  1. Number is only going up. Hope we didn't low ball him to start. Whatever it is we will have to pay it. Can't afford his replacement.
  2. Match xG Aston Villa 1.96 Brighton 1.86 I use xG at times but just a reminder no stat is the end all be all.
  3. So Villa fans can clap Ashley Young on his return to Villa Park but Jacob Ramsey congratulating him with a "like" is a bridge to far.
  4. I'm early 40s and my kids call me a boomer. Just a different way of calling old people out of touch which kids will do tomorrow, next year and a century from now.
  5. Or makes his own chances from nothing due to his pressing and incessant running.
  6. What's the 4th loss? In knockout matches he's lost to stevenege, Man U and Everton.
  7. I didn't see much difference in Everton's setup from our last time out. We just didn't have the quality this time around. I usually don't blame the players but it's becoming quite obvious with our injuries Unai can only go about 3-4 deep into the bench for starting 11 quality. That's a problem when you have a European campaign and the league to manage. Let alone add in the domestic cups. West Ham won conference by completely punting on every other competition. They were far from competitive in the league and went out early in both cups. Hopefully Emery can find a system that works but so far no good. Probably will have to strengthen in January if this trend continues.
  8. Then the season is already over. Emery got to find a working rotation. Obviously the search continues.
  9. Looking at our long term situation. Doubling Ollie's salary to 160k would cost ~£5 million a year. Over a 5 year contract that's £25 million. That's isn't much when we are talking salaries for strikers. Take a look at Spotrac, every lead striker/attacker is clearing over 200k p/w for a top 6 club. You would rather fork out £60 million in transfer fees and the increased salary to this mythical new striker. That's just bad business. Ollie deserve the deal and it makes financial sense. While it's true we could possibly find a better striker, we could also spend double what we paid for Ollie and end up with someone much worse.
  10. He still hasn't signed the contract. So I guess presently sorted but not for the long term.
  11. Agree. Attackers are usually your highest paid players. Would be dumb if his representation didn't ask to at least match the highest earner.
  12. Probably controversial but the ref made the one call that mattered. Could care less about the more marginal calls.

    Chelsea

    At what point does Boehly attempt to purchase Brighton outright and just swap league positions. Sucks the promoted teams are so bad or we could be cheering on a Chelsea relegation.
  14. Whatever # the club is offering will probably have to go up. Just don't see an obvious replacement for him, at least at a price we can afford, out there. His agent probably knows that as well. Still think the deal will get done but Ollie definitely has the leverage.
  15. At a point in the 1st half the entire Chelsea midfield took turns fouling him and couldn't get a whif of the ball. They all eventually threw their hands up and just let him keep it. Absolutely amazing footballer.
  16. Honestly he got the knock so quick I couldn't tell. Like you stated, hope it's just niggle. Definitely don't want a recurrence of the original injury. Bones in the feet are notorious for taking forever to heal.
  17. I'm glad you said it . Love how we are just setting ourselves up to get hurt again. Just can't quit the Villa.
  18. The man is an artist. Paints a Picasso every clean sheet. Absolutely adore him.
  19. Still not convinced with him on the left side of the midfield. Diaby playing in his preferred position but is far to good to unseat. Great option to have though. Going to put one through the net eventually. Can't wait.
  20. May have been a bit to early for Jacob. He was moving around very gingerly after coming on. Take your time Jacob we need you at 100%.
  21. 5th game from 6 with a goal contributing action. If he starts we have a great chance at scoring and winning. Long may it continue.
  22. Great result. Even better with a clean sheet. Chelsea has one more game in September to score before they have to cancel their goal of the month award .
  23. If Chelsea can't score on us right now they may never score.
  24. Chelsea haven't scored a goal in the month of September. You know what comes next. Still picking Villa to win because we will score 2+. 3-1 UTV!!!
  25. First goal Konsa drops deeper than everyone else putting Digne's man onside for the cross. Digne should have went with the runner but Konsa dropping the line deeper doesn't help at all. Just a really disjointed performance all around. With your example the midfield and defensive lines aren't connected they are overlapping in some terrible amoeba like shape. No one knows who is responsible for what which leads to missed assignments on a loss of possession. Good news is most of this is fixable, against the type of quality in the conference league, with some film sessions and squad selection. Still don't know what we do for the elite teams in the PL.
