  1. Its important to remember Pau has held his own against Barcelona/Real Madrid for years - he didn't suddenly get bad at defending after joining the PL the defence works as a unit and requires trust and confidence and the players are building that. there will be bumps and moments of hesitation like we saw against burnley
  2. same old 4-4-2 that changes depending on attack/defense/phase of the game
  3. growing into the game. made a mistake for the goal but otherwise was quite good. couple of class moments with the ball at his feet.
  4. Was ok today. Seems more comfortable holding onto the ball and playing it around. Made a decent save somewhere in there too. Still doesn't fill me with confidence but he did enough today.
  5. found another wrinkle in the squad with cash playing rm he looked great in that position - his natural attributes suit him playing there and it adds a bit of extra defensive cover along that side
  6. I think he just ended up there as we defended deeper he was playing the same bailey/cash role
  7. He has been covering Southampton for a while. Would be nice to see some success.
  8. I doubt we would engage in a pure loan without an option to purchase Also Felixs off field junk is bleeding into perceptions of his on field performances - he was far from inept at Chelsea
  9. I like Bertie but he is a luxury player for the most part Bailey as frustrating as he is has shown he can be an important part of the structure of how Villa play including contributing important goals and assists. Something Bertie has yet to solidify. He may well do so and displace Bailey but this idea that he is better is far from the mark at this stage IMO If he was to rise to that level it would strengthen the squad immensely
  10. 2 attackers in IMO Consistent reports that we have an offer sitting with Felix however that situation is all very complicated.
  11. Monchi earning his stripes.
  12. the manager feels the same too Bailey can finish and assist and aside from his frustrating displays he has delivered on these points. Bertie while entertaining and scoring the odd wondergoal is not as clinical as Bailey.
  13. weird point to target it should never have been a yellow - happened in the first 10 mins
  14. can see him improving. will take some time
  15. You spend a lot of time critiquing twitter rumours that you believe are fake
  16. one thing i have noticed is that he is often breaking our high line early which is a bit concerning. he might not trust the system and/or his own pace
  17. this is going to be a bit of a shitfight with Monchi vs Sevilla but i believe it gets worked out shortly
  18. cash stepped into midfield as inverted fullback and digne came back into the backline when defending toward the end
  19. solid performance. needs to start doing this more often than not
  20. the train is leaving the station and its a bit too quick for a few of the youngsters we invested a lot in the academy for this very reason - selling talented players for profit and to help with FFP and player purchases time to start thinking like a big club
  21. he i certainly high up that list (along with Chiesa by all accounts)
  22. he didn't come in due to the beundia injury - was always a target. hence emery talking about more players in the latest interview
  23. agreeing to a 50% sell on clause on a depreciating asset such as Coutinho is just idiotic
