  1. Liverpool being ahead at home early, then losing by a comfortable margin..... ... are they Villa in disguise?
  2. Aye - we are missing a ruthless streak. How many times have we been in good positions in games and we let it slip? Apart from the past 2 home games, how about Man City away last year? Or Wolves at home? How many times do we score, only to concede within the next 5-10 minutes? Thankfully, I can see what Unai is trying to do. He wants to control games and to do that, you need to control possession. Our play out from the back and general movement of the ball is much better than under our former managers. I'm hoping it all clicks soon
  3. Simple. Against us they were clinical - 4 shots on goal for 4 goals (their 5th and last shot on goal came in injury time). Against ManUre? Nope. Typical
  4. Did nothing wrong today. Was unsighted for their first, unable to get to an excellent shot for their second and unlucky for the 3rd. Yep - he wastes time but if you are then going to say it's his fault we lost in extra time you need to take a long hard look at yourself.
  5. Not having that. We gifted Leicester 4 goals - sure. But their first 2 were well taken, the 3rd one just desperately unlucky and the 4th is an all-or-nothing goal
  6. It's an Alfa. You could put it in a crowd of the most amazing and interesting things and everybody will still only see the Alfa. Sooooo pretty!
  7. See those clumps of grass in the air between the 2 players? (odd shapped black things - there are 3 of them) They came from Grealish's boot. They got dislodged by the contact Ramsey made. That contact is enough for Grealish to fall, as it forces his trailing leg against his standing leg. If you've ever seen a Rugby League game - that's what's called an "ankle tap". Guaranteed to bring a player down no matter how big. Sure - Grealish exaggerates the contact to make sure the penalty was awarded - but it would have been awarded by VAR anyway. Why? Because it was a penalty. Poor from Ramsey, tbh.
  8. He's being carried along with Ramsey and, potentially, Buendia. That makes our right hand side the weaker side, and easy to exploit. Needs dropping.
  9. We can't keep gifting sides goals. First goal - Martinez blew it (gotta cover your near post, but he was static) Second goal - Chambers blew it Third goal - Ramsey blew it Of all teams, Man City do not need gifts. Yes we played better 2nd half but the game was already over.
  10. The acorns deal was one of the few decisions Lerner got right. Made me immensely proud to be a Villa fan. In fact, I only own a few Villa tops - acorns being one - and none of them have a gambling company on the front of the shirt. I wonder if we sell more shirts without a betting company main sponsor than we do with?
  11. Please be Gerrard. Please be Gerrard. Please be Gerrard. Please be Gerrard.
  12. I understand the frustration, but for mine it comes from other sources in the team - mostly Bailey and Ramsey I think inconsistency comes with the role. Going back through some of our more creative central midfield players, it seems it was ever thus: Merson Hendrie Delph Holman Ireland Hourihane Lansbury Barkley (though he was the most consistent: Almost always poor)
  13. My problem here is that this is football. We had an investigation into corruption regarding the voting around the world cup being held in Qatar. The outcome? Despite there being corruption, a couple of scape goats took a fall and the WC went there anyway.
  14. Their lawyers will win. It will be a fine.... ... and certain PL power brokers receiving a sudden unexpected windfall to keep a straight face in front of the media
  15. Be interesting to see the reaction of the players to this. I wonder who plays them next? Bugger.
  16. This one baffles me. The ball to the edge of the box in the middle of the field is schoolboy stuff. Your fullbacks are split. One of them even has his back turned (Mings) as he's "moving to his position". If something goes wrong (the pass is a little off, the first touch is poor or - in this case - 3 opposition players are waiting for it around the "D") then there is no way for the 2 CB's to recover in time. I can't honestly believe they do this in training. Its suicide!
  17. Not a single defensive player had a good game. That includes Kamara and Martinez, who made his first save in the 94th minute. Every other attempt on goal was a goal. Also singling out Bailey and Ramsay for being poor in that game. The real issue? We looked pretty good - but had so many players having bang average games that we gifted the a win.
  18. We look lovely in possession But we switch off for periods, especially after scoring. After their first it took about 10 minutes before we had possession in their half. And with 3 minutes to go before half time, half the side were looking to the break. Need to wake up
  19. Seen him score a ridiculously good goal and slice a simple clearance 20 metres straight up in the air in the same game. He's superb and horrible in equal measures. True Jeckyll and Hyde
  20. Pffft. Even I can score past Olsen.
  21. Would love Kamada if for no other reason than putting him on the pitch with Kamara makes for a nice commentator tongue-twister. Add the Ramsey brothers, Ashley Young and Kadan Young and now we're talking!

    Chelsea

    Smacks of Leeds. While I can't see Chelsea getting relegated and ruined like Leeds did they are still setting themselves up for a massive fall. Can't wait to see it happen
  23. I'm on the fence. If he turns out to be crap, I like him there
