    This will be a very interesting test for us. Although Spurs are severely weaked, they still have some great players (and a chance for some to prove themselves) and they're going to be pretty unpredictable. Yes we should be winning this if we really want to be a top 4 team, but at the same time we're not at a stage in our development to expect a win here - especially given our previous away performances against strong sides. I love Diego but worry about him too. Feels like he's got a red card or two in him and I worry that today might be the day. But hopefully he's his usual brick shithouse self without any major errors!

    Isn't that hard? Can you name anyone fitting your description who is clearly a reliable keeper and would be willing to come in as backup?
  3. Troglodyte
    Brilliant. Let's just find a backup goalie who's similar to Ederson. Easy. Could do with a backup for Watkins with similar attributes to Pelé too while we're at it.

    Their left back is absolutely shite.

    Hugely frustrating. Stupid goals to conceed. Worst game Dougie has had in a long, long time. He was awful today and a large part of the reason not much was clicking. Diaby tried hard. Torres looked good. Very surprised some are voting Digne MOTM. Wasn't terrible by any means but had loads of the ball because Forest gave him the space and never really did anything of great quality with it - a few decent crosses but I feel we didn't make the most of all that space. I wish Ramsey were fit as I think he'd have destroyed them given all that room on the left.

    Refreshingly positive post.
  7. Troglodyte
    Yes, looking better now. Hopefully if his confidence grows a little, his passing accuracy will improve.
  8. Troglodyte
    Not sure getting the keeper to start sneezing will have much impact if we can't create clear chances.
  9. Troglodyte
    Tielemans is bad.
  10. Troglodyte
    We have a lot of impressive set piece routines. McPhee doing really well.
  11. Troglodyte
    Ezri Konsa is a **** magnificent footballer.
  12. Troglodyte
    Easy to get 'poor' and 'porn' confused tbf. Unai is porn.

    Everywhere we follow...
  14. Troglodyte
    That's it! Wouldn't look out of piece grinning at an intersection, unpinned grenade in hand. Which would still result in less destruction than Villa's attacking performance today... UTV!

    That lion is a great advert for L'Oréal hair dye. Is the guy in front of him someone from the Sopranos?
  16. Troglodyte
    Watkins incredible and obvious MOTM but an absolutely monolithic performance from Konsa today. Such a fantastic defender. Torres calm as you like with him too. Everyone put in a fantastic shift - epic result after a game full of aggression, conviction and desire.
  17. Troglodyte
    You've considerably elevated his status there
  18. Troglodyte
    A wank, it seems.

    Unai Emery

    Troglodyte replied to PeterSw's topic in Villa Talk

    No - we must only think in extremes. That's the modern way. We try to win the league or we try to win the cups. There is nothing in between, no sense of balance to be achieved, no criticality to the decision-making process (such as starting an internationally experienced and predominantly first-choice team at home to a poor side in a third round League Cup game...)
  20. Troglodyte
    Yeah it's just one or the other, isn't it. Unai is an idiot and can only prepare for one game at a time and picked the wrong one. Duh, stupid Unai!
  21. Troglodyte
    Yup - this guy doesn't even know that there's clearly an issue with Moreno yet sees fit to comment on the decision to play McGinn at left-back as a contributing factor to our loss today.
  22. Troglodyte
    Was he a natural there? No. Should it have been a significant issue? No. Other players' awful performances and individual mistakes cost us, not McGinn at left-back.
  23. Troglodyte
    He's not. But that's not why we lost, is it.
  24. Troglodyte
    Yup, let's be frank: "threw the game" is absolute steaming bollocks. A truly ridiculous and idiotic suggestion.
  25. Troglodyte
    That wasn't the issue today.
