  1. Whenever I see someone post a tweet from this account I just assume it's an ACL nowadays.
  2. Going forward good, but defensively suspect. He particularly struggled once they changed their shape. Its a worry that both him and Moreno look better going forward than they do defending the goal. I do remember criticising Ramsey for the same thing a few years ago and he's vastly improved that aspect of his game. I'm sure Emery will be all over it but for now I'd much prefer to see him in play as a striker or in the Tielemans role to negate any defensive frailties.
  3. I do wonder how much people are willing to believe just because they don't like Chris Heck. If it is true then there will be several employment tribunals surfacing soon. I'll reserve judgement until we have more evidence than an anonymous twitter post though.
  4. The best case scenario is that we can play Torres with Lenglet. Putting aside the fact that they are both left footers, we will really lack any sort of recovery pace with those 2. The high line should be forgotten for the next few weeks.
  5. I'd snap your hand off for a draw right now.
  6. Stick a couple of players on Luiz and Kamara when Martinez has the ball and we don't have a clue what to do with it. Been like this for weeks and any decent team knows to do it now.
  7. The goal that Trossard scored today reminded me of the Brereton Diaz chance yesterday. Amazing how fans of other clubs scoff at the thought of Martinez being the best 'keeper in the world but I'm sure he would have saved that shot today.
  8. I think it's more that we miss Torres. Pretty much everything that Lenglet is good at, Torres is better.
  9. Loan with an option to buy, doesn't sound like it's an obligation.
  10. My biggest question on this is how much better than Sinisalo who is also a full international and is apparently doing pretty well at League One level? Or is it a case that we think we can sign him and then sell on Sinisalo and make a little bit more FFP room?
  11. Lovely to see Mee get caught sleeping for that goal.
  12. Thought he did fairly well. Would like him to start next to Watkins against Chelsea. Other than that my main observation is that he could start a fight with his shadow. You can imagine some of the issues we've had behind the scenes.
  13. If points were given out for kicking opponents then Everton would be dominating the league with a points tally to make an old firm side blush. No coincidence that both in this game and Brentford, the game has been chaotic. Coote is atrocious and completely bowed to the crowd pressure.
  14. Annoyingly sensible. I can't say I've followed Mowbray all that much, but don't believe he's known for playing free flowing attacking football is he?
  15. Highlights what I think we all knew, that we struggle against low blocks and defensively disciplined teams. Not sure what the ultimate solution is but plenty of teams will be setting up in a similar way in the future.
  16. Duran to get sent off at a crucial moment before whipping off his Villa shirt to reveal an AC Milan one underneath, before running off to down the tunnel and straight to Teeside Airport to seal his move away. Maybe.
  17. There was an awful lot of talk that Digne turned down the prospect of a move in the summer, that he was happy and settled in the area and that he wanted to fight for his place at Villa. Not sure why that would have changed now he's been first choice in a team which is second in the league.
  18. Amazing how he's given 2 penalties tonight but none in that Sheffield United game. Almost as if referees give the 'big' clubs all the decisions.
  19. The penalty was about as soft as the one we won the other day but I guarantee that won't be called out as a dive on MOTD.
  20. Obviously point stands regardless but they don't have a game in hand over Liverpool.
  21. Ramsey, McGinn and Luiz were all poor. When Dendoncker is your best midfielder by a distance then you've got real issues. Not sure what changes we make but Ramsay can't keep starting in this form
  22. Another Russian warship has bitten the dust think this is the 2nd video in this is favourite video I've seen of it so far.
  23. Think we missed Torres massively. Lenglet is solid enough but Torres' range of passing is so important against a team who are sitting back like that. Other than that not much to say. Ref and VAR were very poor but we need to have more guile to beat teams who are set up not to lose. Reminded me a lot of the Mostar home game in that regard.
