Made In Aston

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.

Puzzling why this not starting been our best defender all season for me.

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.

I'm a bit puzzled why Emery choses Rogers over Zaniolo, imo Zaniolo is much better and complete player. Emery sees them in training so he should know, but I think Zaniolo contributes more.

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.

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.

Leon has so much to his game. He looks so good at the moment. Great season from him.

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.

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

Apparently Witton station for Ajax fans only? How they gonna police that?

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

Yup if that happens then the likelihood is we have 3 teams left and Germany have 4. Each win for them is worth more than our wins. You’ve then got a potential 3 games per club so not a lot of time to make up any point differences. 

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.

Utterly disgraceful lack of effort from Zaniolo. No better from Moreno either, to be fair. 

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.

Job done. 0-0 away and got to rest some players. We will get the result at villa park so no worries.

I wish someone would update his wiki page, it's annoying me the picture is him with Arsenal.

Why don't you do it?

Very different player to JJ. He's better in tight spaces.

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.

He is on the bench so can't be that serious!

If 5th place qualifies for the champions league, will that team go straight into the group stage or have to qualify via a playoff?

One thing I've noticed about Ollie recently is that his finishing has gone up a level. He hits the ball so sweetly and more often than not it is on target. He is starting to become the clinical finisher we need.

Unless lenglet is prepared to accept sitting on the bench most weeks and drop his wage demands to 60k then we probably won't be interested in signing him.

Thank god it's just a win tweet which bumped the thread.

Was worried he's been caught in blackface again or joined in on the c*cksucker act 

Or running around calling everyone c*cksuckers while wearing full blackface.
