Emery has done incredible work with this squad, sadly there is a limit to how much he can affect their mentality, too many of our players seem to crumble in big occasions, ecpecially at home when the fans are excited and loud - Chelsea, Brentford and Sheffield United pop to mind.
-
I find him to be incredibly similar to Alan Hutton (altough better) - you can never blame his effort or attitude but he is very one dimensional and can only run in one direction, lacks football inteligence (especially when defending, he is awful at holding the defensice line), and just limited in technique. His work rate hides his limiations
-
It is aaaaaallways Cash who fails to hold the offside line. He is always a step behind the rest of the defenders.

As frustrating as it is if we don't get 4th, I'd rather be in a position where we lose the battle for 4th, than win the relegation battle. How times have changed

Thank god

United win today and their game in hand, then they'll only be 5 points behind us with 7 games to go, with us still having to play arsenal and liverpool (and chelsea).. it's closer than people on the previous page made it out to be

I think my inner pessimist led me to write my previous reply. Did not realise we were in such good form, I think us not playing that well but still getting results, fooled me into thinking we were struggling more than we are By brutal fixture list, I was mostly thinking about the amount of games we have left and small'ish squad, especially if we go further in the conference league.
-
Would love it if they stay up, especially if it means everton get relegated. Luton have played some really impressive football throughout the season, although they seem to concede so many late goals. They do remind me a lot of Blackpool. Can't remember a team conceding so many late goals and losing so many leads before in the premier league, vut their ability to score (and determination) means they are capable of picking up some points.
-
I think most people would agree that what Luton have done the past many seasons (and this) has been incredibly impressive, that though does not change the fact that they are nowhere near premier league standard this season
-
I have become a pessimist as a result of years of football torture and disappointments, just can't find myself saying it's over till it is over. Also I truly believe in football curses and statements coming back to haunt (we will probably get an 8 points reduction because of FFP and to help Utd get champions league next season). Therefore I will not say irrelevant, untill they mathematically are irrelevant

Disagree, if they win their game in hand, they'll be "only" 8 points behind us with 8 games to go. With us being in questionable form and having a brutal fixture list and United historically having the ability to go on runs, even when they are at their worst, I think we'd be naive to call them irrelevant just yet - Although it should be unlikely that they catch us and this season would be a complete bottlejob if they do. 2-3 more wins this season and then I'll start calling Utd irrelevant

Reminds me of Darwin Nunez, a chaotic machine. He really has the potenital of going far but requires a lot of improvements before he can start challenging Watkins
-
He is on the payroll of whoever is willing to pay, his job is literally to "leak" the information given to him. Which he does In this case, Wilsons agent is looking either for Villa to offer more money or to create other interested parties, hence why the compensation fee is included. Its very simple

Gareth Southgate to Man Utd: Why there are concerns around the England boss' links to Old Trafford | Football News | Sky Sports Found this to be a hilariously biased piece of journalism. Going on and on about how Southgate has been able to change the culture, creating a relaxed environment with players smiling when they arrive at camp. There is one paragraph, at the end of the piece, about one of his minor faults and the piece is literally called "why there are concerns". Extraordinary. Would absolutely love it if he became Man utd manager.
-
Never before known of a coach that got this much attention before. Truth is, non of us have any idea what he is doing or how he is doing - only thing we know is that Emery trusts him, which is good enough for me.
-
Or by being coached daily by our world class manager
-
Van Dijk got a similar injury at a similar'ish age. He was pretty poor the entire first season back but has bounced back to his close to best now. It'll take time for Mings to fully recover.
-
You say he came back in October but seems to have hardly featured for our u21 since then. Also coming back in October does not mean fit, especially given he most likely missed pre season and has been injured for months. Our manager probably did not want to play him more against chelsea, as he saw no value in doing so, what good does it do throwing a youngster on when a game is lost and all the other players are playing poorly? Also the fact he has come on the last two games, is probably an indicator that the manager wants him to play more, but Emery probably wants to do it correctly, given his injury and lack of fitness, inexperience at our level and our poor form. Why would we loan out our only other option in midfield? The manager probably wants to integrate him in to his philiosphy, teach him the Villa way. Or maybe he simply does not htink he is good enough, but is smart enough to see we must have one back up to luiz and kamara, loaning him out would be crazy.
-
Certainly harsh to single him out today, he has been one of multiple poor players Thst said, Cahs is absolutely not good enough, he is really poor on the ball and is poor defensively, he cant hold the high line and reads the game poorly. Credit where credit is due though, he does put in a shift, id aay he is very similar to Hutton
-
I like the idea of buying plenty of low risk, cheaper players. Some may work out, some wont, basically no risk attached. I always liked the idea of our signings under Lambert, the cheaper, young, unproven players from the lower or foreign leagues, the problem back then was they came in to be first teamers. Now we can actually develop them and not rely on them before just throwing them in the deep on.
-
Feel a bit for him, would like to see him moved out to the wing, did Bailey the world of good. Both of them struggle in that forward role Ehat makes it more annoying is that I thought Tielemans looked great in that forward role, but is struggling at left mid
-
Probably because our incredibly experienced manager, director of football and scouts rate the Icelandic goalkeeper higher than Sinisalo?
-
Dybala is not a striker, he would be callenging for the place next to watkins and on the wings, rather that directly with Watkins
-
Sky reporting he's on his way back, but Emery has no interest in him, they go on to say that he could be on his way to either intet miami or LA Galaxy
