    He is the first villa player to score in 4 consecutive PL matches at Villa Park since Gareth Barry in 2006.

    fair enough, but he needs games and was the third choice striker (judging from the first few games)... I imagine he was also pushing for more time
  3. Villaphan04
    nah, there's a clear shot of the ball being out of play right before it gets played over for the goal. there'd be a firestorm I'd think if it wasn't ruled out
  4. Villaphan04
    if we hadn't sold Archer, who does he replace in the XI? There's not a position available for him (also add to the fact that Durán was preferred coming off the bench over Archer)
  5. Villaphan04
    i think that's a concussion sub?
  6. Villaphan04
    that looked like a fantastic save, Richards very fortunate to not give up an OG

    commentary mentioned that Dougie has scored in the last 3 home games, and if he scores today, he will be the first to score in 4 consecutive PL home matches since Gareth Barry in 2006.

    Paul Robinson on co commentary lets go lads

    Luiz was our best player vs Liverpool imo... and i think we needed Kamara or Dendoncker vs Doucoure in the midfield today

    Liverpool is a different team away then at anfield.

    There was an article on them a month ago I think? https://josimarfootball.com/2023/07/03/the-777-football-mystery/ Several of the clubs they own have had financial issues, fan protests against them, they themselves have a checkered past… one of the directors has a criminal background (drugs offense I believe)

    a striker as we know it today is extremely rare, as managers/coaches place different value on different skills. Gone are the days of having a poacher as your starting striker in the PL & expecting him to get 15/20+ goals... teams will get torn apart as the game has become extremely tactically based. I think this really is the point I am trying to make. There are no realistic upgrades on Ollie for us in this current market. That's why we took the 20m ish gamble on Duran (and Wilson in the youth ranks for example)... that might be the case, but my point is that Ollie is one of the guys considered to be in the "upper echelon" of strikers in the PL. He starts for at least 75% of PL teams. Well, every PL team except from Man City (and even they are being linked with him) would do the exact same based on him only being 18 and what potential he has shown thus far. But if we were only looking at the short-term (this season) for example, I wouldn't be swapping Ollie for Ferguson. Especially considering we know what level Ollie brings to us (upper mid-tier of striker in the PL), while Ferguson has had only 24 PL games.

    yeah, I don't really see downside to a one year deal for him
  17. Villaphan04
    there's a reason I pay more attention to podcasts with the likes of those who you mentioned, then some of the usual crowd who analyze games on tele.

    Selling Sanchez, so they don't really have a lot of center back depth.... especially if Romero gets injured again
  19. Villaphan04
    would be an interesting pick-up on a free. Provides depth/competition without eating away at FFP and gives us an exceptional penalty taker for the ECL. Not sure that it is us though, I agree with @Villatillidie95that Luton would make a ton of sense. Experienced in both the PL & Championship
  20. Villaphan04
    Davinson Sanchez is going to Turkey, which really depletes the depth of Spurs CBs

    Outside of Man City, every team in the race for Europe can beat each other. If City don't win the title by at least 10 points (not including any ahem off the field issues) then something has gone badly.

    Agree with what @Mark Albrighton says, that it's better the points dropped are against the better sides than those who we should be finishing above. My other point is that I'd much rather have Liverpool & Newcastle coming to Villa Park in the end stretch of the season than right at the beginning. Getting the hardest fixtures out of the way earlier
  25. Villaphan04
    Not sure that the answer would have been to switch our style of play just to accommodate archer. I feel like he would've been more of the backup to Diaby in that hybrid second striker role.
