villalad21 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) Saka is the only player i'd take into the Villa eleven. Possibly Gabriel too. Luiz i rate ahead of Partey I don't rate their players at all Edited December 13, 2020 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted December 13, 2020 Moderator Share Posted December 13, 2020 They seem to have a lot of faith in Arteta, but he could definitely lose the next three and surely if he does there will have to be a change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allegri gave an interview last week pretty much in English to I think the Times. Said he wanted to work in England next and he'd been to the theatre a few times in London with his wife so that seems an obvious move. Doubt Pochettino would want to manage them given he was at Spurs 5 years but with some of their younger players it would probably suit his style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt he will go there though, as he will get better offers than a relegation threatened bunch of self entitled whingers like Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United, think that's clear although don't think OGS will be sacked before the summer so perhaps he'll get tired of waiting. Will we finish within 10 points of Arsenal, that's the big question OFTR.

Is it me or is it completely unjustified faith? Ok, he worked with Guardiola for a bit. Giving him a job as big as Arsenal for his first managerial role is madness. At least Lampard and Ole had cut their teeth at some other clubs for a bit (and Ole was only meant to be temporary). He's only had a year in the job, but he should never have been given it in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) I've seen "Paellardyce" trending, which is very amusing, but completely unfair. Big Sam is ten times the manager Arteta is. Edited December 13, 2020 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would play him over Watkins? Watkins has more to his game imo. Better at hold up play. Better linkup player. Better in the air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its obvious that his staff arent really offering much in terms of quality, I see Villa legend Steve Round is his assistant They needed to put a senior person next to him to guide him like United did with Phelan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked up what he did for us and when, and that explains it. It's in the trauma years that my mind won't let me recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
