my ESPN stream has a really annoying ex chelsea player who cheered when they scored

Archer > Werner

anyone elses stream have 2 random chelsea fans having a conversation in the background?

quite a few of my mates have been impressed with archer, they reckon he will score. I think we are being harsh on him here, he is taking up the right positions and has confidence, pace and movement. He will score in this game i reckon. his finishing could definitely be better this game, but based on his movement alone I would feel comfortable seeing him in the prem for us.

could be something in that, its a reasonable theory tbf. feel for the bloke though, he's clearly talented

maybe i spoke to soon....please don't be out injured for ages again Morgan!

Sanson looks really calm and composed on the ball. impressed and predict we will see him in the starting line up sooner rather than later.

we're doing alright here, good performance from the away fans aswell

come on villa

fairly subdued prior to the first goal....as soon as that first one flew in though, we were in full flow....fantastic

Leon Bailey - Instant Impact, simple....what a player he is going to be. Very refreshing to see somebody who has no fear, isnt afraid to run, take people on, and most importantly, have a shot.

cov 1-0 up against millwall, surely they will be in and around the play off places this year?

Saido Berhahino scores for sheffield wednesday....remember when he was meant to be the next big thing about a decade back......28 now

impressive peformance by Brentford thus far. I always worry in games when we go a man down, they seem to have weathered the storm though and not buckled. I liked the look of Baptise and Onyeka. They clearly love timewasting, as a team, however. That was extremely apparent in the home game v them a couple of weeks ago.

I feel like this one is a potential banana skin for us. Rafa has got them playing simple football, utilising wing play and maintaining discipline. its definitely a winnable game, but also one i am wary of being too confident about. Townsend and Gray were picked up on a free and on the cheap respectively, and rafa seems to be getting performances out of them. I hope we dont give them to much time on the ball or let them shoot from the edge of our box. to win this we have to match them for effort whilst ensuring we have that cutting edge we lacked so much last week.

A goal before HT would be ideal. Chelsea will sub off Saul for jorginho who will calm everything down.....this is our opportunity

we need to hear more from the away fans, this is a poor showing from them thus far, considering we are putting in a proper shift on the pitch...come on guys.....something not been right for the last few games with our fans both home and away

Personally Hause, as he is better in the air....would be better at marking lukaku at corners than tuanzebe...if it wasnt for konza it would be 2-0 from the corner

lets do this thing

Tough one, but oddly im feeling optimistic. This fixture seems to be one which we don't do nearly as badly as we did a decade or so ago, and we have gotten a few surprising and impressive results against them recently.

Sheffield United appear to really be sturggling at the moment, and one thing you are guaranteed with Conor in the championship is goals and assists. Its a good move for both parties and I do think he can bring that experience and know how to a championship team, settling them down a bit and being the difference between getting 3 points or 1 in some games. Not sure they will be getting promoted this year, but there is the chance via playoffs i suppose. We kicked into life with that 10 game winning run a few years ago, so its always possible. Good luck Conor!

If he has gone to Fulham, then I do think that will be a good move for him, bad for us. They are attacking and forward thinking, top of the championship. Guilbert will shine in the championship, prpbably get promoted, sign with Fulham permanently and then show fans of other teams in the premier league that he is a decent modern full back. This is a mistake from us and it will come back to haunt us later in the season due to injury/suspension and lacking an attacking impetus i fear.

oh yeah my bad, my statement is totally null and void .... we cannot allow that to be the case, otherwise we will be walked over in future by them 2 and other players. I hope they do honour the agreement they struck

Do we actually know, for certain, that there is a deal between the 2 players and the club? The official Villa twitter post mentioned that the players will link up with the national team, with their blessing. It didn't mention anything about a gentlemans agreement. For all we know, that could be some chancer on social media starting and then peddling a myth and that then being taken as gospel by the fanbase when spread via social media. We shouldn't start spouting off about Emi x2 until we know for certain there was indeed an agreement between Villa and the players to only play 2/3 games.

El Ghazi was brilliant today I thought, on another day he would have had a couple of assists. Watkins was unlucky not to put that header in at the near post, i think with a bit more composure, or maybe a few more minutes on the pitch, he might have buried that one and won it for us at the death. Brentford looked like a solid forward thinking teams who caused us some problems, as we did them, so in that respect it was a fairly even game. Perhaps they were the slighlty better team, us having the slightly better chances, with the ings snapshot and watkins header. I think most of us expected more than 4 points from these 3 fixtures prior to the beginning of the season, but when you consider the disruption to the first 11 today and that we will pick up some points from games we don't necessarily expect to win, its not the end of the world. Good to be back at VP again and hopefully another win against Chelsea at the bridge in 2 weeks time.
