  1. Nah. First predicate is way off. Zaniolo hasn't been great, but been good in his last few games, including scoring in his last appearance. Ramsey may be getting up to speed, but he's not there yet. You pick players on form, not reputation - otherwise Bailey would be warming the bench.
  2. Zoolander performance from Lenglet - couldn't look left!
  3. Well... that was closer than I hoped. 3 things I learned: Trafford is a great keeper. Possible Olsen replacement? The old Villa doesn't get 3 points here Football is not a contact sport anymore
  4. ... why do I have a bad feeling about this one?
  5. The ManUre game was a perfect game for Ramsey. They didn't play a low block meaning he had space to run into and terrify their defence.... ... but he did bugger all. Unfortunate. Zaniolo starts over him, for mine.
  6. He's not a right back. He's been good all year but his best performances are at CB. I can't count the number of balls "down the line" he hit straight out.
  7. Very poor tonight, I thought. Gave the ball away and couldn't defend the counter for our first. Free header from a corner not 8 yards out - header not on goal Those 2 moments summed him up. I thought he was sloppy, overly physical when not needed and a step behind the pace.
  8. There's the Villa I grew to know and love! After having complete control of the game after 25 minutes, we simply switched off. Zero effort, zero composure on the ball, no 2nd ball, no period of sustained possession/control. Iroegbunam MOTM - nobody else deserves it.
  9. There was already a shocker for that Garnacho free kick. Not only was there little contact, the ref let them take 2 touches, then us take 2 touches and only when we were through on the break called it back for the free-kick. That's not advantage - that's bollox.
  10. Cant seem to get a foot on it in midfield since the 2nd. I've seen McGinn and Luiz both turn over easy ball under moderate pressure. Shame. After the 2nd we should be turning the screw, but we seem to have slipped back into 1st gear - we almost made them look good for 25 minutes.
  11. I heard he was living in a lonely world. He took the midnight train going anywhere.
  12. Still got a great shot and killer pass in him.... ... but you can't play him without Nakamba doing his dirty work.
  13. Hmm.. I simply don't rate Pacqueta. Bowen and Kudus, however, are excellent.
  14. Right culprit, wrong rat. It was Saka at Arsenal. Who'd have thought?
  15. Everton robbed too. Goal chalked off for the softest "foul" you'll ever see vs Spurs (defender loses the ball, goes to ground clutching leg that was never touched).
  16. Horses for courses. Ramsey is great running at defences with space. Not so good in a low block..... ... so I agree. Should have started tonight
  17. Yeah, this is the bit that stings. The keeper was up, on his line an unhindered by the time we regained possession. We then scored. Goal should have stood.
  18. Game was screaming out for Buendia to help us against a low block. Some interesting decisions and while I think Ramsay has fouled the keeper - how far back do you go? You could argue he was fouled first, which means a penalty. Clearly change of phase, and the keeper was up and in position when we scored. All that said - we needed to create more and we didn't. Good goal from Zaniolo to keep us undefeated at home
  19. I didn't think there was a team that could match ManUre for being utterly and totally dislikeable... ... but with Mee and Maupay, Brentford are getting close.
  20. Agreed. It's not just that he stopped and propped - he changed his line to make sure there was contact. You can't give that.
  21. Could have used his creativity against a Brentford low-block. Thankfully, Ben Mee made it easier for us. ..... cue Delphino to enter the tread
  22. More suited to a Small Heath fan? 3 fingers on the right hand, 4 toes on the right foot an and indeterminate number of fingers on the left. Just like the inbreds. ... has some teeth left though.
  23. I'm not seeing the argument here. Are we in a title race? Yes. We are 2 points from the top. Will we win it? Unllikely. We have a lot of footballl to play and a small-ish squad. Can we address that? Maybe. Jan window soon - but that doesn't mean quality is available. Is it exciting? Is it what!
