Guessing one of the coaches or players leaked the selection info to the press, but the manager situation hasn't been announced internally yet and is still being handled by Sawiris, Purslow, & Lange directly.
-
I really hope it's Emery... It was reported quietly a few weeks back that Swaris was in Villarreal.
-
Please be true!!!
-
Let's be honest here, Milner pulled all the strings that West Ham game. The Newcastle game was where we lined up with Ireland in the midfield for the first time in a 442 and Andy Carroll singlehandedly destroyed us. It was the beginning of the end under Randy Lerner, we just didn't know it at the time.
-
There have been a number of players over the years who have made me eat some humble pie with regards to my opinion on them. Dougie is one who continues to prove my initial assessment of him wrong. He's one of my favorite players in the squad now and I was delighted to see him sign a new contract. Can't wait to see what a talented manager can do with him now! Excited for his future.
-
Competition for places... Kamara and Dougie have the quality to do both roles, but if we need a bit more steel against some tougher sides, Donck can slot in for one of them. Otherwise, it'll be the most in form of the 3 of them starting. This is a good thing!
-
Someone in that mold, but TBH we dodged a bullet not signing Sarr, IMO. He's way to inconsistent in the Premier League to be the answer for us.
-
When he's not alone in the box with 4-5 defenders and trying to win floated crosses, he's a threat. Great interplay with Buendia today. I know he has RBF, but he looked like he actually enjoyed his football for the first time in a while today. Will continue to bang them in for us in a 4231 for us!
-
He's always been a solid defensive midfielder for Wolves, which is what we've been crying out for in the middle of the park. Still starting for Belgium, despite falling out of favor in club football, but today he showed what he's all about for the first time in a Villa shirt. Will prove to be a great bargain signing in the long run.
-
Brilliant play from him today! We just need another rapid player of his quality on the right and we'd have one of the scariest attacks in the entire league. The interplay with Bailey, Buendia, and Young was exquisite.
-
Lol... I can't remember which footballer/pundit was saying this about AVB at Chelsea/Spurs. Said he had an individualized thick binder each player needed to study to plan for the next game and most of the team was like "huh? How complicated is he making this?"
-
Frank out! Oh, sorry... Need to wait a week or two for this still...
-
This is true... Shows how awful a fit Gerrard was for us. Also shows Lange & Smith's vision for how they'd all play together. We need to never allow a shiny new manager to completely scrap club playing philosophy again.
-
Must have an attitude problem... No wonder he can't get a start! /s
-
This is right up there with the 7-2 Liverpool game. Absolute domination all over the pitch. Mings, Ings, Bailey, & Dougie are all playing blinders with the rest of the team all putting in great performances.
-
I disagree... We've seen plenty of Villa sides over the year that completely lost faith in their manager and weren't playing for them. Before the Fulham game they were still trying for Gerrard, but the problem was his awful tactical instructions and system he was shoehorning them into.
-
Mings is having a blinder... I don't see anyone getting by him today.
-
Look how many bodies are flying into the box whenever we get into the final third! This always drove me mad watching Gerrardball where we quickly break into the channel and have to completely halt the attack because there are only 1-2 Villa players in the box (or blindly float a cross into 7 defenders hoping Ings will somehow latch onto it).
-
Pretty sure that's the plan going forward. Danks, McPhee, & Cutler are Lange's men now and will help drive continuity.
-
We're dominating! What a shocker! Actually setting the system/formation up to work to the players' strengths instead of shoehorning them all into a system which doesn't get the best out of any of them actually worked??? Also, PENO!!! LETS GO BOYS!!!
-
This. I prefer Poch out of everyone on that list, but he isn't a realistic choice. Emery is my no 1 based on everything you said.
-
Leave the cabbage, take the cannoli.
-
I would be shocked if we went with someone as inexperienced as Amorim after Gerrard's disastrous appointment. Especially with a buy out clause between 10 and 30 million...
-
I would be incredibly disappointed with Dyche. He's a better coach than most give him credit for, but going from talk of an "elite" manager to Tony Pulis 2.0 would deflate the fanbase and signal the transfer money is drying up.
