  1. Agree. IMO, he's not a LW/LM and I don't think Unai sees him ending up there. Potential to be an excellent 10 but will do him good to get experience on the left as he develops and improves.
  2. Good to see informed opinions from OPs on the latest UEFA document. We all kinda knew that the Grealish sale covered over a lot of financial mismanagemnt and now UE/Monchi have a lot of work to do to rebalance our situation. Even with the listed players mentioned, i.e. deadwood, being cleared, we just need to accept that at least one of our 'star' players WILL be sold this Summer. Even with CL revenue we will need funds to improve the squad and this will be the easiset way to do it within the timescales required. IMO, Luiz or Emi will leave in the Summer and I'd say Luiz is more likely.
  3. Jeez man! Genuine question (assuming your post isn’t sarcastic)…..have you thought about stepping away from Villa for good? You clearly get absolutely no pleasure at all from supporting the club and seem to only focus on the downs and not the ups. We all know that supporting ANY club is the quintessential rollercoaster ride…..and if you cannot glean any joy from the considerable ‘ups’ we have had then surely time to step of the ride altogether. Your expectation of ‘decades of pain and misery’ is not worth putting yourself through it.
  4. Exactly this re injury opportunity…..see Miley at Newcastle, Mainoo at Utd, Bradley at Liverpool. Maybe, just maybe Tim…. go well young man.
  5. Bailey was struggling to get back to help Cash and Unai wanted to solidify the midfield with Kamara off. So choice was to keep a fresh Diaby on or a tiring Bailey? I can see his logic tbh.

    Unai Emery

    Quite telling that UE specifically mentioned Casemiro twice in his press conference as a very important player. I have a feeling he may bring Ramsey back on the left and push McGinn up off Watkins instead of Youri. McGinn’s energy and fight in midfield would very much be needed in there, up against Casemiro
  7. Kamara Carlos. Lenglet Moreno Bailey Luiz McGinn Ramsey Tielemans Watkins (assuming Pau not fit to start)
  8. Cash will be sold in Summer and replaced with another RB/CB hybrid…….but I’ll stop there as that’s another thread.

    Unai Emery

    I think the bigger issue is that he has lost trust in Cash to play the 3rd CB role, resulting in Kamara having to drop in and the midfield then losing all its shape and not being compact. Wouldnt be averse to seeing Kamara at RB on Sunday tbh. Cash just doesn’t have either the footballing intelligence or defensive capability to play the RB/RCB role which is essential to the system.
  10. Yep. I just don’t think he’s got the footballing intelligence to play how Unai requires. He cannot adapt his natural inclination to drive forward and, as we can see, it leaves us exposed and out numbered. I can really see now why Foyth was such a good fit for an Emery team.
  11. Or a regular back three of Carlos - Lenglet-Pau until Konsa is fit. Whatever the best option is, it is NOT Cash at RB unfortunately.
  12. Absolutely. Konsa missing at RB hurts us both defensively AND offensively. Kamara at RB should not be totally discounted……

    Ezri Konsa

    Agreed. I defo remember him getting back after a couple of weeks when expectation was 4-5, iirc.

    Ezri Konsa

    Great to have him back to start vs United. Yeah, with Kamara dropping back it does improve our passing into the 10s.

    Ezri Konsa

    True. Personally, I just feel we are more secure overall with Konsa at RB and also better offensively for the reasons i've mentioned and gives us the best chance of winning matches. No guarantees, obviously. Time for Cash to prove me wrong i guess.
