His meltdown at the United result was awesome though. Begging Sky to tear up his contract as he never wanted to have to comment on a performance like that from “his” team.

It won't be a collapse as such, just abandoned games due to the long grass at Villa Park and well, lost footballs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chappy Posted October 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2020 Souness should’ve been moved on long ago. Hope Sky take the opportunity to do it now. No point flashing up ‘no room for racism’ on the screen before every game if you’re going to have a pundit saying what he said. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I’m not the only one who finds Sky calling us beating Liverpool 7-2 “Silly Sunday” a tad disrespectful? We completely outplayed them with a bit of swagger, wasn’t some fluke performance. Hate how the media always want to dismiss Villa at every chance, they practically scoffed at the idea Villa could win before the kickoff and only covered there backs by saying “well it is possible, anything is possible” Where is the plaudits for our performance?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Zatman Posted October 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2020 Quote Aston Villa hero Gabriel Agbonlahor has hit back at Graeme Souness for his comments after Dean Smith's side's 7-2 drubbing of Liverpool last night.Now Agbonlahor has hit back at Souness and demanded respect for Villa. Smith's side are now second in the League after three wins from their opening three matches. "Liverpool fans who work in punditry will say 'oh it was poor defending'," Agbonlahor told talkSPORT. "I mean, Graeme Souness's comment was absolutely ridiculous about the length of the grass. What's next, the floodlights are too bright? "Adrian gave away the first goal because the floodlights were in his eyes? No it wasn't it was outstanding attack play from Villa, outstanding midfield, defence and goalkeeper. "This team are not scared of anyone, Villa are doing what Villa want to do and they are not looking at anyone else. "They've got their players there and they've got a side and a squad who can put it on anyone on the Premier League. "You have to give Villa the respect for last night and what they did and not Liverpool defending." https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/gabby-agbonlahor-hits-back-at-absolutely-ridiculous-graeme-souness-after-aston-vila-7-2-liverpool/ar-BB19IsY4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got asked if Villa had been inspired by Leeds... somehow they’re getting credit for our wins now. Gabby gave them their answer though.

The same thing was said on Football Weekly yesterday (I listened to it today) Barry Glendenning said something like (I'm paraphrasing) "I think teams are looking at how fearless Bielsa is with Leeds and being more attacking which is why we're getting results like the 7-2 yesterday" As if Dean Smith had enough time to watch how leeds have played in their first 3 games, understand it, have the desire to change our system (even though we'd won both of our opening league games), implement the system and implement it SO well that we smashed the reigning champions 7-2 It's utterly ludicrous. Leeds didn't invent attacking football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds didn't invent attacking football. Entirely different game, too. Leeds kept the ball against Liverpool and tried to create openings by finding space between the lines. This, naturally, led to Liverpool countering more, having more shots etc. (they really should have won), whereas we generally kept very disciplined in our half, and played balls over the top of Liverpool, then pressed and utilised Barkley's running to break. I imagine Liverpool had much more of the ball, but that we created far, far more. **** media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude is still living in the 80's and his views not only on football but general word views seems so outdated. No doubt he was a fantastic player in his day but... surely it's time for him to move on now. 1880’s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I’d honestly say that listening to Souness puts a bit of a downer on you. He’s so **** dull and miserable he also had absolutely nothing insightful to say, hopefully he’ll get **** off to beIN or the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant believe he gets offered new contracts with them really 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
