    First game this season I remember him having a shocker. He is usually an absolute rock at the back but he was completely off the pace today.
  2. Unai had a mare as did 80% of our team. no urgency in the passing when on the ball, and where the hell was the movement off the ball? There was hardly a decent pass on all game. basically like watching Southgate’s England for most of it. February not looking good if we don’t seriously improve on that performance
  3. Always thought one of the streets could become gated and then sold as Airbnb style rooms around match days. around the time the holte pub was done they could have started that.
  4. Considering the development proposals had a box park style 1,500 capacity building bolted onto the north stand, I think we do. we have enough room to expand to have a multi-storey car park and even a small hotel if we wanted to. the car park, shop and surrounding location is massive. They’d get two skyscrapers out of that footprint in London.
  5. It’s Aston, that’s where it is and where we are. The site is massive and we have loads of land. we shouldn’t be looking at something new, we need to keep VP.
  6. Almost every new stadium doesn’t keep the atmosphere. Hammers, Arsenal and spurs all struggled with it, plus villa park has more history and heritage than those three combined. and we don’t necessarily need to if the planning and project is don’t correctly. They need to get “proper people” on the job and not faff about releasing big press releases then reneging on it. That is amateur hour
  7. There’s absolutely no way moving from VP will be acceptable to fans unless they plan on making tickets £10 a game forever… they need to sort their heads out and get these plans agreed. was exciting to see this when it came out and the back tracking looks embarrassing and shows a lack of well thought out planning.
  8. Very very poor performance. We let them win, they didn’t earn it with brilliance.
  9. This is literally the reason we lost or perform badly in games. Same issue with Sheffield United
  10. Gutted to be so dominant first 45 then capitulate like the villa of old. really poor and United haven’t even been that good…
  11. This is one of the worst decisions against us ever…. I can’t think of any apart from the Mings incident v Man City which was as bad as this
  12. Delayed until when? It’s madness imo… unless you can build a stand May to September, and have a fair few away games then it’s going to impact the gates….. surely they develop the “box park” bit first off the stadium and then get revenue that way to cover the loss of tickets for a year….
  13. Watkins scores a boat load and assists as good as anyone…. Takes months and months for a call up. Cole Palmer scores four penalties…. Instant call up. Watkins would have more goals than Salah if he took our penalties…
  14. Agree, we could be third right now. Those forest games are the ones title winners get done. i always try and balance what we should do vs what we need to do. we lost to forest when expecting a win. We need to win a game we expect to lose to address it back.
  15. United fans saying Rashford ahead of him for England. Despite way more goals and assists, the “softer” metrics of progressing the ball in the final third, receiving and dribble success has Rashford ahead. I do at times struggle to think how Southgate works with his selection but with Watkins now in the middle he’s essentially the Kane replacement, which will be only possible if Kane gets injured. hoping Watkins can score a boat load before Christmas and prove he’s really a key striker for the national side
  16. Still trying to find that run and pass Konsa made. Straight up baller move. no passes on, £&@k it I’m going on a run, oh Cashy here’s an absolutely epic outside of the foot through ball for you.

    Ezri Konsa

    I was arguing with someone on FB who said he was basically rubbish apart from 3 months for Smith. But he was a season ticket holder which meant his opinion was fact so…. Trying to find this through ball today on video but can’t locate it. It was KDB peak
  18. Watkins was fab, (clinical) Konsa was excellent (what a through ball he played) Luiz was excellent everyone played well but those three for me were the stand outs. that is the standard. Was a brilliant team performance
  19. Could well do. Clarke passing is very crisp indeed and confident. Obviously he is in great form, be good to see him under some pressure, but Looking at him in this first half he is in cruise control.
  20. Clarke for Sunderland looks a good player. only seen him in this game but hes running rings around Wednesday.
  21. Good evening fellow VTers. With cost of living giving most of us an absolute savaging at the moment. I do have some skills in design. the Bro in law is a Liverpool fan so was going to produce a word cloud in a frame of key players who have played for both Villa and Liverpool. I think the centre word is probably going to be Milner, but is there a website or database (or perhaps pooling our great knowledge) where we can get a list of players who have played for both? I have tried a few of the usual websites but I cannot filter by two clubs they have played for, only one. Any links or info appreciated. I have this list, but must be missing some biggies Houghton Staunton Saunders Milner Benteke Downing Collymore Reina James Cole Warnock Ings
  22. If you swap our defensive injuries to those 9 we would have only 4. It looks find because our injuries are at the back. If we lose Watkins to injury or fatigue then we have very little for that position.
