    I usually check first thing in the morning and end of day so twice actually. After 5pm and you’ll have to wait for the next day.

    I also agree. With Axel leaving I think we might need another backup CB but CDM is the most vital. It would change us drastically for the better.

    The fact he isn’t in a state of REM sleep during the game instantly makes him better then N’Zogbia.

    Oh come on- what about Nicky Shorey? I’ll get my coat.

    Love this and think his big heart is another reason he’s so great to have at Villa. Its reminding me when we used to have Acorns on the front of the Jersey and there was a great photo and interview with Laursen and Barry about the Villa Acorns partnership. it’s stuff like this that makes Villa extra special. Thanks Mings.

    Best wishes, closer to home and more game time sounds great for him.

    There was this fairly unspecific update from SG in the presser this week https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2022/january/06/the-presser--gerrard-speaks-ahead-of-fa-cup-clash/ Steven Gerrard: When asked about Leon Bailey, he said: “He’s good, he’s working hard. We’re four and a bit weeks post-injury and he’s progressing well, stepping up his rehab as the days go by. He’s focused on getting back in the best possible way. “It was an injury in a similar area to the first one, so we have to be careful and respect that, and make sure that when he is fit and available that he’s ready to play.”

    Agree. I also think the World Cup is going to motivate a lot of players to move somewhere this window to get game time and make the team. There’s just enough time to change a WC coaches mind and make it. I think it’s a great time to bring him in.

    Just think about his ball control. That should help

    Hopefully he gets our name right in the presser though…Robinho best blooper ever

    You have to love this site. I was hoping to find out who we are being linked with as defensive midfielder but instead have been sifting through who is our leading Cardiac expert. You would never get this on a Blues site. please Villa sign someone soon so we can get back to what we do best-debating if we should give the new signing more time…

    Steven Gerrard On the absence of striker Ollie Watkins, he added: "I'm not sure I'm in the position to give you the details on it but we have got a mixture of Covid and injury problems at the moment. Ollie should be back for the next game."

    Nice interview with SG on Sky. I think he is very respectful of Smith. He also talks about the Watkins and Ings conundrum. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11677/12506692/steven-gerrard-on-the-extra-pressure-he-felt-for-a-bright-start-at-aston-villa-and-how-he-managed-it Steven Gerrard on Sky "Aston Villa are stronger for having both options available; does that mean I'm going to force them to play together? No. Are there games where they can play together? Yes. The conundrum for me is an exciting challenge, and I've got to try to find the right answers and solutions. If one of them is injured or was to go, that doesn't make Aston Villa stronger or better at all - so we should appreciate both of them.

    I think he would be a great impact sub tomorrow 65 or 70 minutes in when the defense is getting ragged and not ready for a bit of trickery and speed. If we start with Buendia on the right he seems to not make a full 90.

    I understand this perspective. My view is not about hate but what’s good for Villa in the long term. I don’t want to see us repeat the rise of Man City where we sold Barry, Milner and Delph while saying we will take the money and it’s inevitable… We have well funded and run ownership which I hope see long term feeding Newcastle will only make our battle to get into the Europe spots tougher. If they want fringe players which they over pay for after the drop fine.

    Interesting comments from SG about Axel. I figured we would want him to stay till end of season but sounds like there is interest even beyond that. May be PR/ pressure to keep the loan. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/12691/12506741/steven-gerrard-aston-villa-boss-wants-to-keep-axel-tuanzebe-at-the-club-amid-napoli-interest Gerrard said: "It's very much in Ax's hands and Manchester United's hands. We want him here, we would be delighted to keep him. We don't just see it as a loan until the end of the season.
  19. villaslash
    Agree. Why would we let Newcastle strengthen? I hope they go down this season just to slow the imminent dumping of money on players. Man City were very strategic when they were rebuilding about not only buying good players but taking them from immediate rivals for higher positions in the league.

    From the Steven Gerrard presser today “He’s (Mings) a fantastic player, he’s led by example so far. I’ve been really impressed with him not just on the pitch but off it as well. I’m sure he’ll be missed in certain ways“ or perhaps SG might work with Mings to make him even better and not try to replace. So many other parts of the team need upgrades via transfers first.

    From the Steven Gerrard presser today “Whoever’s picked to replace Tyrone, whether it be Kortney Hause or Axel Tuanzebe, they have to make sure that we don’t miss Tyrone. “He’s a fantastic player, he’s led by example so far. I’ve been really impressed with him not just on the pitch but off it as well. I’m sure he’ll be missed in certain ways. https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2021/december/31/the-presser--gerrard-quizzed-ahead-of-brentford/

    How many defenders can really force Lukaku off the ball? Mings played that header wrong but it was going to be tough to get that header no matter what you tried. You really saw how strong Lukaku was for that 2nd penalty. If I wasn’t a Villa fan I would have to laugh when Targett just bounced off Lukaku. I was screaming for him to take him down before he got to the box but I’m not sure even a leg tackle would have worked.
