Would you rather….. Barry or tielemens Laursen or mings Melberg or konsa Carew or watkins Young or rogers Merson or asensio Milner or mcginn Guzan or emi 😜
comment in response to post
If you think people under estimate konsa, its double for mings. Man is awesome and a warrior! The pair of them together are formidable
comment in response to post
He had a very decent game against a top opponent in mitoma. Great ball for rogers for second goal too. Some people are morons. Simple as that

Q for the next q and a - Who will be villas top scorer this season?
comment in response to post
Feels like plenty of balls like Emi's last night for the red card could work really well for watkins/rashford/rogers/ramsey depending who plays. They will back their press if we play out from the back every time

Lets challenge him to sign a 10 year deal!!!

Even better than that Joel Durrel fella or whatever he was called
comment in response to post
Mcginn and youri playing every minute right now in the most physically demanding area of the pitch definitely not helping. They needed rest before last night but nobody to come in (bogarde maybe?). Far from the only resson we lost but felt a game like this was coming

they are all nowhere near god enough

Feels sometimes like we're trying to be clever maybe & forget about things like tempo and playing with a bit of aggression and intent? Haven't won a single game by more than 2 goals all season, surely that will do more for fatigue than being bang at it from the first whistle and attacking games?

Why have we moved so far away from how we played a year or so ago when we were on fire start of the 23/24 season culminating with the victories over Man City and Arsenal in December 23? Hear things like 'we needed to evolve the style' etc but not sure I get that when we were outplaying the champions
comment in response to post
Absolutely and think he'd be first to say that. More than has it in him to hit double figures from that position though. He is a class player. Hoping likes of Asensio help raise his levels too
comment in response to post
🤣exactly this. Richards and Lescott were the 'random technology that doesn't yet exist will sort out the Irish border issue' defensive equivalent of a premier league team!
comment in response to post
it really isn't abysmal. Deffo should have had more goals last week but he is still building himself back up with run of games and would fully expect him to score those chances more often than not. Saying he is abysmal at finishing is just silly
comment in response to post
Come on, if only we all ‘believed’ in it more it would have worked. Surely you’re not saying thats not a credible defence in the face of endless, stats, data, facts and real life experiences? 😃
comment in response to post
Still maintain Ramsey has high a ceiling as anyone. These 2 could terrorise defences for years to come in claret and blue and cannot wait to see it #AVFC
comment in response to post
What the hell is going on with Onana? Has such huge potential but just never fit. Has he just been unlucky or is there anything in the 'slightest knock/pain and he won't play' accusation? Could still be a key player this season in the run in but zero confidence he'll be available for enough games

5-1

A shame some of these big name ‘pundits’ aren’t as quick to call out the likes of the Mail and the S*n as they are a young lad. Basically have the audacity to embarass their Tory puppets. Really is grim

What happened with the Turkish lad Jacob?

Poker champs!!

Definitely part of the game but we’ll soon know if its worked.

How can you not like someone who has that on their CV
comment in response to post
the duran and buendia replacement will be one person alsmost certainly so they would be registered with Malen and new CB you'd think. Hopefully cash injury not too bad
