  1. Barring a meltdown for English clubs in Europe, 5th makes the Champions League. The only country that can stop this is France which makes the Lille game absolutely critical to secure that 5th place qualification.
  2. At last we've been punished for the ridiculous playing of one of the country's best centre halfs at right back ...... hopefully this may give Unai a kick up the ass. Every team starts with Konsa at cente-half without exception ...... move others around but to play Konsa out of position is plain stupid and it cost us today big time !
  3. ^^^ THIS ^^^ Lots of anti-Southgate garbage on here from those who have forgotten what previous managers were like. Ollie did NOT take his chance. He didn't work hard enough and was lazy for 90% of the game. Not his ideal game as Brazil were all over him but this is a higher standard than Villa and he needs to up his game and not just coast around waiting for others to put it on a plate for him. I agree with others, he will go to the Euros but solely because there are very few rivals out there.
  4. Grealish feeding Dybala ...... I can live with that !
  5. Another garbage tactical balls up from Unai that nearly cost us dear. Thank god he saw sense after half time and put right his wrongs. Why does he do this ?!!!!!
  6. Apparently not ..... shows Italy 1, France 2, England 3
  7. Given our faltering league form, these Euro games are now doubly important to us as qualifying for Champions League via 5th place in the Premier League will be dependant on how far each of the British clubs progress in their respective Euro competitions. We are currently 3rd behind Italy and France and need to be in the top two to get the extra CL place so success for ALL our teams in Europe is crucial for Villa ..... remember that next time a British team is in action. Going to need to cheer for some teams I've never cheered for before !!!
  8. Emery got tactically undressed in that one ..... never a need to make such changes at home. Let his players down !
  9. Lenglet for England ...... or similar !!!
  10. RIP big man ...... so many great memories ...... a true Villa Park legend and always will be !
  11. Torres makes a huge difference ...... always looking to play the ball forward. Don't want Meatball in the #6 role as he is not very good there and is a liability on the ball ...... should have played Tim there with Meatball in the #10 slot. Huge win whatever the shape and good game management at the end for once !
  12. The negative move is McGinn to defensive midfield ..... the positive move is to bring Iroegbunam in and leave McGinn in the #10 role. I really pray Emery makes the right move here as it could prove season defining. Now is the TIMe !
  13. After hearing the presser, sounds like ............ martinez cash lenglet torres digne luiz iroegbunam mcginn ramsey bailey watkins.
  14. ...... or Diaby or Tielemans !
  15. It was just an error by Cash who is our weakest player as Emery knows but we have no replacement at the moment. He is not good enough for where we now are and the same can be said of the likes of Diaby and Tielemans. I'm pretty sure they will all be replaced by better in the Summer but, until then, we unfortunately have to carry them along with us.
  16. Was only a meaningless cup game ....... we go again !
  17. He needs to beef up a bit as he is way too soft and gets bounced around every week ..... that doesn't bode well in this league.
  18. ..... surely from that form it is better for all of us if you write Diabi off too ?
  19. Genuinely don’t think he’s good enough for this level and I can’t think of a single decent game that he’s had. Despite the hype, he really is not fast, he rarely runs at players, rarely shoots and he is weak on the ball and easily bullied off it. I want him to be good but he’s unwanted baggage at the moment and we need to leave him out ….. better still, loan him out or sell him !
  20. No but it is being streamed outside of UK so normal streaming channels will have coverage.
  21. Maybe not instantly but pretty quickly the answer may well be "yes" which may be important if the other two mentioned continue to struggle for form.
  22. We haven't played particularly well since McGinn lost form. He is a key playmaker for us but I've never seen him as bad as he has been in recent weeks. Not sure what is up with him but he looks slow, ponderous, confused and, at times, disinterested !
  23. Somebody voted McGinn as man of the match ...... my brain hurts real bad ..... amazing call !!!
