Passing has been sloppy all over the pitch. Clearly today we decided to go down the right. Even when digne is completely free we kept going down the right. We need to be switched on here and use both sides as either doug or kamara will drop back . We also seem to be trying to be too intricate at times, our best chances and goal have come from 1 direct pass. Ollie with a huge miss which should have set us on our way and a very tight offside goal ruled out. We also need to shoot more, can't score if we don't shoot. 3 or 4 chances to shoot I recall and all just played back or lost it.

Would be putting out EM MC EK PT LD Jm bk dl Nz Md ow We still have options on the bench to switch systems After the dismal failure of last seasons lucky pants on our 1st game this season I have to find a new lucky pair as haven't worn them since. I may have to root through the attic and see which old villa top to wear, probs my none muller one. Going for a 5 - 1 win

No problem charging season tickets at a premium when we're in Europe as long is its inclusive - Cup games and euro ' then just charge 2 quid extra pg to none season ticket holders. With a manager who takes all comps seriously it will go down well while we establish ourselves as contenders for each comp, then revise it again of we win something.

A loan with a fee for 2 years sounds decent. Do we even know what the loan fee is ? Maybe its far more than we think ? Saves giving any money to barca, we get money and clears wages of £13 million over 2 years. sadly big phil is at a stage where every niggle seems to keep him out for 3 or 4 weeks then he needs to build his fitness up then another niggle.

Sorry but we clearly watched a completely different match. Bailey like alot of others just stood there, doing nothing, not closing down not blocking space no effort to intercept or engage and when he did have the ball did one crossfield pass. That's it. It was terrible.
-
Emery made big mistakes that cost us any chance sadly. Team set up seemed good but positioning was terrible from the back 5, Carlos went off and a chance to win the midfield by bringing either teilmans or donk on to make us more solid. Puts the weakest player ever to done a villa shirt in Bailey. Literally useless today, in a game we need effort. So many players just stopped even walking, let alone made any effort to even pass the ball to the correct team. Dismal is flattering. Looked far better once Bailey taken off and a player who wanted to win came on. Duran hitting some wayward shots rather than check back but he's young and at least showed some fight Any away game Bailey shouldn't be anywhere near the team unless we are 2 nil up with a minute to go. He wasn't the only weak player today, its like yet wete ordered to not tackle, the most limp effortless performance I've seen since emery came in. Can only get better.
-
We are in slow motion. Get Bailey off he offers slightly less than nothing today. Either duran or zanilio infact anything but. The rest aren't much better but at least they normally can do the basics
-
2 tackles in the entire half, 2 I saw where players bothered trying to win it. Carlos Injured and we need some aggression and Bailey comes on Looks like half of them can't be bothered today. Drop mcginn into midfield 3 and give Bailey 10 minutes, if he's still terrible then duran on instead and go more direct. So much for zanilio getting a chance yo shine.
-
Bottling every challenge all over the pitch at the moment. Not sure bailey is the one to add some steel.
-
In majorca so no doubt all the bin dippers will come out the woodwork today although it's pissing it down. Wife warned at start of holiday I want 2 hours to watch this so it will have to be on my phone as I'm a terrible person watching. Hopefully a 2 nil victory for us but anything is possible at the moment.

Another big performance and another clean sheet. Exeter now top on goal difference, sinisalo is to thank for this. Blackman was decent last season and for exeter a large wage signing. This season they have stepped up a level gk wise and tight games now become winnable. Exeter always been my 2nd team and having that villa link makes it even better. Would be good if we link in with them with other youth players as its a great place to live compared to Birmingham ( lived there 1st 30 years of my life in Sutton coldfield and Harborne). Meaning they can concentrate on football with no pressure.

Pleased for archer, ideally will be 4 4 with archer getting a hatrick. Want neither to get 3 points. He needs to keep developing this season and scoring against everyone bar us. Best case is he hits 20 goals, Sheffield utd get relegated and we buy him back for the same price which was rumoured to be the deal.
-
Just got to see if big phil goes, if he does for what we paid or so, it will be a great window financially with us also getting in players the manager wants. Ok yes another forward player and back up keeper would have been perfect but why waste money on half meh signings to pad things out. What we have kept will be used, it's been a long time since we were in that situation. Ok hause being released would be the cherry on the cake, surprised an Arab club doesn't come in for him for a couple million.

