I can’t post pics on here as only allows tiny file size but I got 9 results correct and only lost out to Stoke losing 2-1. You get very big odds on 10 game acca, even picking favourites, and I didn’t pick all the favourites at all.

Well I put a quid on a tenfold, including Villa, and got 9 right with a missing Stoke goal meaning I missed out on £9500.

It’s not Bamford though is it? I thought it was by looking at the rolls and head clutching but it’s actually Llorente

A wise head, on old shoulders. Happy Birthday for tomorrow Tro.

Great performance today. I don’t think we’re playing with massive belief or form since our COVID break and when jack was out you could see our belief dropped further. Today we started strong and got the early goal and El Ghazi could have had more and then just did what we had to do. I love the fact that this season, for the first time in a long time, we can take an early lead, let them have the ball and I don’t feel the same anxiety that the opposition will score every time they attack. Mings, Targett, Nakamba, Elghazi and Watkins were all superb, but my man of the match has to go to Nakamba, as it has on all 3 of his previous starts. So glad he is showing his true colours now as a lot of people wanted him gone but I always believed he could come good, as he was the only player, post last years lockdown, that didn’t get a chance, whereas Trez and Luiz did (having been poor before). This is my favourite set of players we’ve had since I started supporting Villa with the Saunders, Atkinson, Daley team.

I only noticed one and that was when we were just trying to get it up the pitch. Not quite up to his 98% success standard though.

Lovely bit of Swan Lake at Elland Farm!

A beautiful beast. 4 MOTMs from 4 games for me.

Awful biased commentator

I though the same. Same shit hair and the grasping head antics!

I love Marvelous!

Respect for the word gallivant, haven’t heard that in a while.

I think in games like that, where you can see we’re losing the midfield battle, we need to move Barkley back into a 433 like we played last season.

I agree, its ridiculous to expect a team that couldn’t even train until 2 days before the first of those 8 games (and several of those players suffered with COVID, which is known to result in fatigue,) to perform to their normal level.

I think we look Completely shattered at the moment which is understandable after the Covid stuff, West Ham looked a lot better than I expected. Well done to Moyes as the two right back formation really worked. I think Barkley was really poor and gave it away , changing it from our attack to there’s, far too many times. Other than that I thought Jack did well ( although not up to the standards we expect etc 9/10) and our only other really good performer was Mings, who I gave MOTM. Shame that Emi had his first poor match for us, although he made a few saves (they were all straight at him) he could have done better with 2. Hopefully we have enough in the tank to beat Arsenal (with there shite keeper) at the weekend and then have our first break of a few days to re-energise.

I completely agree With all of that but I am hoping it’s a case of fatigue after the Covid situation. You could see from the second half before the Southampton match we looked out on our feet. Luckily after Arsenal we have a one week break.

Great performances from Traore, Konsa, Watkins,Cash, Targett and my MOTM Nakamba. Really pleased as I’ve always thought he could have a similar progression to Trez and Luiz, who both blossomed after Lockdown, but he hasn’t had a chance to prove it until now. He made 67 passes in this match with a 98.5% success rate (and they weren’t all easy passes) which is amazing.

That was the thing, every time after he shot I thought maybe there would have been a better option, but each time when I saw the replay I realised it was his best option as no one else was in space.

Think we’re going to need at least 3 tonight as Hause is going to give them a few chances.

I’d keep Ramsey in for Barkley for this one and make sure he’s 100% for Sunday. I’d put Hourihane in for Luiz as I think his creativity is more important than Nakambas tenacity on this occasion as we should have more than enough for Burnley. Other than that I would prefer Guilbert at RB but believe Smith will go with Elmo and the only other change would be El Ghazi for Traore although only 50/50 on that one.

I thought he had one of his best matches for us against Brighton (minus the finishing) but seems to be, very much, a confidence player, which he’d gained from good matches for Egypt but lost again after turd finishing last week.

They should definitely have had a few more yellows. No attempt for the ball should always be a booking and I reckon they had at least 8.

Absolutely gutted about this one as we were the better team by so far. Grealish, Luiz and Cash were superb. Unfortunately Watkins had his 50p head on and I don’t believe anyone should ever miss the target from a pen. Most annoying loss of the season so far but nice to see how much better than West Ham we are (and they were on great form).
