    I would happily pay him that if he scored 20 PL goals a season.
  2. thunderball
    Yes

    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.

    Recruitment

    thunderball replied to TRO's topic in Villa Talk

    It’s a dedicated sporting analytics company Starlizard (related to his gambling interests) owned by Tony Bloom, their owner. Bloom made his money in the world of Sports/Gambling, Starlizard is employed by Brighton for their data on players. I guess Lange and his team fulfill the same function, however I suggest not quite on the same scale as Bloom’s company which is a sporting consultancy.

    Missed him badly, he runs our games, he is Mr Villa.

    Tielemans, Kamara and McGinn got schooled. Embarrassing really.

    Agree with most of this except I thought Bailey was poor too and Lenglet no better or worse than Konsa, and I thought Konsa set the tone with ponderous, unimaginative distribution. Ramsey looked anything but rusty and returning from injury, thought he was hungry and sharp and looked most likely to make something happen. Its a lot to ask or expect from Duran, but he is a handful so think he is playing himself into starting very quickly, he terrified them. Ultimately we were too sluggish, and complacent, they chased and harried and exposed our back line, Mings wouldn’t have made much difference tonight, the rot was wide spread.

    Complacent, flat, poor performances. Defensively shambolic. Ramsey, Zaniolo and Duran looked good
  9. thunderball
    Complacent all round, please learn the lesson.

    Ramsey coming back the only plus tonight. A very important player for us.
  11. thunderball
    Ignore!
  12. thunderball
    He’s made 5

    I felt so much more confident with Duran up top
  14. thunderball
    In fairness personal performance isn’t on Unai, these guys should be up to the basics

    Nothing yellow about that challenge, not as bad as some of theirs but they roll like they’ve been shot and get a rise out of the ref
  16. thunderball
    We have a terrible defence

    I’m not sure there is trust with such a different formation. Kamara has brought out the best in Luiz so maybe Tielemans has unsettled him? Would like to see Pau on, his passing range would help. Would like to see Luiz and Diaby too, I feel if we can add some solidity and up our tempo we can score another two.

    I thought Longlet was tidy enough, better he goes unnoticed?
  20. thunderball
    He’s more agile and quicker than Drogba
  21. thunderball
    I think Duran has them rattled, looks so dangerous
  22. thunderball
    Pulling Duran back
  23. thunderball
    lol

    I just don’t think we are playing well. Konsa is slow on distribution, Chambers is rusty and shakey, Longlet an unknown, Tielemans unsure of his role, Kamara on a bad day, Bailey anonymous, Digne having a bad day, McGinn struggling to impose I think because the movement of others is unfamiliar.
  25. thunderball
    Bailey not offering much, we are all a bit pedestrian? It feels like reluctantly we need Pau, Cash, Luiz and Diaby on at half time
