  1. Looked better out wide and seemed to have his pace back in this game. Nice finish and some decent play. Fingers and toes crossed we see the return of first 10 games diaby.
  2. They can keep their best youngsters as they are not having to do it due to their huge income. We've kept Tim and if he steps up he will stay next season, if he under performs he most likely gets sold. I like him, he's got good skills can shoot and tackle well. Hopefully we stop this long ball way of playing we have began doing and he will fit in.
  3. Archer who doesn't get starts for one of the worst teams in the Premier league ? Ramsey whose out injured 90% of the time and doesn't get starts when he is fit ? Azaz who isn't getting starts for Middlesbrough? Or philongene whose playing well in the championship ? Just wondering without hindsight of the injuries we have which we have no control over when planning players and budgets for the season, who, out of the ones we sold this season to generate players like pau coming in would be making a difference ?
  4. Far more impactive than diaby was, offered more both defensively and ball retention wise and had our only shot on target.
  5. Not his finest game, looked to be acting as the 2nd striker instead of playing out wide. It didn't work, he looked lost in a game he should have been impacting positively. Baffled as to why we played the tactics we did, long ball and 5 at the back. Nullified our own attack as the players were isolated.
  6. He's been trying in most games, it hasn't stopped his form nose diving, he couldn't even control a simple pass when put through. Nothing is going right for him, he's either got some major issues going on outside of football or he's just having a huge stinker which has lasted 5 months or so now. Today he was awful again.
  7. Tactics wise was wrong today and player wise was wrong today. Wish I'd gone out for bloody mothers day now Teilemens on the left doesn't work, it just doesn't. Against poor opposition you can get away with his lack of energy, against strong sides you can't. Bailey central ? 5 at the back ? Lost the midfield battle as soon as that team sheet was published. Mcginns red card, it looked to me like he was late but caught him with his knee rather than booting him but only saw it from one angle. No complaints with the red though. Zaniolo and big Tim did ok when they came on, diaby was a total disaster. You know its a terrible day when werner scores Some self reflection required from the manager, down to all the players after that.
  8. Another appalling showing, he really has just dropped off a cliff, everything he touches turns to shite
  9. Tough one, it's touch and go and will go down right to the wire If I'm allowed to watch the game or the wife insists on us going out for a mother's day meal
  10. After emmental performance by the ref, we escaped with a draw, so I'm pleased.
  11. We won't sell Tielemans unless man utd or Liverpool offer big money for him, by all accounts he's settled in the Midlands as is his family, we dont need to sell him and hes a good player. He just doesn't have the athleticism to last more than 65 mins or so in a physical or high tempo game against quality opposition. Doesn't make him a bad player, he just needs to be used wisely so for me I wouldn't be starting him against a spurs team that start 100 miles an hour and try and play like that all game. After 50 or 60 minutes they normally tire which would be a good time to bring him on. We could use mcginn further up field for the first half and have a stronger athlete in there next to Dougie and then make the changes as and when. Tim being one of the only other players we can use in midfield especially if Ramsey is being rested or out. Tielemans for the last 30 or even 45 depending on how the games going would be ideal, I also expect he will have played at least 60 mins or so v ajax a few days before.
  12. He came on as a second half sub.
  13. While lenget has been decent enough as cover for pau, we just aren't the same. I would be looking at the potential to keep lenget for next season, dependent on how mings recovers. But certainly not on the wages barca are paying him.
  14. He does well against passive teams. Athletic physical teams he is anonymous. The way spurs play, if we have other options such as Tim next to Dougie and mcginn further forwards, I wouldn't be starting with teilemens.
  15. Yes. It's delightful Oldest went to the cup final last week, I was preying they would get hammered but just losing still made my day. I try and stay humble as with my father-in-law whose spurs and 2 of my best mates man ure fans, as we all know that being a villa fan comes with no guarantees. If we managed to get in the top 4, then I will big it up large, until then I'm just celebrating our wins and their losses internally.
