    The worlds number 1!!!

    Is it only me that gets annoyed with Konsa dithering on the ball?

    ... Imagine if we played this game with a bit of bravery

    Very sloppy in this second half. Thought we might pick it up after a fairly ordinary first half - but no. We needed to make a change.... ... but we have little on the bench

    Not sure I agree with you. 1 season in the champions league would mean: A better chance to keep our best players A better chance to attract better players Some global exposure More money A great experience for fans And that's all a big change on this season

    Arsenal

    "Bottling" something is a bit cliche, no? Certainly open for interpretation. I mean, if you turned up half-arsed with no clear plan, played like a bunch of strangers and struggled with the basics all the while just expecting to win - then that, in my opinion, is bottling it. And by that definition, Liverpool bottled it, but Arsenal did anything but. They were simply out-played by a better team despite their excellent start to the match.

    I'm not a fan of Carlos... ... but in a sea of outstanding Villa performances, he's my MOTM. Thought he was excellent today.

    Good game of football. Some good stuff from both sides. Torres worries me defensively, but Carlos has been good again. Zaniolo good too

    I like him. I'm more than twice his age.... ... but still have more hair than he does

    So fast is Van Der Ven. 37 km/h top speed. I've heard it multiple times in this match.... ... but I can tell you exactly how fast he was going for those 2 Newcastle goals. Hard to get above 0 km/h when you are on your butt.

    Pretty sure Sanka made himself look silly - should have been a penalty.

    Ezri Konsa

    ozvillafan replied to MaVilla's topic in Villa Talk

    This all day. Their 2nd and 3rd came from crosses on his side where he hardly "busted a gut" to stop the cross coming in. Just a lazy leg and a turn of the body in case it might hit you. Sunday league stuff. Cash often gets stick for his defensive abilities - but he puts his body on the line often to stop those coming in.

    Straight up: I'm not a huge fan of Carlos. However, he was the best of our defenders today against Brentford. Should have had a penalty and a lovely read to stop one of their only attacks on the break in the first half. I thought he was solid throughout. Let down badly by both Pau and Ezri, however.

    This all day. The reason why Paul McGrath is rightly revered is he could do both. He could head the ball clear, he could tackle, he could read the play and intercept and he could mark. I've heard Pau often mentioned in the same breath in this thread - but his defendng is not great. He's not a great read of defensive situations which puts pressure on the other defenders. It's not a once off either: There are numerous times in previous games he drops out of the defensive line and plays attackers on - particularly in our box - but we haven't been punished for it. For the second and 3rd today he made poor defensive decisions when all that was needed was to mark a man (or the right man for the 3rd). He needs to get better, otherwise we have a perfectly good defender ready to take back his spot (next season, once he recovers from the ACL).

    Pau Torres. Wonderful with the ball at his feet. Woeful with his defending in the box.
  16. ozvillafan
    Dougie out against Arsenal
  17. ozvillafan
    this ref. He's as out of his depth as Konsa is across the halfway line
  18. ozvillafan
    My word. Get both Pau and Konsa off the pitch. Woeful. I don't care who comes on - they simply aren't at the races
  19. ozvillafan
    Zanka and Ajer suit this Brentford side. They are grade A whingers, stirrers and nigglers - the perfect companions for Maupay and Mee
  20. ozvillafan
    I find the same with Arsenal - which was why the 0-0 bore draw between Pep and Pep Jr on the weekend was tame and timid. In the top 5, Liverpool, Spurs and us play the more entertaining football.

    I'm not sure I understand the vitriol towards Unai, nor the expectation around this one. Arsenal couldn't beat Citeh at the Etihad. Liverpool couldn't beat them at home Man City have not lost a game since.... checks records ... us! The team that last beat Man City (us, btw) retained only 1 of the front 6 that defeated them - largely due to injuries and suspensions And after all that - I still think it would have been a closer game had we not gifted the 2nd by a simple error. And this while fielding a young and mostly 2nd string side! I'm disappointed with the result, but excited for where we are heading.
  22. ozvillafan
    Rodri the difference. Foden's finishing was great. From our lot, only Chambers concerns me. Would be happy to see him leave. The rest did well all things considered - the 2nd goal was the killer.
  23. ozvillafan
    Chambers
  24. ozvillafan
    Actually a really nice goal from Citeh. Can't fault anyone there - Rodri a little lucky with a fortunate bounce from the challenge.
  25. ozvillafan
    Unfortunately, Luiz needs to come off. Can't afford a 2nd yellow and with the amount of defending we are doing it seems inevitable.
