So much more fun to cheer for a guy that everyone hates. Emi versus the French is peak entertainment. Hope we get multiple away days in France for the CL next year. Each match will be the most watched game worldwide that day.
Put in an absolutely massive shift. He was still sprinting the length of the pitch at 80+ minutes. If he's happy with 35 appearances and maybe 15 starts sign him up. Still think he moved back to seria A and tears it up next season.
This is why players give standard, boring responses to the media. If Unai says it we all nod our heads and keep it moving. I know it's only a few posters but I am really struggling to understand those who put a negative spin on what Ollie said.
Dougie is the best midfielder at Villa and the margin isn't even close. The #1 piece of evidence, that fraud Steven sat him, Watkins and Mings on the bench. Pretty much the spine of our team under Unai.
I feel like this is where I'm at as well. It's like Brentford lulled him to sleep with that first half of zero attacking. When they picked up the tempo his concern level never really elevated.
Konsa's weakness is his attacking attributes from RB. He should have easily been able to handle the defensive responsibilities. Needed Mings there to get in his sh*t after that first goal went in.
To the posters who continue to mention United. Have you actually watched them play? Even if they were to miraculously beat Liverpool they will blow a sure fire win against lower half opposition. Fergie can't hurt us anymore guys.
We can be so harsh on our own players. It was 3-3 draw and he was giving his all to win the ball back and go the win. With some of the reactions on here you swear he got the yellow on a cynical shirt tug or mouthing off to the ref.
From a defensive standpoint that was about as bad as it gets. I would have been pissed if my son's U14 side conceded any one of those 3 goals so it's crazy to see a professional defender make multiple school boy mistakes. Let's hope we don't see that again.
Back line disappeared for about 15 minutes there in the 2nd half. It's like they had to go behind to switch back on. Konsa, Carlos and Pau all made mistakes no pro should ever be caught doing.
