  1. I wonder in our game plan who was actually supposed to be covering the vast acres of space we left for Aina?
  2. Man City who are currently top lost two league games in a row. Any team can lose a game from time to time. It’s how you recover and consistency over the season that secures a top 5 slot, not regarding everything game as “must win”
  3. C’mon. No game is a “must win” when we are 10 games into the season.
  4. BTW if anyone wants to enlighten us on “fingerpostfriday”, I would be fascinated to know….
  5. Interesting comparisons. Reading through this thread, it seems many posters are thinking of Unai’s residency with Villa in terms of Poch’s Southampton gig rather than his time at Spurs. It suggests many don’t believe out improvement is really happening in a sustainable way. Understandable given the trauma of the past 20 years. If Emery leaves for Man U, presumably we can just hire Poch when Chelsea sack him.
  6. RIP Charlie. My favourite Villan of all time, without filter.
  7. Love this thread. Of course, Torres was responsible for the own goal. And then people get snippy when accused of making him a scapegoat.
  8. That’s what the hot looking women say to you, I think.
  9. Did we even start the motor? Maybe just took the handbrake off and gave the car a shove…
  10. Strong line-up, strong bench. Now just need a strong, focused performance. Luton already have their backs to the wall and will be scrapping for every point. 0-0 will be a triumph for them.
  11. You almost sound a bit annoyed that we won so convincingly and didn’t take our “deserved”punishment.
  12. Above all an excellent team performance. Everyone knew their roles and seemed to know instinctively where the best-positioned player was for a pass. Over the years I have watched other teams doing this and wondered how. Now I know - bloody good coaching. Apart from a slightly slow start and a minor wobble after their goal, we controlled this game in all areas. AZ didn’t get a look in. Four fantastic goals as well. In the end I gave Bailey MOTM but it’s a close run thing with Tielemans, McGinn, Kamara and Lengelet, all of whom I thought had outstanding games. Best 90 minutes of football I’ve watched since Sunday.
  13. Have to say, when I read this comment during the match, I honestly wondered if you were watching a different game by mistake. We were not sloppy. We controlled about 90% of the game, in defence, midfield and attack. We outplayed AZ in all areas. There were no weak performances and some fantastic ones as icing on the cake.
  14. Choosing a man of the match is going to be a real problem tonight.
  15. Really, nobody has been “poor” tonight. It has been a fantastic all-team performance.
