cheltenham_villa

not that ive noticed but ill ask my mate when i see him. its odd isnt it, i sort of assumed it was some sort of crowd control thing.

I think the delay is quite possibly linked to our champs league qualification but not sure if its necessarily pricing. I wonder if we will get more of a compulsory cup scheme. Or they are still to identify all of the areas for GA+ and it may impact some current ST seats. I have friends in the first row of the holte where seats are unsold for european comps, they have to apply for available seats each game. I wonder if the champs league comes with any more restrictions?

I guess i was taking my villa hat off and thinking if im putting all that money into a stadium, it needs to be used more than 20 times a year. Having a large stadium very close to a large city centre for me means that you can maximise its usage. I dont know if its makes business sense to have a really large stadium where villa is currently located.

I'd only build a new stadium if he moved to the city centre. I'm not convinced it would be worth it in our current location if I'm honest.

surprised not to see him get a run out today, even to close out the game. It probably suggests his time with Unai may come to a close soon.

Reminded me a lot of Ramsey today. Taking the ball on the half turn and driving at the defence. I still don't think he's fit, definitely tires late in the game. Can't wait to see what he achieves.

An unbelievable performance. I don't know how many times he beat both the centre half and right back. They didn't have an answer to him. I really wanted him to score, I also wanted him to be a little less selfish right at the end when we could have had a 4th. Regardless, he is amazing and a real leader st the front.

i think Pau will play at left back in the same way Konsa does at right back. But were all guessing. Nice problem to have I think.

will out conference league run also help us earn more in europe next season. I saw that United took c50m from the champions league this year vs Newcastle taking c25m despite both going out in the group stages. I believe this was all down to co-efficient

Id go Emi Konsa, Carlos, Lenglet, Moreno Mcginn Luiz Youri Bailey Watkins Diaby

i assume you dont remember seeing him take pens Ive no issue with Pens being included, we dont exclude one yard tap ins. A goal is a goal.

helped get us a point we might have lost and possibly Unai would have rested him vs Arsenal. This is an easy comment with hindsight

Why rest him, you are then imposing your own ban?

this is how i feel as well, if i ignore the fact that hes young and up against a strong city midfield, i just didnt think he played very well. Positioning not great and didnt think he tried to impose himself. Doesnt mean i dont want him to be a success.

Agree, the intent was there. Does anyone know where his best position is though, we're using him from the left, I wasn't convinced that he was a left sided player when we signed him
