    Can't pass, too slow.
  2. Lerner's Driver
    We don't like it up us. It's our weakness.
  3. Lerner's Driver
    Too passive so far.

    Are we absolutely certain there won't be any more possible FFP points deductions thrown into the pot, just to spice things up? Couple of games to go, Spurs still in fifth, Villa looking increasingly likely to secure fourth. Then, pif, paf, poof... Would you look at that, Jeff. Seemingly, out of nowhere, the Premier League have stepped in to ensure justice is done and this season ends fairly!

    Better than sex. Easily. And I **** like Thor in primal seductor mode.

    Here we go.
  8. Lerner's Driver
    Thanks for acknowledging the potential, I appreciate it.
  9. Lerner's Driver
    No acknowledgement from you of the return match vs Bayern being in their thinking?
  10. Lerner's Driver
    12th currently. Not poor as such, but a big drop off.

    They discussed the prospect of Arteta resting 2-3 players against us on the Athletic weekend podcast because our game comes before the return leg of their Champions League game vs Bayern. I guess a big match against Spurs will also be in their thinking re: player selection. It surprised me, but there was some genuine openness among the contributors on the pod to Villa causing an upset.
  12. Lerner's Driver
    Agreed. To me it feels like we are doing the age old Villa thing of not being quite good enough. Obviously, I hope we get over the line, but we are limping, let's be honest about it, it's stopped being convincing and we are hoping what are doing is good enough now rather than feeling confident throughout.
  13. Lerner's Driver
    We are limping. The stats show that we nearly always concede making it all the harder to control and win games as we were doing earlier in the season. We are now into a clear phase of random unpredictability, so very hard to know what you will get from us. Still capable of some very good attacking play, but it's not at all consistent and the defensive mistakes always leave us vulnerable to disappointing results.
  14. Lerner's Driver
    Meh
  15. Lerner's Driver
    You can tell Emi thinks I am too exposed here. We all know we have injuries, but the defence is hugely diminished. Emery always talks about control, but I don't think we had much tonight. They were better on the ball.
  16. Lerner's Driver
    Yup. We'd be **** without him. We are very lucky to have him.
  17. Lerner's Driver
    Martinez man of the match. Shit Lille goal. Let's hope it's enough. We aren't playing with much belief. Set pieces and our goalkeeper are all we have got at the moment.
  18. Lerner's Driver
    Reality
  19. Lerner's Driver
    Don't be surprised if it goes 2-2.
  20. Lerner's Driver
    They deserve that goal. Better footballing team tonight. Too many changes from Emery.
  21. Lerner's Driver
    There's no doubt about it, they will be off. Here's another part of the Watkins quote from yesterday... "We've got a point but it should have been three. These are the games we need to be winning. That's what the top teams do. They finish it off, kill it off. They are smart. Maybe we just don't have that maturity yet or game intelligence." We have to seize this moment between now and the end of the season, or it could quite easily be mid table next year.
  22. Lerner's Driver
    I agree with a lot of what you and Emery are saying here. The problem is we probably aren't going to get another chance like this anytime soon, so we will be trying to compete next year with the same level of players because FFP says we can't add enough quality, in fact, we might have to sell.
  23. Lerner's Driver
    Could easily be disappointed with the result here. Not entirely sure we cope with pressure very well.
  24. Lerner's Driver
    He's right and he was our saviour today. If you don't like hearing it from another fan because "at least we fought back to get a point", take it from our striker. Fail to qualify this year and he will be one of several who are looking to move to a club with "big team mentality". That's why the result is not okay.
  25. Lerner's Driver
    You can moan and should. If they don't like it, **** em.
