mikeyjavfc Posted August 13, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2023 Man Utd lost 7-0 to their bitter rivals last year on the way to a third place finish (lol). This is funny but the lesson is that a freak result doesn’t need to be anything more than that, and at least we can understand why it happened with the Mings injury blowing a hole in our plan. Emery will be working on a Mings-less system to make us a success for the next game and Monchi will be deep into his database if more cover is now needed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I'm sitting in the sun with a coffee and reading VT. Agree with previous posters, hopefully this can galvanise everyone connected with Villa and not to let this happen again. 3-0 against Everton please.

Mantis Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Even after losing two key players, our squad is still a world away from what we had this time 4 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) We still have a squad to win the ECL and a top 10 finish in PL. We just need to lower expectations from a top 6 to a top 10 with the squad damage and the morale damage if the past few days Edited August 13, 2023 by CVByrne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Targett came in at left back and had a good understanding with JG. Konsa also came of age second half of that season, especially in lock down.

Could be, but losing Mings was so catastrophic, I just think we mainly should write off what happened after he was stretchered off the pitch. That wasn't Villa. That was a traumatised squad of younger adults feeling incredibly distracted and, on a practically level, suddenly rudderless. I think had Mings stayed, we had every chance in the world to win or at least get a draw. Edited August 13, 2023 by Marka Ragnos 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I'd imagine every single one of us was feeling positive 11 weeks ago when we'd just finished 7th and qualified for European football. I think there is just as much to be positive about now. No doubt that yesterday was a kick in the bollocks but just as when we completely outplayed Newcastle 4 months ago didn't make them a bad team likewise us being well beaten by them yesterday doesn't make us one. Mings and Buendia being out long term is a real concern but we've also strengthened with three excellent additions and I am sure there will be 2 or 3 more incoming. We'll be fine. Keep the faith. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those 35 points should have been 34 if not for the goal line technology failure, typical vile luck, at least we will get promoted in proppa style with Wagner and Daly at first base holla if you hear the Blues of Birmingham we’re coming for you Vile we’re coming for you 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
