Wow. They loved him, didn't they.
-
That would only be if we were to bring in another striker in this window, which would seem to be unlikely.
-
No. We need him for now - I said that. But we will need a different type of striker as we go forward.
-
Yep. The game passed him by last night. His skillset is not really suited to Emery's playing style, but we still need him for now until we bring in a different type of striker.
-
I don't agree, Nick. We are a worse team without his presence up front. Very obvious in particular when we were under the cosh for long periods that we really missed him.
-
Played well last night, but needs to do that more often.
-
This guy is definitely special.
-
The first one signed under Emery, so hopefully that will not be the case with this one.
-
Excellent debut. Thrown in at the deep end but did well.
-
My 79th birthday today. Thank you, Aston Villa, happy birthday to me.
-
Both Baileys and Traore as well.
-
A bad and expensive mistake by Dendoncker is simply what it is. Another of the number of players we need to ship out.
-
I am very disappointed with Bailey. I thought he was such an exciting signing. Neither he nor Bailey is good enough to take us forward.
-
We can make top 6 with Martinez, Carlos, Kamara, Luiz and possibly Buendia, Ramsey and Watkins. The rest, I agree, not good enough, but I expect the owners to augment the squad with the players Emery wants to enable us to push on.
-
And with mid-table players we will never be better than mid-table. I hope, and believe, that our ambition is to be better than that, and as you say, there are a number of our players not good enough who will need to be replaced. Bailey would appear to be not good enough to be playing in our `mid-table team'.
-
And, by the way, that pass to him from Ings was incredible.
-
It is not really just about that miss last night, it's disappointing but that can happen to the best of players, and I have seen worse misses. His inconsistency is the problem. Occasional matches he is very good, but most matches he is poor. I really don't think he is good enough, and is one of several players who will be replaced.
-
Definitely a lonely schoolboy low on self esteem.
-
Agreed. No need to rewrite history. Gerrard brought in some very good players. But he was a shit manager.
-
I think under Emery's tutelage Ramsey will become a top class player. There is already so much to his game I think he will become a very important player for us.
-
Absolutely brilliant. Emery is the man. Some excellent performances, particularly Kamara, Buendia and Watkins, and Luiz MOM. Happy New Year to you all.
-
This is a quality manager, with the total backing of the owners. There will be bumps along the way. Give it time.
-
No, not that I remember. It was completely rigid. And my recollection, could easily be wrong though, was that in the Fifties the professional teams were playing a rigid 1-2-3-5.
-
Well, I played Left Half (left midfield) in the fifties, in a definite 1-2-3-5. Amateur of course. I also played the same position and same configuration in hockey. In my experience it was prevalent at that time. But I am probably a lot older than you and played at a lower standard. And I realise you are referencing the sixties.

It's the Doug Ellis Syndrome. Time (and the new owners) will heal us.
