I see a number of posts mention his lack of pace yet he has the joint fourth recorded sprint speed with Kyle Walker this season of 22.9mph https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/revealed-six-fastest-players-premier-league
-
Morgan Sanson from Marseille has been mentioned as a target IF we stay up... We need to solve the conundrum which is our midfield as it’s just not right but individually seem great players ... Is it down to personnel or tactics ?
-
Heard a horrible rumour that if we stay up Ross Barkley is being considered a replacement for Jack ... Hopefully BS ...

He isn’t a top level manager as it stands .. Has no idea how to set the team up and his decisions are now costing us as he is so predictable... Get the ball to jack & winger for winger after 60 mins ... etc etc As soon as we slip into the bottom 3 now I can’t see us getting out of it and that’s on Smith as I feel a better coach could set the midfield up and effect the games? Something he cannot do ...

Now is now the time to be knee jerk but I just don’t feel Dean is cut out to be a top Flight manager ... there I’ve said it !
-
Killer question would a better coach have us playing better ?

EDITED - SEEMS LIKE THE SPORTPESA THING WAS EITHER A RED HERRING OR CHANGED TACK. Not sure where else to post this ... From the dodgiest of sources as well but just sharing ... https://tbrfootball.com/aston-villa-reportedly-set-for-new-sponsors-with-everton-dropped-sportpesa-stepping-up/

It wasn’t a clear and obvious pen from the referees angle in real time .. slowed down from side angle he took the man but the ball so **** knows with VAR as it wasn’t a clear and obvious referee error and I thought that what it was actually for. But if it was against us and I saw the replay I’d be saying pen and would be livid if not given so can’t have it both ways. Whatever the reason was behind his absence coupled With this I hope it doesn’t ruin his confidence as we desperately need him back to how he was the 1st games of the season where for me he outshone Mings.
-
Kinda agree but this stat also stands out ... Basically he is the top dog in terms of last ditch blocks ...
-
Interesting stats regarding Tyrone ... Danny Welbeck has made more tackles than him ! https://www.90min.com/posts/6557037-tyrone-mings-has-made-7-tackles-this-season-that-s-fewer-than-danny-welbeck-and-more-stats?utm_source=RSS

IF we stay up we need quality over quantity. 3/4 keys players of higher quality I reckon to compete for a place in the starting IX and maybe one or two prospects. I can’t see us being able to get Phillips if leeds fall apart as per usual... He will have the bigger clubs after him. Benrahma, Muriqi and Rashica may be in the same bracket sadly. Wouldn’t be adverse to Sorloth .. a striker failing at palace shouldn’t be used as a stick to beat him with especially under Woy... Sorloth/Muriqi Wesley & Samatta would give us options, depth and quality... Add Phillips & Benrahma/Rashica to the midfield. I’d like us to go for Joe Rodon from Swansea for CB. 2 new full backs would be nice to support Guilbert & Targett but don’t know anything about Robinson from Wigan at LB and think we could of missed a truck by not getting g Tariq Lamptey from Chelsea - a young RB. Just need to stay up first !
-
I think given the length of time they had to put plan A into action upon promotion knowing it all had to be down before the first game we did exceptionally well to build a squad which can compete to stay in the league. Was it enough ... only time will tell . Hindsight’s a wonderful thing and I would of chosen different players on certain area which were seemingly available but from an armchair that’s easy to say. Have faith and let’s see where we finish before judging the success of the recruitment...
-
Tariq lamptey to Brighton for £4.5mill could be very shrewd buisness for them and one I would of liked us to have taken a punt on.

3) we won’t be held to ransom and bribe players through wages to join us. 4) Players we wanted weren't available.
-
A player Suso knows and he will be cheap and adds cover for Davis so will be 3rd choice at best. Makes sense if other targets aren’t an option until the summer.
-
Let’s all throw our arms in the air in collective outrage as Chester has gone and championship Boro have just signed Harold Moukoudi on a loan with view to buy .... Another failing of Suso and the club ... Lol Edit: also just read that the mighty Boro are also battling Man Utd and Benfica for Adolfo Gaich Young Argentine striker previously linked or mentioned ... this news will surely top some other the edge and is another failing of the club.
-
Out of respect for him as a professional after he put his body on the line for us... they just feel Revan is ready to step up and fill the void of someone with a shot knee and zero league minutes this season perhaps ?
-
I think we should fire Suso and appoint certain villatalk posters in this place as they seem too feel they know better based on some of the comments I’m reading. Apparently he has been neglectful and not been trying to secure the right player(s) at the right price of the right character and is only Interested in signing players from obscure counties to boost our Twitter following ... ( last but made up for effect ) I guess we did once manage to sign Young & Carew many January’s ago so it should be easy to repeat this every year and the four things that need to be in alignment according to Smith in signing players is just an excuse.
-
Dominic Revan is ample back up for Mings, Hause, Engels, Konsa IF and it’s a big IF we suffer no more long term injuries. Maybe it’s a risk worth taking. Also do some posters just want us to smash our wage structure and pay a reckless fee on a short term striker fix with no guarantee of success and whose signing could impact our summer recruitment? Or do we trust them to make the decision that if relative value Isn’t available or preferred targets aren’t that we wont to be held to ransom and make a signing just for the sake of it? I’m convinced if no one comes in today it won’t be for lack of trying and that we have a long term plan and are sticking to it in terms of fees wages and calibre of player.

One of my favourite Villa memories is as a 13 YO running onto the pitch against Inter after Phil King’s winning penalty... I was sat right in the half way line in lower Witton and about 3/4 Rows back .... anyways as people surged towards the pitch the stewards were actually telling people to go to avoid a crush as there was no stopping it ... I hugged Ugo ... .. anyways it was an amazing experience standing on the pitch with thousands of jubilant , emotional , delirious Villa comrades standing together in a moment of history.. The sheer emotion of standing on the same turf as your hero’s seconds before under the floodlights ... pitch soft like a carpet... It was unforgettable.... Now flip side.... What happened to jack at Sty and Maddison? One day a player will get injured which is unacceptable and though I have done what I’m about to condone... The risk is too high and this has to stop and we should be punished accordingly.

let’s not get too carried away he isn’t McGrath or Laursen. He was reasonably good for us in the championship not excellent. Grateful he made his choice for the good of the team and has to be lauded but not turned into something he wasn’t. I have no doubt we want him to stay but we have respectfully left the decision to him and will waive any fee... Happy either way. Wish we could get Nathan Collins in exchange +. £££

Chester is past it, wasn’t amazing but great servant and we should do the honourable thing and let him decide what he wants to do ... stay and fight to warm the bench or find pastures new. No room for sentiment I’m afraid. Back to transfers William Jose is being hawked all round the prem for £25mill loan to buy... As is half the Chinese league. It’s gunna be a disappointing last day me thinks in some respects.
