    Emiliano Martínez

    Ponky replied to hippo's topic in Villa Talk

    So happy for him to do this in front of the Arsenal fans who mocked him for that freak own goal against them last season.

    Was thinking based on last night's performance that he can be long term competition for Buendia. He's got that imaginative vision and capacity to find teammates in tight spaces. Very exciting for a 19yo to be playing like that.

    No I was supremely confident from the 96th minute onward.

    Ooh no guys it's 2-0
  5. Ponky
    Why's he holding his face?
  6. Ponky
    So close

    We really are walking a tightrope playing out like this

    Oooh watch out Newcastle, Romero's getting upset, he might murder someone, he's so scary.

    I thought we tried to be a lot more proactive and aggressive in the final third tonight but the unfortunate outcome of that was that we were a bit sloppy and gave it away too much, leaning us exposed on the counter. In terms of what seems to happen at 2-0 up, while I think there is an element of nerves I think much of it is the opposition adopting a more high intensity style to get back into the match. In these situations if our midfielders are not retaining the ball, the wheels come off.

    That's a Morgan Rogers goal.

    If they bring on Maupay we bring on Duran - check mate

    Poor Damsgaard had nothing to do with it

    Has anyone done a wellness check on Rio?
  14. Ponky
    Yeah but he had an actual assist. What a time to be alive.

    One of our main problems at the moment seems to be how regularly attacks break down in our final third. Hopefully it gets sorted because with Diaby finding some form we could really cause some problems. That said we're probably a bit top heavy out of necessity and when McGinn comes back in I expect one of Diaby or Rogers will drop back to the bench. It was a pretty competent refereeing performance I thought, made even more bearable by the complete lack of VAR interference. Good win though, and I thought Emery had a really good game - each one of his subs had the desired effect.

    Jesus how long does it take to turn it off and on again

    Control this now please Villa. I need to get to sleep after this.
  18. Ponky
    Nobody's laughing at him now

    What just happened there?
  20. Ponky
    Wtf was he doing?
  21. Ponky
    We're doing that thing again...

    Moreno is a bit of a one-trick pony these days, and if he can't beat his man into the box he offers us very little. People being a little too critical of Rogers I think. His carry through the middle is causing them all sorts. Just needs to time that final ball better.

    What a hit

    Youri Tielemans

    Ponky replied to thejoker's topic in Villa Talk

    There was one passage in the second half yesterday where Tielemans was pondering on the ball too long on the edge of our box and was tamely dispossessed, then sprinted down the other end and retrieved the ball brilliantly near the edge of their box. Pretty much sums up his game - equal parts sublime and ridiculous

    Happily take those two overruled goals. Second game in a row we should have had an early penalty and VAR has inexplicably failed to intervene. At 1-0 to us it's potentially a much different outcome. I gave motm to Cash, who really drive us forward and crucially gave Bailey and Diaby scope to make space for themselves. Incredible block too Playing Konsa at RB is not working. He's out best defender - he needs to be there at RCB defending.
