This coaching ticket are a disaster. Rabbit in headlights stuff. They haven't a scooby.

They would of pressed forward if Luiz started too. Some villa fans have the memory of a goldfish. Picked out one worldly to Grealish and we forget his pathetic work rate, can't tackle and switching off when he gets the ball out from the back. C'mon.

He's kind of made himself look like a bit of a tit though with the " Kodjia wasn't fit enough " statement. Drinkwater looks like he's running through treacle. He should of just came out and said he didn't rate kodjia instead of throwing him under the bus with that crap.

I reckon if we get hockeyed tonight Smith is in trouble. We can't really lose this, if we get slaughtered...yikes!

That's worrying.

Meh, i dunno. Pearson has this reputation as been a prick and and a bit cold etc. Sanchez Flores couldn't get a tune out of them. You dont play the way they are playing right now if you aren't enjoying your football. He's not the chest beating ape the media like to portray him as. They look a pretty happy, highly motivated and committed bunch to me.

So if he was beside Nzonzi he would be more brave on the ball , work harder and not turn his arse into tackles ?

Totally agree with this. It's reactive and hindsight when people pop up after the event ( his assist ) and say he should of started. He rightfully didn't start. He is a talent but loads to work on. People saying he isn't a DM is just a cop out, you have a duty to work whatever position you play in. His work rate and intensity is poor, right now .

Football manager 18 is freakishly accurate. Went to sign Konsa when he was at Brentford. Looked at his personal info " Dislikes Maupay "

Lots have maintained we wouldn't get Bielsa. Ask. Why not.

Going by the pictures villa put up on their Twitter feed, they go out to training with about 20 layers on and smile for a picture.

I dunno, i think dean is just a cheerleader . Fail to believe another manager couldn't get a better performance out of this group.

We kind of need him to score goals though. This whole " but he links play up well and assists others " NOOOOOOO! Enough of this scutter. Strikers - goals. That's it.

Ah yeah bring him in, modest wages so he puts it in. Big fck off relegation clause ( need to learn from the silly Gueye one we drew up ) worst case scenario we go down and he bosses the championship.

Nakamba looked liked Patrick Viera in the videos of him with Brugge. The Jupiler league is pretty rubbish. I totally get though that we need to get someone in sharpish and we can't go crazy spending either. Of course ya know, glad he's coming etc and wish him all the best.

The McGuigans must be shady as ****. End up in court with lots of fighters that leave them. What screws them up is ultimately they can take a fighter so far but haven't the money or the key component to keeping any fighter - a lucrative tv deal. Having 3 or 4 nights booked woth CH 5 every year is not really a tv deal.

How do Watford keep plucking these **** gems out of South America and Spain and they don't pay silly money either.

Chester to Boro ?? **** right off. Let them have Hause. He can't defend.

Konsa and Jota were Smith. Absolutely. Perhaps even Targett.

Not for me. He was very hit and miss at Southampton, and those were his peak years! But signing a 34 year old on a 2 year deal and matching the ludicrous wages he's on in China is the most Aston Villa thing to do anyway.

I'm not at all confident we'll stay up. The Burnley result kind of clouded judgement a little, they are woeful and on all known form should get dragged in. This guy is spearheading our recruitment drive in January. He did so during the summer and he failed spectacularly. How on earth do you even get excited about who we'll bring in. Look at some of the most famous clubs and institutions in the world like borussia dortmund who use a sporting director. There are no haphazard signings. A philosophy, a culture, right the way through. I mean a 37 year old Reina on stupid wages most likely. The most Aston Villa thing to do.

We are 18th !! We shipped 6 goals , could of been 10. Nobody is coming out of where we are / how we've done so far smelling of roses

Both the same guy buddy.

Overall is a pretty broad term. Hause is not that good. Call a spade a spade here.

Those Southampton players right now thinking we might not be "that " table quiz question in future.
