top 6 but I would love us to make a move for Ryan Fraser, he completely fits the profile of what Purslow talked about in that interview and would definitely see us as a step up from Bournemouth
  11. He’s in the Villa end today, just met him queuing for a beer
  12. So composed on the ball but awful in the air, I’ve never seen a centre half actively avoid heading long straight balls away as much as he does. I really like him but he’s got to improve that if he’s got any chance of making it as a Premier League centre half, pace and composure only gets you so far
  13. Why are you spending your Wednesday night on an Aston Villa forum?
  14. As false as the Infinity War alternative ending you posted last week
  15. Trying vainly to keep this thread from being about Bruce... I thought Bree did ok when he came on last night in the circumstances, let a couple of balls bounce that he shouldn't have but other than that hard to find too much fault in either he or Tuanzebe. Obviously not a long terms solution there but every time he does play I always think he shows his potential. He really could have done with a loan move this season.
  16. It’s obviously not going to be this formation
  17. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Green run past a full back, I’d wager Adomah, Bolasie and El Ghazi are all quicker than him. He’s probably been the most unimpressive of any our youth players that’s broken into the first team the past few years. Move suits all parties, he needs games and we can’t afford to carry him
  18. I didn’t see the Ipswich game but every other match this season I think we’ve been massively shown up fitness wise
  19. The strange thing is claiming Sky have an agenda and enjoy us losing. Is that the whole of Sky, just a specific department or is it Scott Minto that has that particular agenda perhaps?
  20. Literally have no idea what you are talking about. Sky enjoy showing us because they get better viewing figures, I really wouldn’t get worked up about it
  21. You always get so hung up on what games Sky show, there isn't a conspiracy and it has no bearing on the result.
  22. He signed Bowen for Hull when he was 18, Andrew Robertson was only 20 when he signed him and Harry Maguire was 21. Obviously Hull gave him different instructions from above

    Thierry Henry

    Why is anyone entertaining Hippo? It's exactly this sort of nonsense that derails any manager thread before we get to see how the results play out.
