If some of our players looked up and made the correct pass we would score more goals, instead of going for the "Hollywood goal"

Its a team game....

Nearly every pro shoots there. He bottled it and Haaland wasn't expecting it nearlt got it caught under his feet. His finsihing is why he wont ever make it at city.

Agree, his stats are okay, and will look better when we get an easier run of games. He's always going to be a frustrating player who misses chances, but he does get plenty of chances.

He's always under performed his xg slightly, (not to Jesus levels) but under Gerrard we created so few chances he would snatch a lot more imo. If he knows he will keep getting chances i think he will relax and will start netting more often.

Not really. Smith’s downfall wasn’t just about the loss of Grealish, it was more a product of his tactical failings and shortcomings. He didn’t start Buendia initially or played him in a 10 role (not as a winger at Norwich), had issues with Bailey and scapegoating Mings for the defensive failings. The constant formation tinkering was just as disruptive. Let’s not re-write the script of his failings post-Grealish because he’s one of us. Smith had hit his ceiling and was rightfully sacked for those reasons. You cannot gain just 40 points from 36 games and expect to stay manager. 

To be perfectly honest its both.

So do you think watkins is the kind of striker that can take us where emery and the owners want to take us?

There's one maybe 2 players at the club who can..

After listening to the latest episode of MOMS covered in adverts for TalkSport and Saudi Arabia Public investment fund, i think im going to have to give it a miss for a while. 

Is everyone done trying to sell him yet?

Sportsmanship is a virtue. His pelvic thrusts with his award on stage post match disrespects his opponent and his hosts.

Good especially the hosts.

He's a bloody keeper ffs

My dads racist, so despite being a Villa fan he can’t stand Mings and continually singles him out for criticism.

Now I can’t say that is therefore the same for everyone else who singles him out on here but there’s a real world example of what I believe tends to be the fundamental issue that those who single him out have.

Its no coincidence the noise around Mings got louder after the BLM march and how vocal he was around the movement.

Better call Saul by an absolute mile.

Theres been some great TV this year though, Stranger Things 4, House of the dragon and recently Andor have all been excellent.

Also 4 in 3 since Gerrard left. We have a top striker at the club. Need to get the best out of him.

I like John McGinn

Quite good isn’t it.
