  1. Souness is an oxygen thief scraping a gutter press living with controversial outbursts but I do agree that Mings does talk too much, often on matters outside of football. Wish he would concentrate on his game rather than trying to become a poor man's Rashford and risk what has happened to Rashford.
  2. In old skool terms, arguably the best CH we have. Good in the air, physically strong but today you need to be comfortable with the ball at your feet - especially here - and Hause has never been comfortable with the ball at his feet. Good honest player and hope he gets a move to a club looking for his attributes.
  3. So you think stats in a completely different league are valid when talking about the Premier ? Seriously ? Yes, I'll judge any player on what I see right here, playing for Villa, playing in this league ..... the rest is relevant to the leagues he played in and the eras in which he played but I respect your opinions if you think different !
  4. I watch the football, not the numbers ..... you should try it !!!
  5. Sorry but that is complete nonsense. Carlos has not exactly demonstrated ball playing skills beyond long hoofs and to claim Chambers is not a ball playing CH suggests you've never seen him play. I'd even say Konsa is relatively safe with the ball ..... its only Hause who isn't.
  6. Why ? We have Chambers, Konsa, Hause ....... we don't need another CH !!!
  7. I'm currently better than Coutinho and I'm 62 with a dodgy knee ..... should I expect a call ?!!!
  8. Of course he has limitations. He came here with relatively little experience as a manager but he was identified as somebody who will learn and become a decent manager ..... arguably in the same way as many of our players are expected to evolve into top talents. The Villa project is a step-by-step project, not an overnight transformation and I have confidence that SG will improve with the experience he is now gaining and I'm quite happy with that.
  9. Doubt SG would be bothered ..... he'd know Ollie would miss !!!
  10. But that's how a low block works, there are no vast swathes in the opposition half unless you turn round and head backwards !
  11. Where do you expect them to be when playing against a 10-man low block ?
  12. I think Everton at home is probably the easiest fixture in the Premier at this point in time so I expect a bounce back win. Defeat will beg serious questions about the manager, his team building and his ability to influence performances at individual and team level.
  13. Will all of our opponents play a 10 man low block, in which case we won't win too many. In the more likely case that teams will come out and play against us because they fancy they can beat us then we'll pick up wins for sure. I'm still more optimistic than pessimistic but that will change after 5 games if we are less than 50% on points gained.
  14. Way too much over-thinking in this thread ...... from my experiences in life, the reality is always boring rather than sensational !!!
  15. Get the opinions but being that brutal about our manager seems unnecessarily harsh given that you'll probably be hammering through boxes of tissues if we beat Everton !!!
  16. That away shirt is seriously embarrassing ...... not because of the colour but because it turns into a sweat pit as soon as the sun comes out. If I were a shirt sponsor, I'd be none too happy with my logo drowning in a sweaty rag. Either change the material or change the colour !!!
  17. Mc Ginn was invisible and had no impact on that one, Coutinho looked years past his best and a complete waste of a shirt. Defence did okay but had little help from midfielders who never did their jobs defensively. Ings was a fly on a windscreen, Watkins wasn't even a fly. If Gerrard never realised before, he must now know that Villa need a strong, powerful, experienced frontman because Bournemouth's D had it way too easy out there !
  18. It’s crazy ….. it’s like Gerrard knows more than we do. Absolutely unbelievable !!!
  19. Not for me. Potential yes but has shown not the slightest hint of being there yet in any of his cameo appearances for Villa and as somebody who watches our secondary sides, he rarely shows much in those games either. Good luck to him but he’s half the player Jacob Ramsey is and will be!
  20. Anything but an easy win and SG has to go ..... just saying !!!
  21. In fairness that arse is pretty much key to Villa success this season !
  22. Can anybody explain how Villa TV works with pre-season friendlies. I have Villa+ on a monthly £1.99 sub and want to replace it with something that includes the pre-season games but I'm stuffed if I can work it out. It tells me to check my account page for upgrade options but there are no upgrade options detailed ! Any help appreciated !
  23. Yet to see any evidence that he can perform at senior level and he looks a long way off the pace being set by others so really couldn't care less what he does nor where he goes ...... just hope he does whatever he wants to do quickly as the amount of talk about a player of limited importance to us is crazy !
  24. Luiz has held us back for too long and is bang average on a good day. Slow, poor in the tackle, negative beyond belief and just a legend in his own imagination ..... we need way better than that !
