    They could easily be relegated, they're only two points ahead of Luton now, they've won just one of the last fourteen in the league, only Sheffield United have taken fewer points in that time, and even then only two points fewer having played one less game, so they've been close to the worst team in the league for a while now. If they are relegated then it will be the deductions that has sent them down, without them they would be virtually safe already

    Our Athletic reporter said back around Christmas time that there's no expectation from the club for him to play any part this season, won't be back until the summer

    It's not odd at all, it's perfectly logical, Farke had him at Norwich where he did well and was the most important part of Farke's set-up, so not hard to imagine if Leeds get promoted they would try and sign him, they might also look at our FFP situation and wonder if we would be more inclined to sell someone like Buendia rather than say Ramsey, Luiz, Kamara, and so on, we don't want to lose any of our main stars, but at the same time we do have to sell to buy, journalists aren't making that up, it's something Emery has said himself, so whether it be Buendia, or someone else, we are going to be selling some of our first team squad

    It's crossed my mind that we could switch to three at the back to compensate for the absence of Luiz, Kamara, and Dendoncker, that is all our specialist holding midfielders, if we were to do that that Kesler Hayden would be the obvious choice to play as right wingback, but don't think he's going to go from having as little game time as he's had to suddenly starting games

    If Leeds get promoted I wouldn't be surprised to see them try and sign him.

    I've lost track of which clubs are part of V Sports, but when Smith is done with FC Charlotte, maybe we will give him a job with one of those

    This was utterly miraculous from Deano, seven points from safety with four games to go, I knew four points would give us a chance if West Ham beat Watford becase Watford then had to play Manchester City and Arsenal, but even allowing for that not too unlikely outcome, we stil had to somehow get eight points from our remaining four, it had take us fourteen games to get our previous eight points
  8. useless
    That was one of the strangest 4-0 games I've seen, in general play there wasn't much difference between the two sides, they just took their chances, on another day we could have had three or four ourselves, we did well to create the chances we did have, as they defended very well, to the point where if we were going to score it was going to have to come from some brilliant play from us, which we came close to on a few occassions but their keeper made some good saves I thought the usual suspects Triston Rowe, Patterson, Jimoh-Aloba, Borland, and Young all had good games, Kellyman quieter than usual, but maybe playing at half pace knowing he's probably going to be involved with the first team on Thursday Where Chelsea won it was essentially being better than us in both boxes on the day, they paid seventeen million for Washington and Richards is a full Jamaican international and tipped to be the best player to come out of that country since Bailey, so no wonder they were strong in attack
  9. useless
    Dujuan Richards who scored both Chelsea goals is from Craig Butler's academy, only eighteen but already has ten caps for Jamaica. I think he's been the main difference between the two teams

    Manchester City were never going to get a points reduction anyway, so that being phased out, if so, has no bearing on them, their punishment if found guilty will be trophies that they've won whilst cheating, again if that's proven to be the case, taken away and demotion from the Premier League, maybe a three year ban, so they will essentially have to ask the football league if they can play in League Two and then work their way back If found guilty they will be punished in such a way that it will dwarf many times over what has happened to Everton, just their case is different and more to it, and probably a lot more complicated, so going to take longer to resolve, but it will come eventually

    Douglas Luiz

    useless replied to LondonLax's topic in Villa Talk

    The problem with Luiz being out isn't just related to how well or not he's been playing, it's that other than Iroegbunam he was our only available midfielder suited to playing in the two man midfield. Now we're going to have to either ask McGinn and Tielemans to do a job there or trust Iroegbunam, but not none of the combinations available to us will be ideal, it wasn't ideal as it was without Kamara, our only specialist DM

    If Coventry don't come up, I think Sheaf will probably get a move to a lower to midtable level Premier League Club, rather than be of interest to us, but who knows, if Wolves need a DM wouldn't be surprised to see him end up with them as seems to fit with their new stated transfer policy I think we were going to sign a DM regardless of Kamara's injury, as essentially he's the only specialist DM we have, presuming that Dendoncker is out of the equation, I think could be a young player happy to be squad option, but also good enough to start in Kamara's absence Strange what happened with that Ibrahima Bamba, seemed exactly what we needed, linked with us and Arsenal, but then signs for a club in Qatar

    After the same amount of games last season we were closer to fourth, than the likes to Manchester United, Chelsea, and Newcastle, are to fifth now, we were also in much better form than those teams are now

    Ben Sheaf of Coventry getting a lot of rave reviews as a DM, apparently his stats are totally off the scale, the verdict seems to be he will playing in the Premier League next season whether with Coventry or someone else

    Villa. Not. Yet. Done. That was July 11th 2020 we were nineteenth in the league and Watford had just beat Newcastle 2-1 meaning we were seven points from safety with just four games to go, many understandably were proclaiming us as relegated in that moment, but we turned things around, if we can survive from that position, seven points from safety with four games to go, then we can get Champions League from this position, same points as Spurs with six games to go

    This is an important game on many levels, firstly because we want to reach the semi-final, but also to help with that fifth placed coefficient thing, but after Brentford it's taken on a new importance, we need a lift after throwing away that win, and also in the context of the week as an whole, we don't want to have dropped points to Brentford, failed to win our home tie agains LIlle and have lost to Arsenal come next Sunday, so need to get the win in this game to get a big positive from this week regardless of whatever happens against Arsenal Of course it won't be easy, no games in this competition are as Emery himself has pointed out using games where we've lost or drawn whilst being favorites as evidence, and Lille will presumably be better than those teams But hopefully we can do it and set ourselves up well for the second-leg
  19. useless
    Spurs remaining games are so incredibly difficult, Newcastle are very good at home so that won't be easy for them, then Liverpool, Man City, and Arsenal, are the three best teams in the league home and away, and Chelsea will give them a good game just by virtue of the fact it being a derby, I think they will be doing incredibly well to average a point a game over the next five, it wouldn't surprise me if they end up with three or less from those games I think we will have fourth place sewn up before they even play their final two games.

    Of course we've had a dip in form, what do people expect, if we'd have carried on the way we were we would have been title challengers, Spurs have also had dips in form, hence them taking just seven points from West Ham, Fulham, Luton, and Forest, rather than the ten plus points some were predicting, and also hence them being on the exact same points as us
  21. useless
    I'm the past master at predicting where Spurs are likely to drop points, they were always likely to win today, but from West Ham and Fulham they took just one point, I remember people taking it as a given they would get maximum points from those games, they haven't exactly been convincing against Luton and Forest, whilst we're still so close to them, literally on the same points, we still have a really good chance of finishing ahead of them
  22. useless
    If we were in Spurs position and they ours can pretty much guarantee people would be saying that they're favorites for fouth because we could only take one point from Fulham and West Ham so haven't gained enough of an advantage over them going into Newcastle, Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal, and Man City
  23. useless
    Chelsea unbeaten in seven now
  24. useless
    Our position relative to Spurs is better than I thought, even now that they're beating Forest they're still only on the same points as us, and their next five games for them are Newcastle, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool, so we're still in with a really good chance of fourth regardless of what happens with them today
