mikeyp102 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 2 minutes ago, GENTLEMAN said: I think we may well offer him a 1 year extension, however he may well get a longer deal elsewhere and considering his age might take that up. Possibly and understandably from his point of view. But he does mention how much pride he has at being at such a big club and how he has unfinished business here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Such a strange decision. Was great up until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) With the presure that was on us all game it didnt surprise me that one would go in, shame it was elphick who got turned. That was a hard done by goal in my eyes at what should of been a draw, our defence looked pretty solid for a team that was getting way to pressured for what was 70 or so mins.

Demitri_C Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 Felt a lil bad for Tommy a she was pretty good up until the goal. His fault but I dobt want to get on his back as he was very good otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 He’s been brilliant since he came back so although it was rash I can’t put us losing on him, everyone in front and to the side of him and Mings failed to do their job in keeping the ball away and in the other net. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to Maupay, he did execute a bit of good ball control, to score, jinked his way past.....something we could only admire.

bobzy Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 He did it all game and finally got punished for it. His decision making really seems to be off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 He’s been good since he’s come back. thsts why I’m not annoyed at him, neither for the goal, nor for the mad clearance from defence that went straight to their player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I don't think he is the fittest player you will ever see to be honest. He always looks knackered and a bit overweight to me. Tired players make tired decisions and that's what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 You could argue he is our 4th choice centre half so in that respect he could be a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno you know. i know he’s been playing with an injury, but Tommy’s looked better than Chester’s recent performances. Do miss Chester’s goal threat tho id go Mings, Tuanzebe, Elphick, Chester, Hause 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taxahunter Posted February 18, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 18, 2019 I dont know why he is being singled out for the Brentford goal, several persons before and after him being turned could and should have stopped Maupay. Thought he has been good since returning and was fine again saturday. I especially remember the sliding tackle in the middle of first half when the WBA player was played through in our left side of the goal area.

TRO Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Tommy writes an interesting piece in Tuesday Nights Birmingham Mail...."whats wrong with Aston Villa" Might be worth reading.....He talks about the players as opposed to the managers, some on here have made similar references to end of contract issues and He talks about ...lacking unity and togetherness. He says " There are different people in different situations at the moment and I think if we all realised that Aston Villa in the top six, is beneficial to everyone, we will start winning games. "When things are not going right for us on the pitch, we can become a bit individual and start playing on our own.When things arn't going right people react in different ways. " I think sometimes we are naive through our own honesty, people chasing on our own, trying to press balls we are not going to get" "Sometimes we just need to get through the next 5 minutes and build from there" Just a sample few lines of what he said take from that what you will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted February 27, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 27, 2019 As per @TRO‘s post in the other thread - Quote Discussing the dressing room spirit, he said: “I think we have got it but there are different people in different situations at the moment. “I think if we all realised that Aston Villa being in the top six is beneficial to everyone, we will start winning games. “When things are not going right for us on the pitch, we can become a bit individual and playing on our own. “The second half on Saturday was a real positive and a performance we have to take forward now.” Elphick continued: “The gaffer came in at half-time and gave us a few home truths about looking like a team, being a team and being a good team-mate. “It was an important message that he got over to us and something we’ve spoken about in recent weeks. “The second half was a real team performance, all pushing and pulling in the right direction. “Whether there were mistakes or something going wrong, we all reacted as a group whereas first half we were playing as individuals. “That’s an important message and something that we need to learn from and take forward for sure.” E&S link Think it paints a picture that had been suggested by a few on here. It adds a bit of weight to the idea that players were made aware of their fate in the summer. If that happened, McGrath knows why. As for Tommy, he seems to be enjoying life at Villa more than he has done previously. He’s always seemed like a decent sort to be fair to him. It’s difficult to say for definite as I don’t know what our summer targets will be. But as it stands, I wouldn’t be against offering him a year extension to his contract. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
