  1. Thought Gerrard was too conservative. We should have probed them a bit more from the get go.
  2. I know there is a gulf in class, but still expected us to show a bit more than we have. They are simply attacking in waves.
  3. Frankly, think it would be better for the branding to be distinct from Aston Villa. If I am a fan of another Premier League club it would feel awkward to root for a team which is overtly tied to AVFC. Furthermore, there will be a presumption that the club is a feeder team of Aston Villa which will turn off fans as well.
  4. If we get 7-9 pts from our next 5 matches which includes Norwich, Burnley and Leed - we will be on pace to get 52-56 pts at season's end. That will definitely get us in the top-half and potentially as high as 8th position. Given our disastrous start that would a good achievement.
  5. I'd give him the rest of the year off to get to 100% fitness.
  6. £30m is a lot to pay for a player with these attributes
  7. Think tonight showed that Luiz is better as an 8. Chuck still raw - should go out on loan. We have good options in Ramsey and Sanson.
  8. Yes they are world class, but teams worse than us have played better against them. That's my disappointment.
  9. Thank you for the 20 minutes against Everton.
  10. Thought he was off the pace and made a couple of bad decisions. Would stick with our current trio in midfield.
  11. The lack of contrast between the gold lion and the light blue background and Aston Villa (the most beautiful club name) not being spelled out are the two biggest gripes with the current badge.
  12. Norwich just updated their crest. Very nice explanation on the update on their official website and special crest website
  13. Had we held on against Wolves we would be 9th.
  14. Looked pedestrian. Hopefully SG can light his fuse.
  15. Don't like that we are taking long throw ins at every chance in the oppositions third. Save it for a few times in the match. Other than the Ings goal, can't remember too many times we looked very threatening from it.
  16. His chance will come. The current formation is not optimal for him.
  17. There will be a lot of experimenting with this squad, so feel we need to be patient until the 2nd half of the season when we will have a better idea of what works best.
  18. We rode the 3-5-2 as much as we could. Now back to regularly scheduled programming.
  19. Why is GK kit yellow? Clashes with Wolves. Should be the green one.
  20. 7 pts from these matches and we are in business.
  21. Wonder if mid-season we will recall some of our loanees (Barry, Young) and send a few from this group out instead (Caleb, A.Ramsey).
  22. Recently top sides have shown you dont need a prolific goal scorer and can do it by committee, so I am not too concerned about how many goals our strikers get, however the number of chances Watkins has missed is poor and needs improvement.
  23. Our formation will really dictate who we sign in the next two transfer windows. For example if we play 3-5-2 we probably need a proper left wingback.
  24. We are still not in peak form. Watkins, Buendia, Traore and Bailey have a lot more to give.
