Micah Richards

i dont really blame Torres, he got beat for pace but we had 3 other defenders in the box marking the Wolves attacker. We should have more than enough to clean it up.
-
Lost the ball but in a very safe area. To be fair we had good numbers back, we just didnt pick up the goalscorer and the deflection off Digne did us no favours. Not his greatest game, to be expected though.
-
yeah i commented somewhere else that Salah and Bruno definitely get those pens. I still dont personally think that makes it a pen though. You see this type of contact all the time in free kicks and corners. Just my personal opinion it isnt quite enough contact, which is probably why Ollie is able to get a cleanish strike away.
-
not written him off, just trying to work out what i expect. I dont think i see him as a starter, i think hes probably in with Bailey, Tielemans, Ramsey, Carlos starting 10-20 games a season and featuring in nearly every games. Thats not a criticism. The big plus for me is how quickly he has come in and actually been effective. Hes played a lot of games already and hasnt looked like a stranger at all.

i wouldnt describe it as outrageous. Its a definite push but probably gentle enough to go down as contact. Of course id have liked the pen, if its given against us though im arguing and calling it a stupid challenge. If the ref gives it, i think VAR keeps it as a pen, if he doesnt i dont think theirs enough personally to over turn it.

While I've enjoyed his cameos, I often wonder if he offers more than say a Traore? He's a slightly different player as his size and physicality is a good weapon for us but I'm fairly sure Traore would have outscored him given the same game time.
-
Its a very difficult situation to balance, at some point it looks like we maybe paying Ollie Watkins c150k per week at the age of 32.

Henry Lansbury was recently on Ben Foster pod cast and spoke a bit about Johan. If you ignore the poor form then Henry comes across as very likeable and professional. He mentions Johan as the one who put him out of the 25 man squad and then made him train with the reserves. Seemingly Johan was pulling a number of these strings over Dean himself. None of it surprises me, it's the cut throat nature of football but I often wondered him much power these footballers have and how much they continue to have over the manager.

I quite like the kit, not the sweaty part but the design has really grown on me, like it does every year.

Give us a champions league game at home to psg and you'll hear an atmosphere. Sometimes you need the opponent, the occasion for it to come.

i hadnt realised but under 14s get in for free. If i compare it to a couple of hours in the fan zone it starts to become much more attractive. I think the biggest issue here is the loss of an area for season ticket holders. I think if this was brand new in a brand new space it would be much more accepted.

one of my favourite things yesterday was the kicking from Emi into Zaniolo down the villa left. Zaniolo left so many for Watkins to run into just behind him, constantly dragging Dunk and the other lad out of position and creating space in the middle. A tactical masterclass, it played perfectly to Ollies strengths and showed his growing relationship with Zaniolo.
-
Really? I love Unai but the league cup win was one of the best days of my life and MON had us so close to top 4. Let's give him time and hopefully he delivers silverware.
-
Imagine if Southgate doesn't pick him
-
Excellent today and also the captain we needed. Konsa looked certain to me to get a second yellow for his shove late on. JM was straight onto the ref after being alerted by Emi and managed to calm him. Also noticed him so vocal. On the right, him and cash really shut down a very dangerous Brighton left side.
-
We looks so balance with him on the left, bring back Moreno as well and they will do so well.
-
i like Cash but its also clearly a position we can upgrade upon. Its all part of the journey though. I wonder if we would have seen an upgrade this summer if the money wasnt needed for Mings and Emi cover?
-
disappointing result but like others have said, the manner of performance is most worrying. Its easy to blame rotation but in reality, nearly everyone that appeared last night will need to play a role this season. The less involvement our fringe players have, the bigger them impact (negatively) when they play. I think teams typically use about 20 players across a season (villa actually had 20 players making at least 5 appearances last season), for me the answer is to find away to involve these players more and not less.
-
it would be interesting to know if the "pro" shirts are actually the same as the club pro shirts and therefor carry the same issue. We need a couple of weatlhy VTers to put themselves through a full 90 minutes (actually 20 minutes should do it).

Missed opportunity tonight for John.
-
Disent. He was well off, he knew he was as well by the way he stopped running and then tried a shot. Silly.
-
That's what I keep thinking, pretty much everyone on the pitch will need to start games this season. Its not like we've thrown the kids out.
-
Generally when he plays its with a weakened side. When he played last year in the spurs win and this year in was it the Burnley win, I don't remember us looking a shambles. He's a massive drop off from our world cup winning keeper, just don't think he's recently been as bad. I hope he doesn't prove me wrong now.
