Toney has been a bit of a Premier League flop one goal from open play and well no prizes for guessing who that was against 17th is a very good season for them though. They'll build again with some clever additions no matter what happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't always get their signings right. It doesnt matter what moneyball system they use nothing works 100% of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a long old season and we have lost our last 5 and yet are only 2 points behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Honeymoon period over me think. Even back when they were doing well and everyone was hyping them up I still had them going down. Squad is just not good enough. If Frank manages to keep them up he has done a phenomenal job.

VillaChris Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 They were still playing very well recently in fairness and had Liverpool, Chelsea and Leicester all in a row as home games. Losing back to back to Burnley and Norwich is big reality check though. Newcastle away next up is massive away for both. Fancy them to win that actually as all the pressure will be on Howe and Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone should up their levels against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all Serie A teams dont have access to a specific medical equipment that clubs in Netherlands or England have. It might be a defibrilator or something similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Would love to see him back on the pitch, think Eriksen wants to just play at world cup and perhaps he may retire afterwards. However it must be safe for him to resume and can anyone really be 100% given what he went through last June? I presume years back Muamba had a pacemaker fitted but it was decided he shouldn't come back to play at top level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a rule in italy that you cant play if you have a pacemaker. That rule isnt there in england or the Netherlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 The pace of the PL would be a huge factor surely? I think he should seriously consider counting his lucky stars he has a second chance and take a step back from playing and go the badges/manager route. Think heâs being an idiot imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume he can go about his normal life now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 From a Brentford perspective I'm not sure how much he even has to play, if guess this will come with a coutinho esque buzz that we've got that should be enough of a shot in the arm to see them perfectly safe this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I donât think so and I personally wouldnât be willing to find out if my pacemaker was up to it. I just think itâs incredibly risky and with the money he has got and a second chance at life given to him, just my opinion, but I think he is being a little bit stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A slower paced league would be better to try and test yourself before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
