  1. Looks like he had a cracking game tbf. Would love him to play like this away from home too.
  2. You're right, and that's refreshing I suppose. I'm convinced if we can offer some more pace and power in attack, we'll have a much better side. Something like this after January: ---------------------------------Watkins-------------------------------------- Bailey------------------------Ramsey------------------------------New -------------------------Luiz----------------Kamara------------------------ That is a much faster, stronger team who can press the opposition with Luiz and Kamara being quality in possession behind the front 4. (Sorry, I know a lot rate Buendia on here).
  3. Can’t help shake that nagging feeling that this season has been an unnecessary waste. We really should have picked up 6-8 points more against the likes of Bournemouth, Fulham, Forest and Leeds. Not to mention we were very, very good against Chelsea for the most part. Hopefully Emery can get us fighting for a top 10 finish. I still think we’re short of a few players to do it but for the first time in however long, I really have faith in our manager.
  4. Does anybody know definitively who won the toss and chose what? I’d be very, very surprised if we decided to kick towards the Holte in the first half.
  5. He’s the kind of player you want coming on for the last 30 mins in an advanced position, hassling and harrying defenders and the oppositions deep lying midfielders. He’d be a nightmare to play against in that scenario I feel. I think he’ll probably be one we look to move on in the Summer as he’ll still fetch a decent price and Emery will want to bring in his own midfielders. I can actually see him, Sanson and Nakamba leaving potentially. Will be fondly remembered if he does leave.
  6. At this point it’s become a bit of a joke I think. There are some that rate him, but it’s just more that he just hasn’t had a look in after coming here with such a strong reputation. Personally, I’d love to see him come good, but the fact he hasn’t had a sniff since getting here probably means he isn’t cutting the mustard in training. Be interesting to see how Emery uses him.
  7. A wide forward would be nice in Jan. Unless we can shift a few, I imagine that would be the lot.
  8. He needs to be played in a position where he can run with the ball. He has an unerring ability to drive forward with the ball under close control and move us further up the pitch. He’s also worth a few goals each season too as he takes up good positions and isn’t afraid to make late runs into the box. As a 6/8 or wherever the f*** he was under Gerrard, he was wasted, now he’ll be played in a role that suits him more because the manager isn’t a cretin. He’s still got a ways to go but he’s developing into a very solid PL player. Hard not to really like Ramsey.
  9. He’s growing as a player. Luiz, Kamara and Ramsey should be the future for us in there, supplemented by a bit more quality over time.
  10. It’s fashionable to hate on Mings. I don’t know why, but you ask any fan of another club and they’ll tell you he’s shite. It’s all very odd. Look, he makes a mistake every now and again, but for the most part he’s f***** superb. I don’t think there are many better defenders in the PL than him on his day. If he didn’t make any mistakes, he’d be at a top club, without doubt, but right now, he’s our best defender and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.
  11. Not sure I understand the first part of your post. He’s not been bad for us. Digne has been fairly consistent since joining. He usually plays well and occasionally plays very well. He was expensive and I think it was probably a bit of a daft signing in terms of the cost involved but let’s not forget he’s a French International with a lot of quality. If he didn’t have the price tag attached, and say, came up through our youth ranks, we’d all be purring.
  12. I wouldn’t be writing off our most talented footballer if I were you. Everybody gets a clean slate under Emery. If his form doesn’t pick up, then so be it, we’ll probably be stuck with a dud for the next few years but I think he might surprise a few after the WC.
  13. Yep, that’s where I’m at. It’s such a shame he misses so many chances. But then, I suppose he wouldn’t be a Villa player if he scored them!
  14. Going to be difficult for me just turning up at random children's parties every week just to keep the win streak going.. But I’ll do it.
  15. 77% isn’t great is it. Would like to see how that compares to Bailey and Ramsey.
  16. I was just thinking this. Remember when he used to play as a make shift left back? F**** me, just how bad was Gerrard.
  17. Difficult for me to criticise him as I didn’t see the game, but how many times did he give the ball away today? Is he still our weakest link?
  18. Absolutely. I’d play the same team as today for the most part. Maybe a couple of changes, but don’t mess with it too much. Let’s knock them out.
  19. Only just catching up ffs. How did we set up today? Was it a 4231? Buendia on the right? Cant believe I missed this!
  20. Childrens birthday party. It just had to be. Only game of the season I’ve missed.
  21. Let’s hope he can play like this away from home once in a while!
