Think it's been a good performance, think mcginn has been excellent
-
How longs that going to last for?
-
This is spot on . The thing about top players is the consistency. Weve the players below that. Emi, konsa, mings, jack,ollie - are on their game 8 or 9 /10 games. The rest tonight are too inconsistent. We didnt play awfully, just lacked the quality.
-
Fill backs really hinder us. Targett is awful going forward without jack. What we needed was overload, when we did we created half chances. Crossing was atrocious.
-
Never a red.
-
You do seem to only post when we lose. Do you not blame the players even a little bit? Unless a bad performance by a player is always the managers fault?
-
Sloppy performance, front 3 ok. Midfield too spread out. Defence hoofing it. Whenever we pass we create.
-
Must be Smith's fault.
-
I agree but its easier upgrading a 5 to an 7 than a 7/8 to a 9
-
Ramsey saw off conor, he may well see off barkeley. As a team we have to have youth players pushing. If ramsey and Kessler/ Hayden get games. It shows barry, chuk, and PB that it's worth staying.
-
It's so nice not worrying whenever a ball is crossed. We've been blessed with some great keepers. Emi is up there with the best of them.
-
Best performance for ages.
-
Thought Bielsa was great. Even in defeat Leeds were like watching the Dutch in the 70s. Oh, Villa played as well. Quite like Leeds, hate the obsession of the commentators
-
We should start a pre match poll on the team selection. Weve 6 midfielders, everyone wants barkeley dropped, he is. We have to use 3 out of 5. Apparently everyone is ok with ramsey and nakamba, now smith is a muppet for preferring McGinn over luiz. Aaarrrggghhhh!!!!
-
I think this is where transfer windows become difficult. We are no longer replacing rubbish. We are trying to upgrade all over. Wingers Cdm Additional striker Additional centre half. It wont be cheap.
-
It's never been Smith's strategy to bawl out players in public. I genuinely don't understand why people are surprised that he is defending Barkley. This idea that hes stubborn etc is weird. We saw last year with our summer 2019 signings, it takes time to bed in. Does anyone genuinely believe that hes going to start ramsey, (1 start), Samson (no starts) and nakamba (1 good game), against Leeds. Tge problem is the lack of a genuine quality DM. We dont have 1. I would rest Barkeley for Sanson, but having said that I'd play 442 today!!!
-
Of all the people and things to google, why would you choose Alan Smith?
-
I think we could raise the capacity to 50 and sell it out. One of the problems is where it is. It's in one of the poorest parts of the midlands. We would have to redevelop the whole area not just VP.
-
That implies I dont know how good he is. I'm not going to give up hope because he is injured. Of course we'll miss him. I dont think crying about it is going to change anything.
-
Some of the responses here are pathetic. We're Aston villa FC, not Jack Grealish FC. Every team in the league would be weakened without Grealish. The lack of faith in Emi, Konsa, Mings, Luiz, Watkins, is bizarre. What are some of you going to do when Jack leaves, take up fishing? We may lose today, we've also lost with Jack in the team. If we lose it doesnt mean we are a 1 man team, barkeley is crap, or Smith has his favourites. It'll mean that Leicester City were better than Aston Villa.

I'm sure there was a poster who suggested his son does it? I'm sure he picked someone who didnt play one week. Theres almost this belief that it's the role of villa, west ham WTC to act as nursery clubs for the supposed big 4. Palace haven't sold zaha, west ham haven't sold rice, we haven't sold jack. The worlds changing, theres so much money clubs arent under the same pressure as we were with Milner etc. Obviously if the player wants to go...... But Emi, to mancity /pool I dont think so.
-
I do think we need to do more for our ex players. Theres a belief that footballers are rich, but that's a modern thing. There's fans who tidy up graves (fortress villa? Etc). I know there's an ex players group, but we should do more than a photo on a screen at the end of the season. We can sing HEITS which is lovely, but we could and should look after the people who made our club. The current team stand on the shoulders of giants.
-
Go on. Dazzle me with the stats. I'll say again I dont rate Barkley, I wouldnt sign him. I just love the general notion of stating things based on 10ish games. I dont even know how many games hes played, and I dont care. I love all of VT btw.
-
All managers use subs late. How many sub at half time? You have a superior knowledge of ds than me if you've followed his subs, pre villa.
-
Or brighton tired and ran out of ideas? I'm not disagreeing but there are alternative explanations.
