I think people need to get it into their heads that we aren't jumping to top 6 next year. We need to move up a few places and be safe earlier. That's it. The signings being made will help us achieve that imo. Very well said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would it be different with this villa Team? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True story I was once on a train with a bunch of Bournemouth fans who were all chipper after pasting West Ham that day. There was a group of pensioner "hard nuts" amongst them. Really made me laugh because of the Bournemouth stereotype etc. But there were being proper loutish knob-ends and they must have been past 80. Was a weird sight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Credit to the management, we nearly bombed out of the league for having no decent keeper and no decent striker after two awful injuries - if reports are true, looks like they are plugging those holes first, sort of exactly what was needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially not anyone who play with a 1 striker system. Our problem is that we haven't got 1 good one. Quality not bulk. Buy cheap buy twice.

Played much more in the cups but was dropped for both SFs this summer so OGS dosen't fancy him when a trophy is on the line. Would prefer Martinez tbh if there's still a chance. Yeah would’ve much preferred Martinez, if he was gettable, as a good long term option. At least Romero would be an upgrade on Nyland, Steer & Kalinic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I think the fact that our xG was almost identical to Bournemouth last season lends credence to the idea that our strikers were just poor and there's were better/more clinical. With the chances we create, theoretically Wilson should score more than he did for Bournemouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would it be different with this villa Team? Chances aren't equal. A chance just means someone did something to play someone else in on goal. It doesn't describe what the defenders were doing, how easy it was to control, how far out from goal they were, what angle they were to the goal, how good the goalkeeper was, was it a cold rainy night in Stoke?... Grealish would have had like 15+ assists last season with a striker that can score goals on the pitch. The quality of chances Villa produce is of a relatively high standard and we create a lot of them. I guarantee Wilson was both starved of chances and starved of quality chances because of poor players around him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
