  1. Just gonna bury this in the match thread rather than have it in the player thread. MATT CASH IS SHITE
  2. Awful from Martinez and Cash acting like Harry Toffolo is Mbappe
  3. Zaniolo man, someone needs to tell him it's not street football
  4. Not arsed with Carragher's comments. Quite understandable how other fans and pundits would be ignorant to unique structure and accommodations that have been made for Emery. I mean most fans still seemingly still have no idea how much money our owners have. The internal pessimistic just hates all the attention and focus just before this crucial run. Its always feels a little too early, like its setting us up for a fall. If we are still there in December then fair enough,, unavoidable, but now we have this little gap to 6th, I feel like this stretch of games into December is massive. Particularly the two winnable ones we have next. I just want us to be under radar until then.
  5. People who don't rate Pau Torres passing have pressed X too many times on Fifa. Those passes might look like a piece of piss on the TV but from the CB position where you don't have the vantage of seeing the full pitch and you have the full 10 in front of you its insanely difficult to see and make the pass quick enough. From CB is so hard to gauge the space the midfielder/attacking has and the pass has to be so quick and accurate if its being played in the middle of the pitch. As a skill, it's a totally different level to playing passes over the top or chipped over to the full backs and obviously does so much more damage as players get the ball into feet in more central areas which turns the opposition. We are free scoring now because either Luiz or Kamara can start further up the pitch and don't have to drop back into our half to receive from the CBs start us off. That is one thing you can appreciate though from the Upper Trinity or Doug and the first thing that hits you this season watching us play, it was v Everton the first game when you could see the difference it makes to the shape off the ball and how we can have these players start 10 yards further up the field and its why we can have the likes of Zaniolo/Diaby stay so close to Watkins. I half put it down to Everton being shite that day then but its been the same ever since.
  6. Our boy didn't fold. Gotta respect that.
  7. It was hard to gauge from the time he was on the pitch, he's thin like most of them but seemed a decent height and full of running (although the way the game was at that point 2nd half with us bossing it you didn't get to see too much box to box). More a technical type, his sharpness and quick footedness on the ball and seeing the pass meant he never really had to get into any physical battles the time he was on the pitch.
  8. Just got back from the game. 2nd half they were excellent, played some brilliant football but just lacked the prescence you need in the box which is to be expected but they bossed it and were playing some really technical stuff. Lovely triangles, one twos and inventiveness to get around the Charlton midfield. First half they kept the ball well to be fair but just struggled with the off ball stuff. Aidan Borland who came on 2nd half looked really good. Looked him up and he's only 16 signed from Celtic at 15 for over a mill. He just looked class and played some lovely stuff with O'Reilly. Broggio and Munroe were also very good coming off the bench in the 2nd half. First time feeling very old today..seeing Stephan Moore's son playing for the Villa and scoring against Charlton. 21 years after seeing his dad score against Charlton on his Villa debut.
  9. Awful. Literally all they have is a set piece and counter. Wtf was Luiz doing. Ffs playing wolves is infuriating, they are shite and it's always the same story.
  10. Might be a bit humiliating but surely training we can just do sessions where we put Diego and Konsa on Ollie and Diaby and just fire 100s of passes into to them to trap
  11. Don't blame Lange, how are you supposed to have training sessions that sharpen you for the rigours and technical level of the premier league when you're up against or having to play alongside Henri Lansbury. Angela Lansbury had more mobility.
  12. If he can get the Terrace View seats filled too he will well and truly be the GOAT in my eyes.
  13. Additionally, the Club has not seen the anticipated commercial impact of the new crest design, and therefore is taking the opportunity to gather further feedback from fans in the form of a survey that will be issued today. What do they expect? Its a badge on a shirt lads.
  14. He's absolutely shite and has no redeeming features.
  15. Predictable, handicapping ourselves in the cup with Olsen and dendoncker
  16. Thank God for Unai Emery. It's only the actual football stuff that this club gets right. Which, i'll take to be fair
  17. A lot of result based analysis here. Bit like when we lose and its all overly doom and gloom. Not knocking it but they were on top at 11 v 11.
  18. Great result. We were crap though. Thank God for that red card.
  19. Lol last season v Brentford Digne got a foul given against him for getting smashed in the face as well. Poor lad.
  20. He just doesn't look like a professional footballer the way he passes the ball, the way he moves with and without it. It's looks all so deliberate.
  21. Its why there is such a influx of Americans coming in and buying teams or becoming part owners. Compared to what they squeeze out of fans in the US with tickets, merchandise etc they think up that until now premier league clubs have just playing at it. They see the global appeal of the premier league and think they can do what they do in the US and then some.
  22. 10 wins at home. You've said it all there I mean literally say it and think about it, 10 wins at home...and then measure it against our support. **** Shocking.
