Going back a few years now but don't we have beef with Vissel? They don't mince their words over there.

Indeed, nobody should ever be forced out of course. I only rent, so can't speak as an owner but if I could rent a bigger place for the same amount and with everything being new, I'd be all over it. I do appreciate not everybody thinks like that though.

As an outsider not really knowing the area. What's the issue with expanding Villa Park? The houses surrounding? Would it be cheaper long term to home these people, elsewhere in new, bigger modern homes and have the room to play with? It's been years since I've been to VP and less than 10 times in my life.

The performances didn't match our points return. We've been playing pretty good in the main. It's not grudges, it's disagreement.

He played one game before his injury.

It can work both ways though, he's had to play more games and minutes than expected due to Digne's injury, which means he's burning out rather than getting up to speed. To go from barely playing/training for months on end to having to play full 90's is a tough ask. The guy barely has recovery time and hasn't had a pre-season to ease back in like most. He's playing probably the most physically demanding role with no cover. There's getting up to speed and burning out.

If only Troy Deeney was in charge to rip the players a new asshole, in public, to appease the fans.

Way too aggressive with challenges on a yellow card when the squad is already bare bones with CB's. He can be really good at times but he's a bit too wild when we need control and calm.

The guy's exhausted. His ability is not in doubt for me. He's had to play more minutes than expected on his return from injury.

My Dad's a Chelsea fan and just home from visiting him. He's worried and expecting a good hiding tonight.

It's not just the vision, it's the execution, time and again. Superb.

There were plenty of good balls on with players in space around/in the box.

Their facial hair was, that's good enough for me.

A genuine delight to watch. He makes the outrageous look easy. Hopefully he's ready to play 60 mins plus now.

He's too inconsistent and not good enough for where we want to be. He's progressed well from his early days and has given us plenty of good moments. He's seriously frustrating a lot of the time but he also helps us stretch teams. We need far better but this tearing him a new asshole doesn't sit well. It's easy to forget the good stuff. We've outgrown him.

Got in some great positions again but his confidence is absolutely shot. He could have pulled the trigger a few times quickly and didn't. Bailey needs to be starting ahead of him. He can rebuild his confidence in the cups. His ability isn't in question to me.

I could understand the cheap fouls if we're defending a lead but when chasing the game just shows naivety that you shouldn't expect for someone who's played Champions League and a decent amount of international games. His movement at times was good. Cash ignored him when he was free around/in the box. He's not against slow paced chumps in the PL though and you can't half-arse. We're quite poor in general with the amount of cheap free kicks we give away. A lot of times when the opposition are going nowhere. Either he steps up and we'll take the risk or this carries on and we'll put that £25m elsewhere.

Sounds promising. If we can bring him in and shift Olsen out to help free up cash for a signing then that would be great.

If we could combine Diaby's getting into shooting positions with Zaniolo's drilled shooting we'd have an absolute monster on our hands. Hopefully they can both step up and both become monsters.

Feels like the kid who wants to run before he can walk.

He's slowly morphing into Steve Bruce. Does he keep getting beaten up in training or something?

A decent little budget 'horror' for fans of Stranger Things, in terms of 80s nostalgia, teen led cast and a great Synth soundtrack by the brilliant, Le Matos.

For some, that's all they seem to do.

He will come good, he gets himself into great positions. I think the speed of the PL has caught him off guard at times. He snatches at some chances when he seemed calm early on. He'll adjust and next season he'll be a different player. Bailey was like this but a good bit poorer. He wasn't far off an goal/assist for Dougie and an assist for Tielemans. At times he can be quiet but there's usually some sort of chance that comes about through his involvement.

We can't hold off moving anybody on that we don't need too much. Leave it more days for us to get a replacement and Napoli could have moved on to another target and we're stuck with Leandro whilst we've just got his improvement on the books. I get your logic but I don't think it works in the real life game of transfers.
