  1. Think we have a side to win a trophy this year. Hope we give the FA Cup a real go. For ManUtd, would put Barkley in for Traore and switch Grealish to the right wing. Mings in for Hause.
  2. We are a very competent side. Players looked gassed though. Can't see us doing much second-half. Will likely need something off of a set piece or some Grealish magic.
  3. My prediction is that we will get plenty of chances. Result will depend on if we can convert them. If we do I envision a 3-2 victory.
  4. Reassuring to see Crystal Palace score against Leicester and West Brom getting a draw against Liverpool. Makes our performance against them that the more impressive. Also Burnley had far more opportunities against Leeds than against us and were unlucky to have a goal disallowed and given a penalty against them.
  5. Reassuring to read the quotes from Smith about the signing and Traore's attitude.
  6. The commercial revenues (beyond TV money) of these clubs are significantly higher than other clubs in the Premier League. That's where there is a major chasm that needs to be narrowed by clubs like Villa and Everton or else FFP will get in the way of squad development. The other day I was listening to an interview with the Milwaukee Bucks General Manager where he mentioned trading notes with Aston Villa on Covid protocols at venue. Hopefully, they are also exchanging best practices on the commercial and marketing side.
  7. Just listened to the Crystal Palace review. Enjoying the sober analysis from Jugsy and Chadsy and helps differentiate the podcast from a few others where the guests tend to be more emotional in their analysis.
  8. What's impressive is that we are really in control matches and creating so many chances. It's not like we are just getting lucky and nicking a few victories.
  9. It's pretty clear we can create chances against any team, therefore in games like this it is really about taking them. Chelsea will score 1-2 goals, it's whether we can find the net 3 times. Think we win 3-2 with Watkins and Grealish scoring - they are due.
  10. I definitely was one of the most critical voices of the initial signing and I'm still here Great to see the form he has been on in the last 2 matches - long may it continue.
  11. Can you do a similar one for top 4 (i.e. UCL qualification)?
  12. He's been our MOM the last 1.5 games. I'll owe a massive apology if he keeps this up.
  13. The first alone could have been a red card for a pretty violent looking stamp. Really let us down today.
  14. He signed in Dec 2018. Purslow would have been CEO then and Smith the head coach. So can't really blame anyone but our current management if the contract is indeed so toxic.
  15. I'd go for someone experienced who is willing to be a squad player. Deeney? He seems to have a lot of positive things to say about Villa and Dean Smith these days. Then loan out Davis and Wes so they get matches.
  16. He is contracted for a few more years, so hopefully he impresses at Hajduk Split and someone comes in for him.
  17. If we can be resolute at the back, feel we will win this comfortably. Important to win this one to bolster our top 10 credentials, as I see a bad patch coming up in the following four matches.
  18. I'm a fan of his, but let's wait until he performs against better sides.
  19. He has had 2 goals ruled out due to horrendous VAR decisions. He is doing fine.
  20. If he stops shooting from outside the box, he can be a very good player for us.
  21. Agree. Would put Ramsey in the middle and move Grealish to the left.
  22. The one silver lining is that Traore and El Ghazi are getting a run of games so we better evaluate exactly where they stand in our squad.
  23. Looks like a gap will form between the top 11 teams and the bottom 9.
  24. Surprised at how well Andersen is doing for Fulham. He was poor at Lyon in the one season he played there.
