    Unai Emery

    Simply adore him… we will keep fighting… hopefully we can welcome back some players and get the lift we desperately need… Unai and the players (esp with how depleted and tired the squad has been and is) have done incredibly well… we’re nearly there.. and will never give up. UTV
  2. Much prefer this, detailing requires contrast
  3. We’ve got the most badges, you’ll never sing that!!
  4. The dream, but very unlikely, scenario now Best we could hope for. What a farcical shitshow all round.
  5. We’re just waiting on confirmation or an announcement… common sense would lead us to believe that it’s going to be one of the trademarked designs. With Adidas on board and new kits designed and probably revealed in the near future… the decision has already been made and it’s unlikely to be anything new or surprising. Wait and see…
  6. We have to stop faffing about and wasting time and resources… it’s embarrassing and not a good look either. Doesn’t help our cause… we need stability not disruption. Pick one and stick with it. If we’re signing up with big companies and designers… we can’t be back n forth on this kind of crap, they won’t stand for it. Heck has also said this is going to be our long term option too. Doesn’t seem like we have much choice other than to tolerate what we end up with tbh.
  7. Not happening mate… it’s gonna either be this or the plain yellow drop shadow crap. I think it’s best to stop hoping for or expecting anything better than this version here. Unless they decide to use just the lion on the shirts. But the crest will be one of the two.
  8. Old news but… if it’s a choice between this (although I’d prefer darker detailing/contrast on the lion) and the plain yellow drop shadow shit… then this will have to do Don’t think we’re going to get anything like what we want…
  9. The names we’ve been linked with are Palacios and Varela… scouts have been noticed at Porto games… and we seem to enjoy raiding Leverkusen (might be more difficult now though)…
  10. As ever… we need a big b*stard DM who can also play and move
  11. Come on John… we need Suoer John McGinn for these last few games… Been utterly immense under Unai and a huge part of our progress and a big factor in where we are and what we are trying to achieve… Don’t turn on the players who have taken us all this way and put in so many monster performances… Time for us fans to show the kind of loyalty we demand from the players… and appreciation… anyone can show support when things are rosy, true fans are those who stick with it and be supportive in the difficult moments too… have some perspective. let’s not be fickle, arrogant and entitled which seems to be the trend these days… show some class, like our manager and players UTV
  12. Could be a turning point and necessary humbling in his career for him to kick on to a higher level… he has played pretty much non stop and deserves credit for that let alone the amazing performances and run of goals at VP in 2023. He was on course to be our player of the season (and that’s what everyone was saying, the best we have) had that form continued… but it’s Ollie’s now and, if we’re saying he should be overall player of the season (and he does, has deserved and earned it, most goal contributions and a regular match winner) then he’s definitely ours… Dougie is a proper top class player who will rise above this blip or adversity and be all the better for it… no one can be 100% all the time. He’s going to get even better… Hopefully, with a better and deeper squad next season, we can keep players fresher and more in form and avoid burnout, fatigue and injuries to the degree we have had to contend with this season… it’s a learning and development process for most of them too… will only be better for it. Back the lads… we’ve done alright
  13. Come on Dougie, give us a monster performance then (you too John!)
  14. Guess we will just have to wait and see… I don’t imagine Olsen continuing as second choice regardless… at this point, he should not be playing for us in the Champions League!!
  15. Once again… it’s fine and even admirable to support and show some belief in a player like Olsen… abuse is never on but proper or constructive criticism is… we can’t keep carrying passengers any more… it’s full steam ahead now under King Unai… if we want to improve… we have to strengthen in as many positions as possible… it’s quite simple. It’s just so obvious that Olsen is not up to standard and is a relatively poor, error prone and mostly nervous (sick of seeing this trait in Villa players, want it gone!) goalkeeper… even worse… that nervousness and anxiety spreads to other players in the team… it’s not something we should have to always contend with… simply not good enough for where we want to go and be…
  16. Conversely… if we had a decent second choice keeper, he would play more games than Olsen has… Emi could be rested in cup competitions and against weak(er) opposition… The problem we have is that the drop off is too severe… so Emi HAS to play as much as possible, even if he’s not at 100%. Can see a young keeper, possibly Gauci, getting much more game time (beginning next season) than Olsen has and who better to learn from and develop under than the world number 1?? A decent veteran keeper would still be better and bring less nerves and anxiety than he does too… but better and more beneficial to develop our future keeper who could, one day, eventually take over from Emi… or the roles become reversed… sounds like “big club planning” to me…