Didn't see all of it, there were Russian acrobats doing a show on at the hotel so had to pretend to be watching that while watching the footy on phone. Bumped into a fellow villa chap at the end of the night in last seasons kit. Duran nice finish Bailey nice finish cash nice smash. Pleased with the performance bearing in mind ghe team put out, they all need to learn the emery way.

I better start the hunt for the game. In Spain at the mo and wife is not expecting to be going to a bar to waych footy. Will pop it on my phone at the table and casually stare incessantly at it from 9pm onwards ( spanish time). God bless iptv while it lasts

Solid addition. When our backroom staff came in I'm sure I recall talk of having to strengthen the team and build from a solid foundation. This is helping keep the solid foundation now mings is out. Barca squad players are on stupid wages so it was never going to be cheap.

Harsh but to me he seems incapable of making a simple pass to his left. Again yesterday, instead of a very simple pass to torres, he plays it to kamara who plays it back, again he has torres to his left, still waiting for the pass and again olsen kicks it forwards. Happened against hibs a couple times as well as several yesterday. It's these little things that lose us control, something the rest of the team are instructed to do and work hard on doing. I have little confidence in him and I'm guessing it's why our entire set up has been changed to accommodate him.
-
If we can get an early goal then we can set the tempo, once we've got the tempo we should really be getting 3 points. Just need to be on it from the start as they will be hyped up, fully prepared having had 2 weeks to get ready and will probably try and use simular style as Newcastle did but the lesser players. Looking forward to seeing zaniolo getting some minutes. Utv

Yep, hes still got it and was at his peak a couple years ago. people don't realise just how close we came to signing him a couple years ago. Would have helped massively at the time but a bit of a driving doors moment. Now, we've moved on as has he. We need 4 more players, we won't sign that many unless digne and big phil go, but we do need a keeper, a right back, a left midfielder and a forward.
-
All a juggling act. Sell a couple players now or never and get decent returns which will help for future signings but may weaken us now. Big phill could go and we have space for pretty good quality young signing on a 5 year deal. Slim margins but one I trust will be for the benefit of the club. May be right or wrong to offload the players we do but it's ultimately down to whose here at the end of the window to do us proud.
-
I can only guess it is either the tactics emery wished to use to wear out the opponents and have more structured build ups or he is still to get used to the players abilities to receive the ball. However even if he is slow at releasing it, if Carlos plays we then have a long range quick passer and a more methodical passer. I'm hoping once he has adjusted to the more frantic high pace, he adapts accordingly. Top defenders do that, if they aren't the fastest, their positioning or reading of the game normally gives them that half yard head start.
-
Should have had a penalty and also got a headed goal. Ok hibs were not tough opposition but we've messed up enough times against lesser opponents. Looked decent enough, good to take him off to avoid getting hacked down any further.
-
I doubt it unless he's played in the same competition, felix played for Chelsea and Madrid last season in European competition which was allowed as 2 separate competitions.

Controlled performance. This is the sort of performance we will keep getting. In previous teams when we had the ball in some areas I would expect us to try and get more goals and push forward, however I have no issues with us not doing that unless we have to. Digne is oddly, looking like the player we thought we were getting when we signed him. Typical as we are off loading him now for a cheaper replacement. Watkins looked like he wanted it today and should have had 5 Diaby looked off the pace, some nice interplay but no bursting forwards and seems to have borrowed big pills shooting boots tonight. The game was also played at 1/2 pace most likely to prevent injury and preserve the team for the weekend. Oh and I'm loving emery putting out the full 1st team for the first leg, win comfortable 1st leg and then you aren't chasing the game in the second leg. Would like to see a strong line up for the 2nd leg with zaniolo given a go from the start rather than him playing with a weakend team and if we get 2 goals infront to then put on a few of the second string players Well done lads

This is what I was saying earlier on this summer, either sell him for 20 million or start playing him. Let another team gamble on his clearly great potential if we are not using him. Buy back clause for 10 million more on each player we sell should be fine and for ffp reasons it's a no brainer as it's pure profit selling and buying back is spread over the contract length.
