Martinez revealed that during the World Cup final in Qatar last year, he had to pull Romero aside and threaten him after the Spurs star went in with both feet at Kylian Mbappe.

Argentina’s number one told ESPN: “I know Cuti’s (Romero) weakness, I remember in the final against France he went with both feet against Mbappe. 

“He grabbed the ball, everything. And at half-time, I grabbed him by the shirt and told him, ‘If you get kicked out, I’ll beat the sh*t out of you after the game’.

Probably not the greatest attitude from Emi, but I don't think we need to worry about Romero seeking revenge on cash

Looks like a clash of knees to be honest, just unfortunate.

I think we need 2 more important sign: RB (urgenty) and Striker (Loan?), Less important can wait until jan window or next season: Maybe DM and GK

Let's look at rotate:

GK:
Martinez / Olsen (UGR) <- Need Replacement

DR:
Cash / Need Sign
DC:
Konsa/Mings (Chamber cover for him until he returns out of season - loan?)
Diego/Pau 
DL:
Moreno (He will back soon)/Dignes

DM:
Kamara/Dend(UGR) <- Need replacement for him (Note Iroegbunam will be back soon I would replace Dend with him) still need to sign a new player to rotate with Kamara
CM: 
Luiz /Tielemans
RM:
Mcginn / Zaniolo
LM:
Ramsey / Bailey (or Traore)
AM:
Coutinho (UGR) / Buendia (out of season - need sign back up? to replace counitho)

FW:
Watkins / Duran (need experience striker back watkins to give Duran time)
FR: 
Diaby / Traore (I would play JPB indeed)

Sell Traore, Dend, Countiho to extra fund to buy players.

Not sure we play both CAM and FR.

Unless anyone can correct me?

So that position we have  diaby, zaniolo, traore?

Would it surprise anyone to see Sebastian Revan be our RB cover, he's played either side in preseason and not looked out of place.

Thought he looked solid against Newcastle on his favoured left side. Looks very good defensively.

He is left footed, but not sure how much of an impact that would be if he's not asked to go forward.

We need pace against their back 4, maybe time to add Karen young to the 1st team and give him some minutes to get a fee of their defenders booked early on ?

Ye start Karen, she can complain to the ref for 90mins, try and get some decisions coming our way. 

Until now, I don't think I've ever loved a manger more than a player. 

It's always been about a star player that has grabbed all the attention. 

But there is no single stand out player right now. 

That's all thanks to emery, who had created a team and connected that fans. 

Hi there,

I'm 29 and have been following the villa for as long as i can remember, born into the support from my parents.

I've been reading the posts from maybe as early as 2016 but fancy contributing with some opinions of my own.

Thanks
