TomC Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Right now we're dominating midfield. Kamara has been absolute class, helped by McGinn and others. Who's their ball winner without Rodri? Stones? He doesn't look fully fit and isn't a pure midfielder in the first place. I will be curious what tactical changes Guardiola makes to shore up midfield. He doesn't have a full slate of options. Might he give Phillips a chance? Bailey has also been outstanding. He and Kamara are leading candidates for MOTM. Can't say that anyone in the side is playing poorly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First half against Newcastle last season for me. But this is up there, absolutely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 As if we needed it: this is a marker. Whatever you think of them, they’re a good team and we’ve made them look worse than Bournemouth. Contained, controlled but they haven’t conceded. They’ll come at us in the second half, gotta be ready for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 That first half showed how how much Kamara was missed on Sunday. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we'll bring on Diaby and JJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaParkAvenue Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 That’s the best I’ve seen us play under Emery. Best in decades. Unbelievable. I’ll even be fine if we end up losing, this performance alone proves we’re 100% for real. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to grumble about there. The angle they showed was totally inconclusive to be fair. I think it probably was out but that image didn't prove anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post lapal_fan Posted December 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) Win, lose or draw, our application in that first half is the most refreshing I've ever seen Villa approach a "big team" in 36 years. We seem calm and in control. Long live Unai xoxox Edited December 6, 2023 by lapal_fan 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlitobrigante Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Emery constantly making me look like an utter fool who knows nothing about football, every player i write off he works with and seemingly turns into a world beater!
