  1. I understand the angst over increasing cost for fans. Every franchise/cub goes through this to stay competitive. Winning trophies solves all ills though. A 7th place finish with he off European adventure will not be enough.
  2. Besides Halaand wouldn't trade Watkins for any other CF in the PL. Honestly think we play better when Ollie isn't the main goal provider. I remember last season once he went on his streak we became very dependent on him scoring. Also, because he was our main outlet it became much easier to frustrate our attack. If you are game planning for Villa right now you're in a right pickle. The goals are coming from everywhere. Wouldn't want to play us, especially at home.
  3. His turn and release to send Diaby on goal at 9 minutes in the 1st half was sublime. Our tactics had him setup so far from goal while in possession. Feels like it nullifies what he can bring when a team is in a low block. He pretty much just recycled the ball left to right. No chance to play an incisive ball or line splitting pass.
  4. Making him the 5th striker Chelsea have signed in that window .
  5. £150 million. In 4-5 years when Haaland gets bored and moves to Real he is definitely on their short list.
  6. It's the new Mings thread. He has 4 assist in 5 games yet all we here is that he hadn't scored yet. The modern game demands so much more of a striker. That's why a natural finisher like Ings can't get a look in. If you are judging him based solely off of goals scored you have it wrong.
  7. With Torres starting will probably have a couple less clean sheets this season but our scoring is . Already have had 2 three and 1 four goal performances. Have to take the good with the bad.
  8. He's on pace for 34. Assisted in 4 out of 5 PL matches so far.
  9. What's more impressive scoring 15 PL goals in a season or registering 34 assist. Ollie turning into an assist machine was not on anyone's radar for this season I bet.
  10. Still very rough around the edges but oh my the potential this kid has. He has the size, the determination, and skill to goto the very top. Very happy we are the club that scooped him up before others took notice.
  11. Given he is still recovering from an Achilles tear I appreciate the caution of our medical staff when it comes to Diego.
  12. Lack of Tyrone Mings. Ezri and Pau just aren't the aerial duel winning type.
  13. All good stuff here. For me the 3-5-2 is deployed when you need to mask a deficiency in your defense. For us, it's Pau. We have to give him time to learn the PL so this may not be the last time we see 3 at the back.
  14. We just fired a manager who spoke gibberish half the time. I could never make out what Steven was getting at half the time. Unai is fine.
  15. Played well but his weaknesses are on full display when you put someone like Pau next to him. Second time we have tried that pairing agaisnt a good team and been picked apart. Ezri is definite starter on the right but the choice for LCB is wide open right now.
  16. Some truly horrific away kits on display.
  17. He came off without complaint. No bottles were kicked like a certain someone .
  18. I agree that was the reason I just struggle to see what tactical change was made. I get Baileys frustration, wasn't good but neither was Watkins or mcginn yet he gets the hook.
  19. Desperately need someone to fill the energy Buendia brought in the press. Trent in the first half had all the time in the world.
  20. I didn't see it as a lack of fight. We conceded 4 minutes in off a horror show from Pau. That will drop the shoulders of even the best team. You can tell this team misses Buendia badly. He's the type of player that always brings 100% no matter the situation. Need someone to fill that role this season.
  21. Both of those managers have a level of quality that Villa can only dream about. In the end a manager can only do so much.
  22. This is a good switch. 3 at the back was not the right call.
