  1. This is a crazy take. He has to rotate the squad, we can’t play the same team every minute of every game. We (he) has suffered key injuries. We did add quality in the summer, perhaps more so than any other window? Are you suggesting that Archer is better than Watkins or Duran? Philogene and Ramsey wanted to leave, we had to sell or they would walk for free at the seasons end. And who are they better than? We didn’t play well, but for the third game already this season we lose a key senior player in the first 20 minutes. Statistically we were better and we gifted them the second goal through an error, so at 1-1 this same performance takes on a different look, still out of sorts but given context, not as bad. TBH on balance I am glad we are out of this cup, we have bigger priorities.
  2. I see none of the Everton players want to swap for our Castore shirts.
  3. In fairness, Everton are up for it, are quicker to everything, and seem very well set up.
  4. No one takes this cup seriously, it’s a waste. That being said, it doesn’t account for the basic individual errors everywhere.
  5. It’s the movement though, it’s been poor, no options, everyone is too static
  6. This seems an over reaction. We’ve won 6 games so far this season. Lost 3. We can’t expect to win every game or play really well all the time. We have had a disjointed start to the season: key injuries, players coming back and new players. It’s going to take 15-20 games or more until we settle I reckon.
  7. Everyone out of sorts, losing every 50/50, again midfield not quite working for either assisting defence or linking attack. Last three minutes was an improvement. It can only get better, can’t it?
  8. A super upbeat Villa vlogger. You’ve got to love him!
  9. …..and Buendia, Ramsey, Moreno, Carlos, selling Coutinho
  10. lol, are you Luke Robinson? In fairness I thought it was pretty even despite the player advantage, and don’t quite share your glowing view, but delighted all same. Think we will have a strong second half to the season after we grow as a team, develop familiarity and the new players to the division settle. 6th and still in touch at this stage after the two heavy away defeats is encouraging.
  11. I’ll take that, but we aren’t playing very well at the moment. Quite a few a players out of sorts. Relieved Watkins got his goal.
  12. She’s making these transfer figures up as she goes along
  13. Reffing is honestly becoming embarrassing in this division, we used to have some of the highest standards in the world, it is shocking these days. VAR has made it worse too.
  14. It feels to me like the midfield/forward set up isn’t working and putting pressure on the back line. We aren’t creating much or putting any sequences together, there seems no out all or options at any time?
  15. I would happily pay him that if he scored 20 PL goals a season.
  16. Twitter today suggests we are some way apart: the club has offered 4yrs at £100K pw but Ollie’s camp are holding out for £160K pw. On this basis he is being sold.
