Ok, got it. He is absolutely brilliant and we should sell him at the first opportunity. Balanced.
-
I fancy a default of having Moreno on for the first half and Digne on for the second.
-
He did OK. Difficult performance for him to come on as sub. I think he will be fine with Emery’s support.

Think it may be a matter of chance whether I have a stroke or Villa seal a CL slot first. These last two matches have sent my blood pressure into new uncharted territory. Sublime first half but I would like to know if Emery instructs them to play slow, passive football at the start of each second half or if the players have made this up by themselves. It just invites teams to score against us. Great performances from Watkins and McGinn, OK from everyone else, think Emery should have taken Moreno off sooner, he isn’t made for an ultra defensive game. Worst performance from a referee I have seen in a long time. Why didn’t Barkley ever play like that for us?

Very simple really. If you sit back and let a team attack you persistently for 30 mins, they are likely to score. Particularly against our own copyrighted brand of chaotic defending.

In that case, it is an achievement of sorts to have produced meeting notes that seem entirely free of either positivity or openness.

£100m should be the starting point for the bidding war, not the conclusion.

Believing passionately that every question deserves an answer, I put this through Google translate, which came up with Zoritxarrez, zer gertatzen da atzelari madarikatuekin? However, when you translate this back into English, it comes out as Unfortunately, what about the damn defenders? So I think we may not quite have got to the meat of this.
-
Not sure how well my blood pressure is doing after that but in the end a clear enough win. That fourth place is starting to look like ours to lose. Remedial classes needed in defending corners. Apart from that, a satisfactory performance. Looking forward to the Luton game.

We’re actually 5th best in the premier league on that one - 12 points gained from 12 deficits. Won 3, drew 3, lost 6. Brighton, Spurs, Man C and Liverpool have done better.

We have the fourth best defensive record in the premier league* so let’s not talk ourselves down too much. (*4th= actually - Everton have conceded the same as us but we have scored nearly twice as many goals )

Wonder why he’s being treated in Lyon? Doesn’t this make it harder for the club’s medical specialist to keep in touch with his progress?

Europa Conference League Draw - Round of 16
briny_ear replied to alreadyexists's topic in Villa Talk
Ajax are away to AZ on Sunday, so that should be a chance to assess how strong they are compared with a team we have already despatched. -
I think all VAR decisions should be explained as they are made, over the PA system, like in Rugby Union and Cricket.

Great to get back to winning ways. This continues our season record that on the occasions we have lost a premier league game we have always come straight back and won the next one. Let’s hope we don’t put that record too much to the test over the rest of the season. Good (for very different reasons in each case) to see Torres and Tielemans getting starts and Tielemans’s assist for the second was superb - Emery ball at its best. Also of course great to see Ollie back in scoring form. There was a helpful (for us) set of results for the teams scrambling up the ladder behind us. All in all lots to be happy about, might even overlook the shite refereeing.

Has it not been shown a few times that Villa haven’t played a particularly high line under Emery? jMaybe just an urban myth that commentators like to gab on about….?
