    Yes and I was one of them. However, we had already bought bailey, while we still have a choice whether we buy zaniolo or not. £30m on the basis of present performances and the hope he comes good like bailey isn't a smart business decision.

    That's not what I'm saying at all . They clearly had doubts, as it was a loan with an option rather then outright purchase. Those doubts have materialised and we won't be signing zaniolo permanently.

    Or it is because he isn't very good.

    It's tempting to judge young players like Duran and Rogers every time they play, but that would be unfair. I remember Ramsey and Grealish weren't particular eye-catching in many of their earlier games but came good. Until they have a decent number of games under their belt we should try and enjoy the process, rather then get annoyed when the players don't meet our high expectations initially.

    Emery would have got rid of him ages ago if he wasn't a good coach. Considering the amount of defensive changes we had to make this season it is not surprising. We are also missing mings, who is exceptional at defending set pieces.

    He scores a goal and now suddenly he isn't so bad?! Zaniolo isn't a bad player but doesn't change the fact that he hasn't shown enough to warrant a £30m permanent move.

    Emery brought Konsa in at RB to help counter West Ham's physicality. As the system requires at least one full back to be attacking, Moreno skills are better suited in this area, as he is more of a ball carrier. But I do appreciate Digne's performances have been higher than Moreno's this season.

    Makes sense to prioritise Rogers if we aren't going to sign Zaniolo permanently. The only way Rogers will get up to speed is with game time.

    Up from 21st last season!

    Clearly grown into his good looks

    Bringing big Jhon in to match hammers physicality. Let just hope he doesn't do anything silly in the first 5 minutes!

    It's going to take Rogers time to get up to speed but is promising that he seems to make 1 or 2 really good chances every game he plays.

    Definite upgrade on traore. He has the same maverick ability but is more consistent, is better defensively and has end product.

    Lille is one of the harder ties but at least it's a short trip.
  15. Made In Aston
    Lille or Brugge just because they would be the shortest for travelling. I don't care who we get from a footballing perspective, as we can beat any team in this competition.

    I want to ask Mr Brobbey where to get the best chicken and can of coke in Amsterdam

    Get the job done early then rest some players for the weekend.

    I bet there will be a few villa fans putting on Schteeve McLaren Dutch accents down Witton area tonight.

    Are there extra coefficient points available for winning the final? If so, it might not be an absolute disaster. Granted,it's going to be difficult for English teams to win CL, EL and ECL, but not impossible. Man City, Liverpool and Villa are all favourites in their respective competitions.

    Pretty sure Emery will have something too say about that behaviour!

    In the first half we limited spurs to 1 shot, whilst we had 7. I'd say the tactics were working pretty well then. Unfortunately we have a trend of conceding early in the second half and that changed the whole game. It was interesting that Ange said he thought we liked tired towards of the end of the first half and maybe this is why we fell apart in the second, rather than poor tactics.
  22. Made In Aston
    Job done. 0-0 away and got to rest some players. We will get the result at villa park so no worries.
  23. Made In Aston
    Why don't you do it?
  24. Made In Aston
    I'd say he is more like Jimmy Saville then!

    Big call to put Rogers and Iroebunam in for a rare start away to Ajax. Let's hope they thrive in the environment.
