    Not really just my opinion based on current form of teams mentioned.
  2. striker
    Nope. I didn’t say that at all.

    Villa haven’t done enough in the January window to secure a CL place. Squad is too weak to sustain top five while also playing in Europe. Think Man U will overtake Villa as they are getting their better players back from injury and I can’t see Villa finishing ahead of Spurs either. Could also miss out on European football altogether. Presently I have Villa finishing 7th-8th.

    Was never the same player when his hair was cut.

    Surprised none of the Premiership bottom six have come in for him especially when his fee would be fairly cheap. Wages maybe an issue but he must be aware that he won’t get anywhere near the wages he’s on at the Villa if he wants to play football!

    Think he will turn out to be a very good signing and keep Diaby on the bench which is no bad thing.

    Watching the Pool v Chelsea. From tee to green best 1st half of football I’ve seen for a while. Hope Emery is watching the game to see Pool’s forwards on the move whenever it goes forward. Streets ahead of Villa last night!

    Totally agree and posted as such last night. I found it a very weak reaction to yet another insipid performance. Luiz, Diaby, Kamara, and both FBs needed rockets up their arses rather than praise.

    I’ve been deriding the high line since pre-season Tro. It stands to reason that any decent team with a nippy forward line will break it down with the right ball over the top and runners from deep. Newcastle have taken advantage 3 times now including pre-season while most recent opposition have worked it out how to play against Villa. All too predictable and no change in tactics from the manager! I will also state again that much of Watkin’s early season threat has been nullified by Emery restricting him to a box player. Very few runs into the channels now to stretch teams so Villa are more reliant on trying to break teams down through the middle. This has also been noted by Premiership teams and those Villa have faced in the cups. With Villa’s wingers not consistently firing either the opposition are setting up with a low block then destroying Villa’s high line on the break. We've all seen this repeated in recent games. To date Emery seemingly has no plan B and struggles tactically when change is needed. Alarmingly, we’ve now been made aware that apart from Rogers there will be no further signings this window. I fear for Villa now, I really do as the present squad is not strong enough to sustain a push for CL placement and European games too. Villa will do well to secure 6th-8th!

    Really not sure about that at all if you consider all recent performances have been very flat.

    Or……bring her into the team instead of Luiz.

    Very disappointed with Emery’s post match interview. Proud of the players and 43 points again. Why not tell it like it was and bloody well get into the players for that performance? The players need shaken up and a massive boot up the arse for the drop in performance levels over the last five games instead of being complimentary. Diaby should not start again until end of season then shipped out. Disgusting lack of effort!

    Yet another poor, one dimensional performance from Villa. Not one player broke sweat except for a very good cameo from Bailey. Villa’s midfield really starting to worry me as the players in there are too similar without pace to run beyond the forward. As someone else said 50m bid for Luiz in the summer Villa should bite their hand of. McGinn is the only creative spark there but he also lacks real pace and isn’t a playmaker. Stated at start of Jan window Villa needed 3 quality players to push on for a CL placement. Nothing has come in other than a championship player. Presently Villa will struggle for 6th with Emery’s high line and the owner’s lack of investment this window.

    Not an ounce of sweat on Diaby. Not even a mark on his kit either. Been an awful signing.
  17. striker
    Changes at last!!
  18. striker
    Cannot believe Emery hasn’t changed it
  19. striker
    In general a horrid first half from Villa. Too static and too slow from the midfield to forward line. Diaby needs hooked. He’s been such a poor buy. Howe basically schooling Emery again with Villa just too predictable in every sense.
  20. striker
    That was coming. Newcastle have been the better side so far.
  21. striker
    With this signing Villa’s wide men will no longer be secure in the team. Looking forward to see where Emery plays him?
  22. striker
    Not sure what position he plays but I’ve already had one transfer this season so I’m staying put.
  23. striker
    That’s a really good signing by Palace. Good player who will only get better.
  24. striker
    Yeah forgot about him as he’s on loan. Actually posted that Villa should go in for him on loan at the time but was slated for it on here. However, he would be the only one from Man U I’d take but of course he comes with a multitude of baggage!
  25. striker
    Not one current Man U player would improve the Villa team. I’d rather have sex with Maggie Thatcher and she’s dead.
