lol watkins

our central defenders just arent comfortable on the ball, add mcginn to that and 50% of the players "in the build up" just arent quite there. Emery is gonna love Carlos i reckon.

gotta love Emery. "Ollie, get the box, Ollie, get the box" GET IN THE BOX OLLIE!!!

ye ofc, my point is more i think we just have 2-3 players who just cant play that way no matter what practice is done.

yeah not commenting on their attack, just how good they are in their own third with retention. Thats how Emery wants us to play i think (not passy passy in the final third - but defo in the first third)

not showing again. we are really poor playing out.

my lord brighton are so so good playing out from the back.

Ollie offside, cue shocked pikachu face.

i would say 2-3 of our players arent capable of being in the build up play.

my lord this camera work is shocking.

and again, our players arent showing when playing out from the back, just not enough options.

you can see the difference when the two teams play out from the back. Brightons players are all showing for the ball and giving options and passing links, when we do it, we have 2 or so players showing, but not enough are showing to make the closing down difficult. some of our players can clearly play that way, and tbh some clearly cant.

watching Brighton play out from the back shows us just how far we have got to go, if we want to play similar.

this cameraman is making me feel sick lol.

Kamara is such a good player.

Emery will need to upgrade some of our players if we are going to be playing out of the back how he likes.

dont worry friendo, King Olsen will defo be in there to offer experience and leadership!

when you go to buy a pass, one of the options is the Villa TV subscriber option, so unsure if that means that package would cover the "ticket"?

what an attitude. i wouldnt want that kind of behaviour anywhere near my club, be that at club or international level. I would love to know what the Portugal fans are saying, i can only imagine the fallout if an England player did what Ronaldo has been doing recently. He is really tarnishing his legacy, it also shows what a selfish, self-centred, egotistical, narcissist he is, horrible.

This may sound stupid, but regardless of how good he is I'm not sure he is what we really need right now. I just think there are other areas of the team i would rather spank large chunks of money on. I wouldnt say no of course........but I do think that kind of money would be better spent elsewhere if I'm honest.

im not sure i would like the amount of money we would need to spunk on a player of his level. not that i even believe we could get him, but regardless, lol

i think thats his one detracting point currently. he is clearly a very talented player, possibly/probably a world class one, but imo you cant really make that claim unless your have "done it" consistently in the PL or La Liga, or to a lesser degree Italy. tbh the only 2 leagues where if you succeed, you have a right to claim you are "elite" is the PL or La Liga. thats not detracting from the talent he clearly has, im sure he would succeed in either the PL or La Liga, but you defo cant go through your entire career in Ligue 1 and believe you have any claim to be on the Ronaldo or Messi level.

what a journey he has been on. Gone from a 28 year old Arsenal reserve keeper 3 years ago...... To being Villa's undisputed number 1, getting his first cap for Argentina, becoming Argentina's undisputed no.1, winning the Copa America and being one of the heroes of that run, doing well at the World Cup as their no.1, getting more hugs and love from Messi and his team mates than i get in a good year from my missus He must feel like he's on cloud nine with how the last 3 years have gone. Its also nice that he does genuinely seem to appreciate what Villa did for him, in giving him a platform to showcase his talents and ability.

im not saying Davis will make it at Villa, but ironically i tend to wonder if the style of player that Davis is (but upgraded), is what Emery would like in our forwards line (ie: Thuram/Muriqi types).
