  1. No need to unless the medical team clears him 100%.
  2. I think my main problem is the disconnect in tactics and how you convey what you want your players to do to them. It has gotten better, but it's a bit like running in syrup trying to get your players to do simple things. IRL it's just 'if this happens, try to do this'. Not so in FM. You need a role and a mentality and possibly an instruction, but they all interact in weird ways that must essentially be learned first.

    Yeah, his credentials alone are enough to shut me up for a couple of years. Give this man enough time and good things will come if we are prepared to wait.

    It depends on how we act in and out of possession. I said this under Gerrard as well, but no-one puts 11 bodies on the field before kick-off and then keeps the shape trough the game. It's all about the shape we take in different phases of the gama. That is all I care about in terms of formation.
  5. Just about everything related to the hiring and firing of Gerrard and Purslow's possible actions, non-actions and motives for doing things. Spe. Cu. Lation. Pronounce the last part with an annoying french accent.
  6. Don't, because you are spot on. Problem is it's much easier for people to latch on to the speculative bollox that feeds their emotions rather than trying to stick to logic and what we actually know. You're fighting the good fight.
  7. I actually love the 3D engine. I've been playing since the first game, and I think that was the biggest improvement for me.

    That Sid Lowe dude dug himself a proper hole, and when called out he decided to keep digging. Absolutely clueless.

    So now he's too attacking? I'm not sure I trust your friends football analysis skills.

    Just imagine when he names McGinn in his first Villa 11. people will be screaming for Danks.
  11. That is actually a really good idea. I run a multi-monitor set-up and would love this.

    Victoria 3

    Yeah, loved it. Unfortunately it died relatively recently, something I sort of caught wind of during a recruitment meeting with the company sometime before they announced the 'pause in development'. I love ancient histroy and Rome specifically, so that plays a part as well. They did a MASIVE overhaul after the poor release, and it was essentially a new game with the Marius update. Also, I caved and pre-ordered Victoria 3 this morning.

    Indeed, identity is so much more than just a mentality and formation. It principles, enabling certain patterns instilling an ethics in all you du, no matter the details.

    I write all my post on VT in a thick Jamaican accent, and I am Swedish.

    Also, like or not, we are not of Arsenals stature. They demand more from their managers than we do due to their position relative to us, not just in terms of league table but stature in the footballing world. What they think of him has little bearing on what we NEED. And on paper this looks just like a manager we need.

    We need patience. The man isn't even officially on the books yet. He isn't a magician, and even though he comes here carrying the best CV of any Villa manager in my lifetime, nothing should be taken for granted. There's lots of work to do, and he looks like just the man to do it, but I fear we might be getting a bit carried away lol Sorry.

    This is the key for me. We can't predict the future, obviously, but this man has the experience and knowledge to build something great here, and while there are potential risks, you can't really eliminate them all anyway. I'm even more pleased by Emery than I was for MON, and I really liked MON. This is now our future to **** up. It's all in our hands now, and I can't wait to see what Emery can do at Villa.
  18. Why on earth would Gerrard make Carlos vice-captain if that was true?

    You cannot contain The Dyche within a simple 0-100 scale. He transcends simple grades.

    “This once was and thus must come to pass again.” Jesus Christ, you guys turn to bad fantasy literature cliches when judging our new signings. ‘Oi! We had one o dem foreign blokes here once’s. He was shit.’ We aren’t Arsenal, Emery isn’t the Dr, and we write our own **** future no matter what came before. Then the page Villa. In terms of CV, this is the best we’ve ever had.

    This combined with what Haaland is doing, wake up guys! They are trying to tell us we live in a simulation!

    I am playing devil's advocate here, but it could be a case of Purslow feeling guilty and a bit taken aback by getting it wrong and just accepting that yeah, I'll take a backseat on this one.
