I don't disagree with the point.

That is beyond ridiculous. Buy a left back for £14m and play Taylor instead.

garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage... Why do you like this word so much?

Apologies if it's been posted already, but this quote: “I have a really, really good relationship with Dean. So obviously if one day he calls me and says ‘Neal, I need you in my team’ I would consider it. But at this moment I can’t be focused on other things than Brentford. Obviously, I really liked working for him, so if one day he wants to bring me to Villa or wherever I would listen to him because he has done a lot of good things for me.” from this Independent article: https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/football-league/neal-maupay-transfer-brentford-aston-villa-championship-premier-league-dean-smith-a8702426.html written back in December, is rather illuminating on Neal Maupay's future.

Do players ever get a lowlights video produced for them? If they did, that would surely offer just us much insight without any context for the individual clips.
-
Yes, it's an appealing thought
-
Maupay could actually be the perfect foil, no? Just saying.
-
With all this talk of new signings it's easy to forget the contribution of people like Ahmed Elmohamady. Egpyt in with a few crucial goals last year.

If you put his historical injuries (which led to not much Prem playing time), next to his suggested fee then I can see your point. But there's a risk with every transfer and overall, I think £15m for a potentially excellent player is worth the gamble. Of all the question marks attached to Tyrone, I was most worried about his casualness on the ball, which only really presented itself towards the end of the season. Don't know if it's fair, but it felt a little bit like he knew his form was rock solid, so he believed his own press a bit too much.
-
More so than Neil Taylor for instance?
-
Yes, I share some of those reservations, which are mostly to do with his consistency. As others have said, he became more consistent towards the end of the season, but at times he did also look anonymous/ineffectual. That said, he will prove a steal if he can show his good qualities, more often than he disappears against a higher calibre of defender.

You forget how the modern football fan's brain works... ignore all previous (sometimes very recent) struggles ---> presume club should be in for Neves, cos we're a big club, innit.

Too much lolly for Lolley?

When I imagine you saying that in my head, the missing 's' is really damning.

Taylor is 100% guaranteed to lose the ball, or more typically give it away in any attacking move he is part of and he is only just about okay as a Championship defender. Surely we shouldn't be relying on a player with those qualities, even as squad filler?

Please let this summer be the end of Taylor and Hutton in a Villa shirt. They have put in a shift and I thank them for that, but their limited abilities would be even more sorely exposed in the Premier League. Does anyone think there is a chance Smith will want to keep either of them because I really hope not!

He backed it in!

Just hope we don't show early signs of fannying around at the back, cos if we do that will dog us for the rest of the game. Baggies closing us down when we tried playing it out is what caused us problems in the semis and that's how Derby beat Leeds, so we can expect something similar today. If we see confident, crisp, simple passing from our centre backs to the midfield from the off, then I will be able to relax, but until then, no chance.

Your interest in the degree to which other people celebrate something is clearly an indicator of something pretty odd going on. You're not the manager, you're a fan.

How do you feel about birthdays? Hold the bubbly til your dead?

It is a concern that we struggled for clear cut chances throughout despite the possession, last night. Not sure, what Smith can tell them to do different to change that. We've obviously managed it in plenty of other games recently, but when we have, it has typically been against lesser opposition who to some extent 'let us play'. The new found spirit we now have might just be enough anyway, irrespective of performance. You can tell Smith wasn't entirely happy last night because he doesn't want us to just squeak through. Happy Days!

Ratings & Reactions: PO West Brom v Villa

The stars are aligning. -
Disappointing, given our possession, but we also haven't really looked a genuine threat yet either. I hate how predictable it is that Neil Taylor is guaranteed 100% to lose the ball, or give it away in an attacking position. We can and still should win this, but we need to show a lot more in the second half. Mings casual and weird again.
-
I can't tell if you are joking. The Mail is still a printer of vile, unfounded, hate filled lies and fully complicit in the fact we find ourselves mired in the shit swamp of divisive opinion we find ourselves currently. Indirectly, it is they and others like them, who write the stories that make it feel naughty, fun and 'okay again' to sing songs like the one we are discussing.

Yeah, explains just how uncritical the consumers of our modern media actually are. Hook, line and sinker comes to mind and Nigey boy, with his inflammatory talk and simplistic non-solutions, is the big winner.
