  1. Cause we are living in Unai times
  2. A night of dreams was played out at villa park last night. We seemed to get everything right on the night and made the champion's look like fodder for our marauding attackers and well drilled team. Pep was schooled on the night by Unai's attacking formation for 90 minutes and sent back to manchester on the school bus. We may never see a performance like it again so savour the moment and breathe the air of success that we so deserve. Our only loss last night was one of our own in Benjamin Zephaniah RIP big man HEITS
  3. Not many 19 year olds have and to expect a wonder kid at villa park is just not in the club make up, Potential is the only route we can take and not many make it but his character traits are there with the elite along with the Ramseys.
  4. Thought we looked a little tired and leggy, not to sure about the tinkering at right back, think we need a new one in january and probably a midfielder to ease the workload and stress in that area. We are living in Unai times.
  5. Like the look of big Jhon and think he's way ahead of his time for a 19year old, just needs time to develop and mature into a Benteke type and an understanding of the team.
  6. Bring me sunshine Bring me rain Bring me Unai To ease the pain
  7. Just trying to hang on and enjoy the ride, the high line is a throw of the dice but the results cannot be denied and it doe's make us look like a jammy side to the opposition but only their forwards can beat it and not many have done so this far. Have always been the type who wants to win every game or have a good go and this season i have had to step on the tightrope and walk the path of Unai. We are living in Unai times.
  8. To easily bullied and brushed of the ball, What was Luiz doing for the first goal, he should have at least tried to get out to the scorer but just stood there and waved it on its way.
  9. It's just a bit of timing issue at the moment and adjusting to the pace of our style when our front boys attack.
  10. R.I.P. Charlie a legend and true clubman a gentleman and a stalwart of our club. Got up and down from full back and always had so much energy with a bit of tough tackling when he had to. You will be missed by the fans and a loss to the club.
  11. There is a buzz around Aston Villa at the moment and that has to be Unai the Magnificent, when these players play well we look a decent team and could score a few in most games. West Ham was always a side we had problems with and always a close game but we just picked up another gear yesterday and blew them bubbles away. It's still a roller coaster at the minute but hey what a ride and wonderful for the fans after so many years of drab and fruitless matches we are on the rise again.
  12. Very special player and man, a Legend in the true sense and superb to watch him glide by international defence's to hit a thunderbolt that no one could stop. The only player we had of any semblance was Bruce Rioch who could hit a ball so hard the keeper never saw it coming. R.I.P Sir Bobby take a rest on the bench in the sky.
  13. The brainwashing continues, there were 42 games a season back then and about 3 cup games, where as now we play a reserve side in the cups and usually go out very early. They play on carpet like pitches now and never see sand and mud to build there leg strength and grit to carry on when your leg is cramping up and i can see no difference in the ground covered now to then, probably was even greater when you only have 14 players to cover the miles over a season. Nutrition is better now because somehow they did it all on a pie and pint diet with a crafty fag to ease the stress. People have stats now which just serve to cover the modern day player and appear to give a false impression of a fit player at todays standards but put most of Ron's team in todays game and the pampered poodles could only watch the marathon runners of past teams in awe.
  14. When you consider that villa won the league with 14 players, who were trained to run day+ night on sand hills and poor quality mud and sand pitch's and do it for a season with every game a cup final until the end, i doubt it will ever be done again. Today you see players going down with cramp all over the pitch after 70 minutes and have the luxury of many subs in a game. The marathon runners of Ron's team, just dug in and new they were there to finish the game and Tony Morley would get in any side playing now and still be running like the road runner.
  15. The dog heads set out to stop us playing and counter with netto hoping to snatch the win. Dawson at the centre of their defence had a tremendous game and marshalled all their defensive line as he did with Harland last week. It was one they could not afford to lose so the tactics payed off for them but that was a stone wall penalty at the end and the Ref went with the home side.
  16. All credit to Unai and the players, when the opposition give us time the system work's and it work's well. Great to see JJ back and a bit of the McGinn we know is there, Konsa was back as a leader and Watkin's had a glorious day he just need's to learn to dink a ball when the keeper is bearing down. We controlled a game and dominated the vital position's, Cash had their main man under control and the defence sent it long every now and again.
  17. Knowing our players, they probably asked for a sweatshirt.
  18. Unfortunately there were no surprise's about last night's result, the ability to play out from the back when you just do not have the players to do it and the slow build to any attack meaning you always have the entire opposition in defensive positions to block your path. We are painfully weak in the aggressive stakes and think someone else should do the running to take up good positions for the outlet pass. The lack of fight or leadership to get a result is unknown to these players and their only battle in a day is to find their lucky pant's, Unai has his work cut out but the Spanish style has to have specific type's of player's and we are just putting square pegs into round hole's.
  19. You hear quote's that it's the new way of playing but it's just Don Howe at Arsenal and you have to find a Tony Adams to perfect it.
  20. The result was welcome and against 10 men you should be beating the opposition. The high line was given a great deal of help by the football brain dead forwards Chelsea put out, they had pace to burn but making the run has to be timed or we get into Liverpool and Newcastle games were the run's are effective. It's a Russian roulette system and can lead to injurie's as the defender tends to lunge in the chase back and do damage to himself overtime. Unai has been a bright light for this club only hope he can adapt his play more around the player's we have in the moment.
  21. Still trying to work out the logic of playing a defence with no pace and using the tactic of a high line to compound their weakness. Was it three minute's to show the flaw in the system and 90+ to confirm that quick forwards had it beat all day. You have to have the players to play this system and being able to beat your granny in a foot race is part of the make up involved.
  22. Its a Russian roulette defence with six bullets in the chambers. The lack of pace in the backline was insane and only a matter of time to gift the goal's to the opposition. Game plan for failure.
  23. Would love the villa to get Benteke on the coaching staff to work with our forwards and especially with this kid, every time he gets on the pitch he looks like he wants to rip your head off.
  24. You will not beat top teams playing the high line with that midfield, just not enough work rate. We miss Ramsey's legs in the centre and the others have an issue with ratting. It's never about how many goals are scored due to the highline it's the sheer chaos and fear it cause's amongst our players and the rabbit in headlights that we adopt. Trying to compare the premier league with Spain is futile as the pace and energy needed is in totally different galaxy's . Unai has been great for this club but he needs a rethink of personal and tactic's, cannot get the bailey sub situation again.
