Dale Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Adama is proof that any headless chicken with fantastic physical attributes can be coached to be very good indeed. Second goal was a foul all over on Mendy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BleedClaretAndBlue Posted December 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2019 I really have never seen them as a rival. I look at them like id look at Leicester or Forest. SHA & Boggies will always be our local rivalry. I cant stand most of their fans, they all came out the woodwork since their league one days and have given it; but I suppose you would when you’ve been in a shadow for decades to suddenly then hit the jackpot. What theyve done since Nuno and Mendes went in you can only applaud. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 They've just signed very well. Jimenez, Neves, Moutinho and increasingly Adama. Being blunt we need to provide Grealish with this sort of quality around him in next few transfer windows if we're to a) stay up and b) actually make him want to stay in the long term. Top quality international players. Still doing way better than I thought. Thought they'd do well in europa but 5th in the league is outstanding and they could easily be higher considering Spurs mugged them the other week. Lost arguably their best CB to injury and Nuno still isn't rotating much. They're just very well coached and have great quality in key areas so it's a nice mix. I've never really had a big issue with them, always thought they've massively underachieved as a club since I started following football in mid 90s. At least SHA and WBA never come close to having this type of quality in their 11s, now that would be a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met Him before he knows his stuff. Doing great job there running the club. Edited December 27, 2019 by Villan4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Raul Jimenez is just incredible. One of the best number 9s in the world. And he plays for **** Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 They are outstanding. To think they struggled on earlier this season too. Imagine Grealish in a team like that around him. Our transfer activity has let us down so much over the years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 For all the praise they're getting, and they are doing very well, they're not doing that much better than the likes of Sheffield United and Palace, even Newcastle aren't that far behind them in the table. There's a good chance that if City hadn't have gone down to ten men today then they would have lost and would still be on 27 points in nineth place just two points ahead of Newcastle United. Winning the Europa league will be the big one for them if they can manage it, will be their first major trophy win for decades and will also get them into the champions league.

We sing "Birmingham are you listening" pretty much every game, and "**** the Albion" is fairly common as well so I'm not sure we can lord it over the other teams about their obsession. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives me some hope for young Wesley Players like Jimenez and Adama are proof that you really can't predict the trajectory of a player's career. We shouldn't be writing any of our kids off at all. Watching the City game, I was really impressed with how Adama has learnt how to use his physical attributes in a clever way. Such a transformation from what we saw at Villa.
