    Unai Emery

    KMitch replied to PeterSw's topic in Villa Talk

    lol... Why on earth would he leave? We've already built the entire club around him in the past year and a half. Would Man United do the same for him? Not a chance... In fact, they've done anything but support their managers since Fergie retired... It shows just how out of touch the media is.

    That should have been a second yellow for Dougie... He got away with one there...

    A year ago, Olsen looked like Bambi on ice with the ball at his feet, but he looks comfortable on it now.

    For real... I've never seen a more obviously onside goal scrutinized this much by VAR...

    DURAN!!!! 1-1
  6. KMitch
    Let's be honest, most Man City fans just started following football in the last 5 years or so... Everything that happened before that "doesn't count"! /s

    Considering we're playing our reserves against the Premier League/European Champions? Yes...

    This Newcastle v West Ham match has been spectacular! One of the best Premier League games this season.

    What is even going on right now?

    Has anyone on VillaTalk met Duran? Does anyone actually know anything about his attitude? Ever notice how it’s only black players who seem to have bad attitudes and are hard to manage?

    Clément Lenglet

    KMitch replied to Tom13's topic in Villa Talk

    This is why I hate VillaTalk... Go back a few pages and everyone is universally praising Lenglet as a great loan signing and a solid rotational defender. One bad pass and everyone is calling him shit in the Torres thread. He'll be fine.

    That was a typical Chelsea performance from this season... Lots of possession, some nice attacking moves, but poor finishing and a Martinez masterclass performance cost them the game. I do have to say that they defensively caused us the most frustration of any team we've played in months. I think Poch's relentless high press of our defenders mixed with tight man-marking of our midfielders didn't allow us any time on the ball in transition until their team was gassed halfway through the second half and couldn't keep up that intensity. That said, we had a lot of good chances through our set pieces and were unlucky to not score at least one. I'm hoping our home form helps push us through in the replay, but overall neither team was at their best today.

    Was a weird signing along with Bednarek near the end of that window. Neither fit our shape or team structure under Gerrard and it was like Lange thought they were bargains, so they came in. Never had a problem with Donck. Always did a job and was reliable, just doesn't pass well enough to be starting in Emery's team. I wish him the best going forward.

    Tim Iroegbunam

    KMitch replied to useless's topic in Villa Talk

    lol... He'll barely get minutes this season. Maybe 2-3 appearances if that then will be shipped off this summer. Not good enough in the Championship last season and isn't good enough for us now. The amount of praise this kid has gotten from some Villa supporters for doing fook all in his career is shocking.

    Tim Iroegbunam

    KMitch replied to useless's topic in Villa Talk

    Considering Tim isn't an DM, you're going to be disappointed.

    Great summary of what he's about and how he's done this season.

    Lenglet is going to cost too much this summer to make permanent. His wages are too high and Barca wants too much for him, which is why he's been loaned to the Prem in back to back seasons. The only reason we went for him this season was as a Mings injury replacement. Hermoso will take Chambers' spot in the squad next season. We'll have 5 CBs with the Spaniards being our ball players, Mings/Carlos being the physical/athletic defenders, and Konsa filling in as a CB every once in a while, but mainly playing RB. Hermoso is a fantastic CB and shows we're building a squad for the Champions League.

    We never win against physical teams when the ref allows them to kick the hell out of our players all game. So frustrating to watch shit refereeing week after week.

    The problem is we generate a fraction of the revenue that the "elite" clubs bring in. The only way to grow revenue is to grow our global fan base, which leads to better sponsorships/merchandising deals, and the only way to do that is to have sustained success on the pitch. The catch is that it's extremely hard to have success on the pitch while only able to invest a fraction of the funds our rivals can into our playing squad. This is why it's critical to back Emery 100% and continue to get him every single cent he can invest into increasing the quality of the first team. We're already getting new fans this season and once Emery wins his first trophy at the Villa, it'll only continue to grow, but clubs like Chelsea and Man United won't continue to burn their funds on the wrong players/staff forever. We need to take this opportunity over the next 3-5 seasons, win some silverware, and firmly reestablish ourselves among the elite in England again.

    This whole "he was one of the best in the Championship before Beale left" is revisionist nonsense. Tim only made 10 appearances under Beale (starts and sub appearances)... https://fbref.com/en/squads/a757999c/2022-2023/Queens-Park-Rangers-Stats . Also, QPR's fan forum eviscerated Tim most of December and January and couldn't wait for him to be dropped from the lineup. I know, because I stopped over there several times to see their reactions. 10 good games under one manager and 22 garbage performances under 3 different managers isn't enough to justify the hype placed on him. Hackney is a much better player and has shown significantly more in his 50 Championship appearances than Iroegbunam has shown in his 10 Michael Beale appearances.
  22. KMitch
    I keep seeing people rate Tim as being amazing but he looked very poor for QPR last season and hasn't exactly taken his chances in the Villa side this season with Emery at the helm. Hackney is actually class and playing very well in the Championship this season. He might not be ready for a side chasing the Prem title, but he'll absolutely be a very good Premier League player within a few seasons. Tim might not even make it in the Championship at this rate.

    I don't understand why we had to keep the animal cracker Lerner Lion? It's literally the thing fans hate the most on the current badge...

    Cheer up! It could be worse...
