    We need those injured back now, squad is looking to look thin, signs were there against Fulham and Brentford. How Casemiro didn’t get two yellows in the first half is beyond me. Referee just didn’t want to actually make a decision, he was a passenger throughout.

    I have a real worry that our thin squad is starting to look a little exposed. Really need Cash, Kamara, Bailey to get fit for a final push

    I don’t think we have the squad depth to hold our form, looked leggy against Brentford. Also, not sure whether the Europa Conference will be much of a draw for incoming players

    Southgate will trot out any old crap as long as he gets to keep picking his favourites. The bloke has wasted a generation and nobody has held him to account. Bellend!

    You do realise that “pedestrian pace” is deliberate to pull on the press? If you look, it is to draw teams onto us in numbers then play through into the spaces created behind. The slow pace is taking advantage of the “Villa Park” syndrome where the fans bay at their team to “get into them”, to find themselves sliced open and a goal down. Not sure how some people aren’t seeing this, we have been undone by it for years!

    It seems to be a reoccurring theme at Villa Park for me now, wherever I sit I am next to the idiot who spends the game slating the players, management, tactics and standards, usually with his kid doing the same, giving sage advice of why everyone is crap and why he would do it better. I am in my 50’s, it never used to be that bad, now it is rife. Bizarrely for my 50th my wife bought me hospitality, and I ended up sat in front of some drunken idiot who kept saying “I am paying your wages” at full volume for 90 minutes, You cannot even escape it in the posh seats

    I believe Emery’s face and interview post Saturdays game was quite telling. I think there Will be a number of outs and ins in the summer. I think we are lacking two key things, game intelligence and winning mentality. Those attributes are ingrained, he will be looking for coachable players that can do what they are asked, not egos whose arrogance and self indulgence cost us results. Looking forward to the summer

    Well that was 40 minutes of mediocrity I will never get back! Just shut the window and let’s get back to Emery ball with the benchwarmers gone

    What an utterly random quote? We are not challenging for the title, we are in a mid-season window and this is not Doug Ellis. Says something when you have to go back to the early 90’s for a reference

    It’s not the players is it, it’s the selling club having time to find a replacement and/or holding us over a barrel financially. we nearly went to the wall a few years ago due to mismanagement, it’s amazing how quickly people forget

    I cannot believe some are so desperate for a signing they would take the headless chicken that is Connor Gallagher. I think Emery is not just looking for pace and energy but football intelligence and the ability to take on board instruction. Gallagher has worse positional sense than McGinn had. I am fully bought into only signing players that improve us, if we cannot get them, keep our powder dry until the summer. We have money, I just don’t think Unai wants to waste it

    Can you block me too, hate amateur dramatics

    Neither do Newcastle, they are doing Ok!

    It’s informed risk management, you have no clue what is going on in the club, targets, timelines etc, but are panicking and making assumptions on what your believe, not what the club knows. Could it bite us in the arse, absolutely, But a chance to make money on Ings and free up a chunk of wages to support a replacement who is more aligned to Emery’s requirements is a calculated risk (and I would argue a no-brainer). FWIW, I am not doing 180’s, I am firmly in the “back Emery 100%” camp. He knows what he is doing
  15. macandally
    To stop it being an auction on wages? If he is on a free, he will go to the highest bidder

    Is tackling forbidden in that league? Either that or he is so good nobody can lay a glove on him

    We put a team out today and won, we have players coming back from injury that we have spent big on, and Danjuma was playing for Emery when he hit those stats, but you knew that of course. If he wants better, then I back him all the way, the experts are in the house now, no need to beat ourselves with birches “just in case”
  18. macandally
    The reason we are/were carrying crap players was this philosophy! Emery’s “we will only buy what improves us” is exactly right to move on
  19. macandally
    This, the push may have been soft, standing on his Achilles certainly wasn’t

    Should have been a couple up at half time, would have made life easier as we bossed the first half. Some of the one touch interplay to break the press was superb. They rallied second half but still thought we deserved the three points. Welcome to the “new” Villa!
  21. macandally
    Every time we play Southampton I think we should win, but we have had a couple of spankings off them in recent years, hope this is one where we boss it and bring home the points
  22. macandally
    No

    Wish people would stop flapping, some people aren’t happy unless their complaining
  24. macandally
    I think Mbappe would be a great signing, but cannot see him coming either
  25. macandally
    I think your hoping for Champions League performance at a mid-table club! Unless you can pay the PL Premium for performance, every player is a gamble. How much did Chelsea pay for Lukaku and see how that went
