Your expectations are obviously ridiculously higher than mine. As I thought down of those performances were absolutely sensational esp the bristol city one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will bring in the midfield and subsequently alleviate pressure on the defence. I hear all the arguments of Strikers needing service and they do ......BUT they have to help themselves too. Its arguably the hardest position on the pitch.....they sometimes need to remind us. I like Kodjia when he is firing......but he is an inside forward for me who plays off a big man......He hasn't got the natural aggression of say Costa, who can give as good as he gets....He would be ok playing off Duncan Ferguson and the like. I see a problem for us there at present.....and I think further more its affecting the whole team. I agree @TRO, a big number nine is needed, Kodjia can't hold the ball up the way we need him to and often goes missing. Who do you think we could get who might do it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool were always famous for “ pass and move” and I found them very dull to watch. Many others. Villa have never played pass and move type football, whether Saunders, BFR, GT, Sir Brian, Gregory, or MON we’ve always played a more graft and wingers style...and I love it in irs various incarnations. As for ‘tiki takka’ another fashionable style, it bores me stiff whether it’s Spain, Swansea, or Stourport. So by all means dislike what you see, but don’t assume we all like the same thing. I would take you to task over Big Ron - his team are the best I have seen at VP - even better than the side Ron Saunders put together in my view and the football was great to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just have to look at the respective silverware counts. And who could forget that night when we put 5 past Liverpool in 45 minutes? I liked BFR immensely, but Ron Saunders was a different class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s all relative but when I watch early 90s football replays the standard and fitness levels seem so poor. Foreign players and coaches took the Premier league to another level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he first came in the football was fine, and then, for some strange reason we got all cautious, strangely enough when we topped the league, and it didn't get much better after that,culminating in one of the worst FA cup displays ever.
