    Had a couple good moves while also looking a bit out-of-sync at times, but didn't really have much to do all things considered. Second half was extremely disjointed with all the changes, stoppages and the style of play completely shifting to studs-to-ankle combat in the centre circle, so the fullbacks weren't really able to get as involved as in the first. Plus, with Ings up top on his own and no width at all, there were no overlaps on and nobody to cross to. First half, Bailey and Coutinho were dragging their fullbacks all over, giving Cash and Digne tons of room to get forward.

    His first touch and ability to move the ball accurately and quickly was transformative.

    Hard to tell, we really don't have the same passing in midfield with Marv in there now so we aren't distributing to the fullbacks as regularly and fluidly as in the first half, and without the likes of Bailey to stretch the defenders, there's not much room for him to get forward.

    Is this a gif for ants?

    Freddie's (not) dead!

    Buendia will pick out Bailey with through balls all day if he keeps making runs like he has this game.

    That's Phil off penalty duty, then.
  8. the_eristic
    I doubt it.

    He posted a story with him there, he's also in a couple of Big Emi's stories playing with kangaroos.

    ........is that Mufasa?

    Salah would've had it given tbf.
  12. the_eristic
    I hope so. He's smashed his loans and I'd much rather have a senior player pushing Cash than a pittance from a French side. Would let us send KKH out to the C'ship for a full season, too.

    I'm all about this 1878 badge.

    Hause surely going, Konsa recovering from injury, or..... 3 at the back?
  15. the_eristic
    Thought Tommy retired last year.
  16. the_eristic
    Similar story, though. Got a string of injuries within a few months Summer-Fall of '20 (ankle then knee then hamstring), missed a chunk of his last season at WB and never really looked the same.
  17. the_eristic
    Had one like that vs Wolves and an even better on vs Blades, I think it was. Hope we keep him.

    Would be a great upgrade on Marv, excellent presser and very reliable passer, but tends to pick up injuries a lot and won't want to be a rotation option, unless we're going to play two DMs regularly. He's not going to give you much going forward, but Adams + Kamara would seriously lock things down. If you're up, you can catch him playing some primo CONCACAF murderball right now.

    Weird head, Gerrard out.
  20. the_eristic
    Nonsense, only gotten on one in his life.
  21. the_eristic
    With his movement, we've got to get him on the pitch with Phil and Em10.

    Bridge's loan went abysmally. When he only got one league game (plus 92nd minute sub appearance) for French 3rd Division side then never even made the squad again before returning to Villa in January, you kinda figured it was coming.
  23. the_eristic
    Aside from the typical woes of adapting to a new country/league/slipshod side, the main issue was he's naturally a false 9, while everyone expected him to be a Benteke as we played him like a Heskey. Either he wasn't scouted properly by Suso and co, or Deano and ROK saw him and said, there's a big lad, just pump it up to him (or maybe both). With that classic Villa irony, he'd probably have been a much better fit for how we're trying to play now than Ollie, and Ollie much better for the promoted side.
  24. the_eristic
    He looked like a player managing an injury in the Ukraine game. Just walking the majority of the game, then clutched his right hamstring a couple times after higher intensity actions.
  25. the_eristic
    Scotland looks awful in general. He's barely moving, though, which is a bit concerning.
