    Has he been here long enough to qualify to play for England? He has the goalkeeping ability of Pope without the wooden legged hoofs and the footballing ability of Pickford without letting every shot in and dropping every cross.

    Am I misremembering or is the only chance Mount created the one where Grealish drew in the defenders (and drew a foul) before playing Mount in to roll an easy ball left into loads of space for AMN?

    What a pathetic excuse for a manager he is
  4. YouUnastanFren
    What an absolute word removed, cannot wait to see the back of him

    Agree 100%. The squad is (usually) of a very high quality but I have seen not one bit of evidence that would suggest that is even remotely the case in the dugout. IMO if the 20 PL managers and Southgate were ranked in order of quality Southgate would be 22nd.

    O'Neill's last season. We did it twice that year. https://www.11v11.com/teams/aston-villa/tab/matches/season/2010/comp/1/

    He'll play 5-3-2. 3CBs (Gomez, Keane, Coady) behind 3DMs (Dier, Phillips, Rice), Rashford and Kane up front.

    I haven't really had that impression since lockdown. Whoscored has him at 12 Aerials won 4 lost so far this season, Mings is almost identical but slightly better at 13 won 4 lost.

    Eh, I can see what you mean but I definitely think Southgate has this impression that England training is higher intensity than Villa training. Here's his quote about Grealish from last time: "He’s dipped his toes, I think importantly for him he’s had the chance to work with us and see the intensity that we work at." I don't know for sure whether he's intending to imply it, but I'm definitely inferring that he thinks that is the case from this quote.

    Not just that, it would be done on points per game and then goal difference per game. We'd actually win the league. Unfortunately I don't think they've agreed a minimum number of games required and if they did I doubt it would be 3
  11. YouUnastanFren
    Completely agree. As it stands right now, Sarr is the only player in the EFL that I'm certain would improve our first XI long term. Buendia, Cantwell, King, Grant, Hughes, Benrahma, etc. are all good players who would improve our squad but the money they'd cost wouldn't be worth the amount of value they would provide us IMO.
  12. YouUnastanFren
    Southgate's comments from the last internationals and this time about Grealish being able to "see the way they work" almost seem to imply his England training is somehow at a higher level than the PL clubs these players are all coming from. He's **** delusional

    Once. First time they met Bruce won with a freshly relegated Hull since then it's 4 wins for Smith and 3 draws. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dean-smith/leistungsdatenDetail/trainer/15315/trainer_id/447

    Thinking Bielsa is a better coach than Smith is a perfectly fine and defensible opinion to hold but this guy looks like exactly the kind of football hipster that would wank over Bielsaball even if he wasn't a Leeds fan. Coaches U9s and refers to them playing keep away as rondos. The kind of man who probably thinks Busquets was the best player for Pep's Barca.
  15. YouUnastanFren
    Yeah and not just that, they were difficult chances. First goal was at full sprint, under pressure, weaker foot, edge of the area. Second goal was a tight angle with the keeper very close. Neither of these go in more than 1 time out of 5.
  16. YouUnastanFren
    No they didn't, not even close. Leeds were extremely lucky to lose by one, Steve Bruce levels of luck. I think they might have been so unlikely to win that they actually had the lowest xPTS of any side in any game this season. Liverpool were closer to winning on Sunday than Leeds were to winning that game Mane played that game. Hardly proof they're shit without him is it? They scored 2 and had 14 shots, 8 on target. That's not poor by any metric, even though they were against the best defence in the league this season.
  17. YouUnastanFren
    You think a team that wins 11 games out of 11 scoring 30 and conceding only 5 is not very good? I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. He's only missed one match this season First match they've lost without him in 3 years. Much more likely they just came up against a great side
  18. YouUnastanFren
    Long gone are the days of our pants coming down, we're like Lesie Nielsen in Naked Gun these days
  19. YouUnastanFren
    I think that's a large exaggeration. In the last 2 seasons he's missed 5 games and they won all 5 (13 goals for, 1 against). He also came off the bench in 5, which they won all of (15G, 3A). And he went off injured in the first half in one, and guess what they won that too. Mane is world class but without him Liverpool are still great, 11 wins from 11 in games he's played less than 35 minutes in (30G, 5A).
  20. YouUnastanFren
    I can't believe people are debating if this is our best PL result/performance. This was against the reigning champions, favourites for the title, who got 99 points last season, best defence in the league last season, who started this season with 3 wins out of 3. They are without doubt one of the two strongest sides the PL has ever seen. This isn't just our best result in the PL IMO, this is the best ever result anyone has ever got in the PL.
  21. YouUnastanFren
    Those saves against Watford He basically played his first game for us last season, might as well photoshop him into the 'we stayed up' photo
  22. YouUnastanFren
    And Defour could be the new... Well... Defour I suppose
  23. YouUnastanFren
    3 of King's goals were penalties though and Villa don't get penalties. The last time VAR reviewed a clear foul on a Villa player in the penalty area Man United were awarded a penalty.
  24. YouUnastanFren
    Do you not enjoy that though? It makes the games seem like they're worth more if both sides talk themselves up beforehand. I'd love have that bite to every fixture. I much prefer fans thinking their team is god's gift than the stuff like the wet flannel Arsenal fans asking Villa to "take care" of Martinez like he's a stray dog and hoping our game against them is 0-0 so both keepers get a cleansheet. Blurgh.

    I've heard it was Bielsa's idea to grow the grass longer.
