    Lol as a fellow Aussie I'm very familiar with the sporting legend and all round good guy that is Steve Bradbury

    Remind me what medal Bradbury ended up with again? Doesnt matter how you win, as long as you do

    This is the bit that is really annoying me since Jan. Everyone knew where the problem positions were in Jan and not only did the club not strengthen them, they weakened the midfield by letting Dendoncker go on loan. We had to cover at Rb by moving our best performing cb over and now only have 2 fit cms... While he isn't a world beater Dendonker would have been invaluable the last few games The season as a whole will still be a success for ( I.e. improvements on last year, higher euro comp) but could have been more

    Wherever we finish this season we are going to look back on games like this one, Sheffield u, man u twice, brentford and wonder how much further we could have gone. Everytime the opportunity was there to make a real statement and kill off a team or the season, we have let it slip away

    Olsen is the only one who looks like he gives a shit out there today

    Big picture, a point is good and keeps the pressure on spurs. Small picture, that was utter garbage, I don't understand how the staff change, the players change, but the weak mentality is never truly eliminated at this club, baffling

    Another great performance from a team that must be running on fumes at this point. Just enjoying seeing the red number steadily get smaller https://www.transfermarkt.com/premier-league/potentielleendplatzierung/wettbewerb/GB1

    I guess so, I can't see Kelly man and co getting a run out unless the game has been pit to bed already, maybe bringing on one of carlos/lenglet for a back 5 so cash and digne can push on?

    Going for it or there is no one else left? Our bench is 3 centre backs and 3 youth players. Hopefully they have enough left in the tank for this one

    Can't get it done when it matters...again

    Is Emery ok? he's only named one gk on the bench
  12. Icarium
    Typical **** villa, yet another statement game, yet another piss poor performance.
  13. Icarium
    Fair enough too, but would you rather have donk or chambers on the bench to cover the next cb injury?
  14. Icarium
    Good thing we have another international player who could fill in at cb for a few games on the books, oh....

    Agree to disagree I guess, honestly this team has shown they are capable of challenging for the title ( see prior to said Sheffield game). To be capable of that and produce what we have seen over the last few months is disappointing. I can acknowledge 6th is an improvement on last year and that's a good thing, but in the context of the season and what could have been its a failure. Granted injuries have not helped at all, but seasons where 3 of the '7 teams that are better that us' have stuttered are not going to be all that common, and we really need to exploit the opportunity to its fullest
  16. Icarium
    True, but at the start of the season, we weren't in a position to go top by beating the bottom team either. Expectations change over a season, while 6th would have been acceptable then, its a massive failure now considering everything that has happened since.

    I'm guessing the linked calculator measures the distance across the surface of the planet rather than cutting through the middle

    Thats an incredibly generous view of the a league. The a league is a garbage league even by regional standards. A league is weaker than the j league, k league, Saudi league (before the big money) and even arguably the Chinese league. There is no way Gauci is ready to be a PL starter, he hasn't even been able to push Mat Ryan (from AZ Alkmaar) out of the number 1 spot in the national team. (I say this even with my Adelaide fan tinted glasses on) I'm thrilled he's joining Villa but he's not replacing emi any time soon
  21. Icarium
    And that's fine, but grow a spine and tell the fans that, instead of some bs about growing to quickly

    This is why I love him as a player, something will happen when he is on the pitch. It might be a goal...he might just deck a defender...but something always happens

    I don't think we have ever deserved 3 points less than we did today. This team continues to do my head in, apart from manc and arsenal we have been playing poorly for weeks, yet somehow still keep putting points on the board. The January window can't come soon enough.

    Well that was something VAR and refs were clearly doing everything to make sure we couldn't win, any or all of the (i think) 4 var reviews for penalties i have seen given in other matches. The disallowed goal is just nonsense, how long needs to pass before its another phase of play? Even so, we didn't play well at all today against a team that came out to just not lose. We really lack that player who can unlock a low block defence. I'm normally a Cash supporter but so many attacks came to nothing when he had the ball today amd as has been said elsewhere, I don't think Cash, Bailey and Diaby can all be on the right at the same time as they all want to drift wide and cut inside. A really poor showing, but big picture we will be at worst 3 points off the top come Xmas, which I think is more than any of is realistically expected at the start of the season.

    All i can think of when I see this is American West Coast surf or skate brands. Not from the 80s but new ones that are trying to copy the aesthetic without quite nailing it.
