Why did he have to hold the keepers arm, there was no need

Thought he played well, a very able cover and someone who would be great as a squad option.

There's a lot to be pissed about than his celebration, we didn't lose so you gotta be grateful

Why the F*** is he celebrating that goal

First premier league goal, why not? His teammates let him know.

I think this was always coming, we need to learn how to break teams down and be clinical. To be losing against the bottom team in the league is so bad.

Sky coverage is pathetic, break then talk about other games and then another break

**** these nerves!! We gonna win 4-0 come on you Villa boyzzz

They look like they've come for the point. Hope we can break them down. Just Zaniola who may be able to affect the game off the bench

Don't think we will, but if you were Emery, would you sacrifice a potential FA Cup run by playing the youth team against boro to focus on the ECL and title/top 4?

Yes

We are doing what Newcastle did last year, difference being we've won more and the top two are with distance. This is how the rest of the country will see us and won't take us seriously. I guess enjoy it whilst we can, top 4 needs to be the aim now.

Why is he on the 3rd page, criminal!  

What a player, he seemed to be involved in the kafuffle after the Watkins goal, seemed he was taking on the whole Brentford team by himself.

I see a future captain with him!

Any chance the red is overturned?

No chance, had his arms raised. Would be very surprised

He seemed to have a look of guilt coming off the pitch, think he knows he caused the situation to get Kamara sent off. Emery will be pissed.

Red mist took over, he'll learn but we'll surely miss him for 3 games now. Stupidity 

Surprised he didn't get sent off for that, he's bat shit crazy

Does anyone think this could be us next year, if we make champions League I hope we get out the group stages

what if the wet shirt is actually more performance enhancing than the dry look, i mean we are 3rd...coincidence? i think not!!

I do wonder if he'd be better suited to play from the left, it was so obvious he was looking to cut in from the right, broke down our attacks at times

I think we are basically doing what Newcastle did last season. Think we will eventually tail off, just gotta hope we fall.amongst the champions League places but my gosh am i all in for the title ride whilst it lasts. Let's keep the home record up and improve away and you just never know.

Play the B team, don't let some of the rest to travel. They could do without the journey.

Really need another goal, please Villa hold on. I fear if it's 1-0 they'll just dominate possession towards the end of game

I just watched the highlights of last seasons 4-2 loss, man that really hurts the way we conceded the last two. We need to get revenge

The pass on 1:19 was my favourite. First time ball with such pace and accuracy that it drew a panicked yellow card tackle from Stones. 

Couldn't agree more,I was shitting bricks but his calmness on the ball is something else

I can see why the temptation is there to pick a person who seems to be a good cultural fit with the team, but what I've seen that tend to boil down to is building teams that become an old boys club, and though rarely deliberate, often ends up with a recruitment trend that'd have your HR team having an absolute **** meltdown if they saw the decision making, as it risks looking racist, sexist and or ageist

It's not all about experience, and there is plenty of scope for there just being something "off" about the better candidate on paper,  maybe they don't seem trustworthy, or confident, etc, but you need to be careful it isn't "does their face fit" as it risks being very dangerous ground, IMO. Ultimately you're hiring a person to do a job, not recruiting for a new mate.

Yes good point mate and very true, I am just going by how my previous boss would do things, so it's my first time recruiting someone. She would go for the right fit and try and mould them into the team. 

I agree it's about the job, the right thing to do is to be professional about it and give it to the best candidate out there

Not an answer, but things to consider:

• Do you have the resource (time/money/expertise/personnel) to train the inexperienced person?
• How set in their ways are the individuals? Willingness to learn/grow/change habits is much more valuable than accumulated experience.
• Is the person actually dull, or are they just reserved in an interview situation? Only time will tell.

No don't really have the time to train this person up to be honest, I think dull was a bit harsh from me, they weren't dull just not as personable than the other candidate. However, people do open up later and show their true side. 

I think I will go down the experience route, it sits better for me and is the right thing to do
