  1. There. Shortened your post for you. Succinct is beautiful.
  2. You're almost certainly jumping the gun by at least one weekend.
  3. "Apparently" he's been cryogenicly frozen to prevent Liverpool cancelling the loan before we can buy him. They've installed three phase power in the room behind the trophy cabinet to keep his temperature constant. There'll be a board meeting later this season to decide when to thaw him.
  4. Oh you ray of sunshine.
  5. He was surprisingly good in that position today, probably because he's reasonably creative and Westwood and Sanchez aren't. Overall I think he should be our RB so that we can have him on the pitch and a slightly better player in midfield. Saying that I like Hutton fine, and he played well at Spurs today I thought. Bacuna or Hutton.... it's good to have a choice, I think they're both good enough for us at the moment. Hutton's offensive game gets too much flak here I think... anyway, I like Leo, always have. Agreed. Seeing as buying strikers is a lottery, I'd save the money to put towards an extra striker. We should buy two strikers before we buy a RB.
  6. Two strikers and hope at least one of them works.
  7. It was worse than Sherwood. Yeah, it was like someone had said to Tim Sherwood "If you had the chance to bollox it up all over again only better, what team would you pick?"
  8. As I said on another thread, maybe he wasn't trying to prove a point. He doesn't strike me as that vindictive. Maybe he figures the Ligue 1 signings will be featuring more with Garde coming in and thought he'd give the older players a final chance, foolishly thinking they might take it.
  9. Guzan Bacuna Richards Okore amavi Traore Veretout Gana Gil Ayew Gestede for me... And I've just noticed that Guzan is the only similarity to the starting team v Spurs, with Bacuna moved.
  10. Well KMac is a **** moron then.He can shove his theory and opinion up his arse, along with his p45. I like to give KMac the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he figured he'd give the non-Frenchies a last chance before the French manager moves in, naively thinking they might take that last chance.
  11. Sorry but Belgum is in touch. Nothing wrong with the defence itself.
  12. I like Sinclair - still think he has goals in him. What I don't understand though is why he never crosses the ball. And I mean NEVER. Its bizarre - he cuts back on his right foot so much, but never tries to swing the ball in. Dare I say it - can you imagine Gestede on the end of some of Albrighton's crosses (can't believe I just said that). In fact, even today when Gestede came on, I can only think of that Bacuna cross that Gestede headed wide - did anyone else cross the ball at all? Not to my recollection. I don't think Garde will have written Gestede off after today's game. If you have a one trick pony you get it to do its trick ffs.
  13. That sounds okay, I don't mind if he only gets us 12th for clean sheets if we finish 4th/3rd.
  14. Lately Grealish's best contributions have involved giving the ball to Gil anyway.
  15. DO something?? We can't have that sort of thing. Dangerous thinking. burn him for heresy now. Chappy, not Gill. Not so fast. We shouldn't rush out and burn the guy. We should stop and consider. Is burning possibly too good for him?
  16. He's a handful, and if we set up more than just the one single chance for him he will score. I think you're being too harsh. Plus he's about the only show in town at the moment, so we pretty much have to at least give him a FEW more chances before we write him off. I've seen enough tbh, I'm fine with him being an option from the bench but I want a more rounded striker to be leading the line for us, one that runs the channels, can take on a player, takes up good positions in the opposition box and is clinical. Maybe Ayew is that player and we at least need to give Kozak a go. Agreed about giving Kozak a go, but if Ayew is up front, I'd like to see him tried out alongside Gestede instead of instead of Gestede (he he) so we've got a variety of threats on goal.
  17. DO something?? We can't have that sort of thing. Dangerous thinking.
  18. With that defeat, Aston Villa have lost 70% of their football matches in 2015. Good luck, Remi.
  19. He's a handful, and if we set up more than just the one single chance for him he will score. I think you're being too harsh. Plus he's about the only show in town at the moment, so we pretty much have to at least give him a FEW more chances before we write him off.

  21. Come now. This is unnecessary and probably not true. Not that we're even going to have that tested at this rate, his form is terrible. He was atrocious at Spurs today. But he remains one of our best players, because on a good day he is very, very good.
  22. I don't know what we expected. The lineup looked as though it was chosen for mediocrity.
  23. KMac showing why he's not going to be a PL manager any time. FFS, we already KNOW last year's team will lose every game. What are we going to achieve by playing the same bunch every time?
  24. Maybe he's just too distraught at not getting his backroom staff in six days ago, and has changed his mind about the whole thing. Typical bloody Villa possibly. Fox out.
