    Certain posters would be furious at the 9-year-old's lack of physical presence.

    Ow, he's a Sh*t.... House He's mighty mighty He's running the clock right out

    Whew. Made hard work of it, as always. Crowded out in midfield and largely too slow/sloppy on the ball for their press and second to too many loose balls. Great saves by big Emi, though, and the goal a due reward for lil' Emi's hard work. Never going to see the best of him with nobody making runs in front of him, though. Starting to get some players who can play out of tight spaces like Boubs (who was class) but still nowhere near enough support and movement today.

    Even just watching on TV/Internet for 16-17 years, the songs have noticeably dried up, past few seasons especially badly. Used to hear the proper HEITS and the like regularly. Also haven't had enough good player songs to fill in the gaps (......maybe because we haven't had enough good players).

    Glad he finally got a goal, shame we chucked it away. Made good diagonal runs and found space in the box several other times only to watch Coutinho and Bailey blast over.

    The real shame of it all was undoing Sanson's good performance and first goal for the club. Oh, and the predictable collapse after being undone by a lazy mistake. That sucks, too.

    You reckon Dendoncker's just made himself a cool few million from the Triads?

    lol

    All you can do is laugh at that ending.

    No support on the ball today, everyone isolated, a step late and making poor decisions in the attacking third, especially Cash and Bailey.

    Good footballer, would be of benefit to our other good footballers. Injury proneness is the main worry for me, always seems to miss a fair few games, but probably won't cost too much, at least.

    Unai Emery

    the_eristic replied to PeterSw's topic in Villa Talk

    We had a few fairly long unbeaten runs under MON. Lots of draws and usually followed by awful runs, but still.

    Patience.

    Just too uncomfortable coming off his line and commanding the box. You'd think with his height and build it'd be a strength, but he looks so nervy when he has move. Can't get away with that in the modern game.

    We'll never win a league match with Olsen in goal. He's completely passive.
  16. the_eristic
    Outnumbered in midfield, useless at finishing, nearly everyone looking a step too slow. Need to get The Donk™ on and probably another striker.

    Looks like as close to full strength as possible for the starting 11.
  19. the_eristic
    At 61 and 56, I doubt it.

    Automatic extension with big raise after x appearances?
  21. the_eristic
    Massive save!

    Friend of mine said he said something about steamed hams? He isn't even from Albany.
  23. the_eristic
    Indeed, yesterday Emery brought on protection for Cash, a replacement for Digne, a purely defensive mid and two forwards with pace for the counter threat. Also moved McGinn to the left so a left-footer would covering that flank in front of the LB. Clear how he was setting things up to see out the game. Not the right conditions for a CM short on match fitness.
  24. the_eristic
    Me too, maybe I'm just so accustomed to him getting one on a goal kick I imagined his first in my Sunday morning haze?
  25. the_eristic
    Wish he'd been pressed on the Stoke game and his general performances in the final third of his seasons here.
