  1. It can def be rectified, just trying to answer why the commercial benefit was obviously ballsed up.
  2. I think telling your fans the new badge isn't going to stay before the new shirt has even gone on sale is a pretty dumb move. Not to mention that a lot of fans don't like the shirt designs at all, add in sweatgate as another bullet in castore's direction (all be it not affecting replica shirts). and it's an absolute balls up all round
  3. we can't take risks at this stage, I think we have to take players off after 60 mins when in a strong position not try again to get a winning tune out of Chambers, Olsen, Tielemans, Duran, Donk etc.
  4. I can't remember a signing especially from a overseas league who has come in and had such a huge impact so quickly and I agree he has another level in him.
  5. Gaweth was prob there to see Brighton players...I did love one of the commentators stating that he was 'back at Villa Park where the fans love him there'.... But yeah hopefully this shuts up the endless moaning that Watkins isn't good enough, until he stops scoring and the same people crawl out of the woodwork gnashing their teeth
  6. he is so physical, like a machine, just needs a bit of luck and composure
  7. Tim and JR in the training photos, wonder if they will be on the bench? Couldn't see Donk
  8. The options off the bench now are pretty dire
  9. Best manager - check Good starting eleven - check Good squad - not even close - 50% of our fringe players have tanked and 50% are injured Chambers, Lenglet, Olsen, Tielemans, Dendoncker (but mainly ring rust/lack of fitness), are dreadful stand ins. Bailey, Torres & Duran need the A Team round them to help them look decent. Missing Moreno, Mings, Carlos, J Ramsey, Buendia is really hurting us. Not sure we need Phil, but letting A Ramsey go was dumb and possibly Archer also. The other issue is Emery for all his genius does not know how to get the best out of the squad presently, although it is more that they are letting him down and him showing too much faith.
  10. It's aggravating as hell, even with a class manager and European qualification we are still treated as 'the other club who unfortunately turned up on match day' in 80% of all coverage home and abroad. I don't fancy us against Brighton at all, we have to come out of the blocks firing. Buendia, Moreno and Ramsey missing does take away a lot of team intensity, need captain ass to step up.
  11. replace is one thing, in the future but the insatiable expectation that there is an attainable player just lurking in the shadows, ready, wating to come in and be better than Ollie now. Not saying there aren't players out there, it just seems to be the hardest position to recruit. Probably why a lot of teams are moving away from traditional strikers and to hybrid attacking players, like we have with Zaniolo and Diaby.
  12. Any striker that isn't streaky aside from Haaaaaaland (and even he had some patches without goals last season), Son maybe? Just not sure who we think we could sign to replace Ollie who would be better? What 'consistent' strikers there are that would sign for us. Would love a list of all that current league strikers who score weekly and their attainability
  13. Quality performance showing what we know he is capable of definitely the best midfielder we have ever had and better than Doug? ZING! (kidding)
  14. I feel it was just two many wrong decisions combined with players playing poorly Swap Lenget for Pau and Kamara for Dendoncker and maybe we'd have had a better balance. Chambers rarely ever does well at right back, in midfield he is passable.
  15. he can't play the role of defensive sweeper/play maker at all
  16. It reminds me of where we were 2nd season with Deano, either an attacking force or utterly all at sea and nothing in between. I crave the occasional draw, I don't want a season of playing like Barcelona one week and a pub team the next.
  17. wondering if the rumours about Liverpool trying to sign him were true and he's now sulking as he wanted that move. never seen a player look so slow and disinterested
  18. Except when he and Digne marked the same player for one of their goals
  19. How many bad day's at the office can one team have, we've barely started the season yet produced more abjectly awful performances than the entire of last season under Emery.
  20. No, utter madness bringing in a player for his debut and bringing in another journeyman, we aren't playing Hibernian, this is the real thing
