    Douglas Luiz

    If there was a player out there we really wanted and could use Luiz as bait to land said player, I wouldn't hesitate. I really don't see what he brings to the party. Lovely cross for Watkins' goal but that aside, he almost put though his own net too. Polarises opinion I guess, but for me, I really can't see what he brings.
  2. He needs to bring his shooting boots every week Messi11. Way too inconsistent but when it comes off, he's special to watch. I am not sure whether he needs better players around him or whether this is as good as he's going to be. Hope for the former.

    Ezri Konsa

    I thought he was poor, in fact, I honestly wonder what has happened to this player over the last couple of years. He seemed destined to get in to the international set up not so long ago but his positioning has got worse and he looks less than confident at the moment.
  4. 442, with John McGinn on the right side of midfield? Don't like it and we are shoehorning people into the side until they are replaced. Played a narrow four but we don't have the physicality at the moment.
  5. Ordinary player, got into some good positions but proceeded to pass the ball backwards instead of trying to get the ball in between the defenders and the keeper. Really not impressed by what I have seen of him so far.
  6. I am looking forward to seeing how Coutinho plays under Emery, with better movement of others players around him, he should do so much better than he did under that other guy.

    Unai Emery

    Great to see him getting them super fit too. Ings picking up Archer, showing that spirit and togetherness. Good signs.
  8. McGinn wasn't in any of the training photo's recently either. Probably on the same boat somewhere.
  9. Nope, let's respect the cup and play a proper side. Get Ollie scoring again.
  10. Unusual for the Express and Star but I was keen to have a look at their headline on Newsnow, 'Pau Torres backed to be big signing at Villa' only to see the font of nothing important, Alan Hutton, saying he thinks Torres would do well at Villa. I never learn! I guess it's a very quiet sporting news day.
  11. I like it and I hope we go on to win trophies with this crest on the shirts.
  12. Sarr is a highlights player and nowhere near consistent enough for Villa. For the kind of money we were supposedly prepared to pay for him, there are far better players abroad for us to pick up.
  13. I wonder if he'd make a good Captain?
  14. Blimey, Liz truss looks younger since giving up the PM role!
  15. I would want Purslow under pressure as he needs to deliver as much as anyone else at the football club. Gerrard is likely to have been mostly down to him, having been promoted the season before and him going down the fanboy route. We have stood still for 12 months and Emery has been brought in to kickstart us, putting him in a good position because, within reason, he can ask for pretty much what he wants. Hopefully, this leads to a few players coming in over the next 2 windows to make us reliable and competitive. Wouldn't it be lovely to get to the stage where we can go to any ground knowing we are going to be no mugs?
  16. The word capable suggests our bar is lower than is needs to be. We need better than Luiz or Dendonker to move to the next level. Just like we need better than Watkins.
  17. I'd like to see another forward and a right sided winger brought in. If Kamara is back, I'd like to see us get a proper partner for him.
  18. Unless he's playing really well and we give him the ball a lot when he is, he is a waste of a shirt. I appreciate that you could ay that about anyone in the side but a number 10 is a luxury player and if it isn't working well, it's a waste of a shirt.
  19. We won't move much further forward with the likes of Watkins in the starting 11. We need better,
  20. He has redeemed himself this evening.

    Unai Emery

    Wonderful appointment and at just the right time for Aston Villa. Very pleased with this and well done to Villa for getting it done quickly.

    Douglas Luiz

    Common sense. Not something you usually associate with the FA. Pleased he's available for Sunday.
  23. Now, go out and get a proper Manager. Do not screw this up.
