On the pitch, you need that hunger…

Last month, our @theathleticfc.bsky.social subscribers asked for a comprehensive dive into the inner workings of #AVFC's academy: how it operates, recruitment, planning, funding, reputation, ambitions and the best young talent. Well here's a big read on it all: www.nytimes.com/athletic/621...

Morgan Rogers interview with ITV for England - good listen (8m) "'I lost my identity' Morgan Rogers brutally reveals WHY Man City let him go & what changed" www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3yR... #avfc

Raise your hand if tonight is your first England cap as a starter ✋ Congratulations, Morgan 💜 #AVFC

**Yes I know it's only Latvia** But some very encouraging signs for The Rashford Regeneration project #avfc

RIP

Enzo Barrenechea for Valencia vs Girona 89 minutes played 1 chance created 59 touches 3 passes into the final third 4 clearances 2 headed clearances 2 interceptions 9 defensive actions 6 recoveries 7 duels won 5 ground duels won 100% aerial duels won #AVFC

Goosebumps in a good way 💜💙 The movement from Marco Asensio | 🇪🇸 | Midfield runner, outlet man one side, then the other, then a fox in the box And a shout out to John McGinn | 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 | and his arse tricks keeping it all alive 💥 #avfc #avfchistory #avlbrg

Marco Asensio's start at #AVFC: 🟣Impressive trainer but surprised by intensity 🟣Emery's regular contact for 2 yrs 🟣A return to No 10 after miscast as a winger 🟣Attacking freedom/crash the box 🟣Impressed by high standards & restaurants in city centre www.nytimes.com/athletic/619...

In the last eleven games that Ezri Konsa and Tyrone Mings have started for #AVFC, they have won seven (D3, L1) including each of the last three (Chelsea, Club Brugge, Brentford). Partnership 📈

Axel Disasi for #AVFC vs Brentford 1 chance created 51 touches 2 successful dribbles 2 tackles won 1 block 6 clearances 4 headed clearances 2 interceptions 11 defensive actions 8 duels won Mega performance 👏

Much needed win there. Congratulations to Olsen on the clean sheet. He gives me major anxiety, but he did mostly well today. We got robbed on that offside and Collins must see red for that assault at the end. But a win is a win is a win. Onto Brugge!

Well. Brentford lacking any urgency/ confidence and are there for the taking. Rashford and Malen to be difference makers from the bench. Time for Leon to enjoy the rest of his evening from the bench.

PNE currently sit 15th in the Champ. It's an incredible opportunity. Particularly considering we may have Pau, Mings, Barkley, Onana, Cash and Malen available by then. I'm hopeful that we may yet finish the season with some momentum.

I will take Preston at Home for a semi please Carol

Marcus Rashford created six chances for Aston Villa vs Cardiff City tonight, which equals the most he ever created in any of his 426 matches for Manchester United (against Wigan in January 2024). 📈 #AVFC

Youri Tielemans is an absolute hero this year. Poor man desperate for a rest. Keeps plugging away for us. Love him.

Let's just let Asensio do the shooting from now on 🔥🔥🔥

⚽️ Marco Asensio 🅰️ Marcus Rashford. Get used to it. #AVFC

Ollie Watkins finishing is a riddle. I cannot fathom it.

As an Aston Villa goalkeeper, Robin Olsen concedes a goal every 36.67 minutes he plays. He has conceded 42 goals from 92 shots on target against him in the 20 games he has played for the club. #AVFC

Last night Aston Villa conceded 4.31xG against Crystal Palace, their most on record in the Premier League since promotion back to the competition in 2019. Bad. #AVFC

That Robin Olsen still turns out for Aston Villa in the Premier League displays defies sense. The man is perhaps the worst performing Villa player I have ever known and it's been allowed to continue for years. I've no ill will against him personally. But clearly, surely for all parties this must end

Villa PL 'keepers >20 Appearances (all comps) Worst to Best ❗ Olsen 2.10 Goals conceded per game ❗ Heaton 1.75 Bunn 1.71 Guzan 1.67 Given 1.55 Nyland 1.50 Friedel 1.31 Carson 1.31 Schmeichel 1.25 Martínez 1.24 ⭐ Sörensen 1.17 Enckelman 1.09 Steer 1.03 James 0.99 Bosnich 0.95 Frightening #avfc

Robin Olsen has now made his 20th Aston Villa appearance! 🎉🎉 In that time, he has managed to concede 42 goals. That's an average of exactly 2.1 conceded per game! An impressive feat indeed. Even moreso having played a whole 1,540 minutes in claret & blue, equalling 17.1 games. #AVFC #UTV 1/2

The game is gone.

Unai has clearly had enough of us conceding stupid goals. It's not quite park the bus. But is certainly conservative. #avfc

Never, ever fall in love with a loan player www.skysports.com/football/new...

THIS

Whilst I don't get nearly as much pleasure from Man City's collapse as I do Man Utd's. It's very enjoyable nevertheless

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Chelsea, Newcastle, Forest all lose and Villa serve up a humiliation of a performance. It all starts with Watkins miss. Delap 1 chance, 1 goal. Watkins 2 chances 1 goal. The margins are razor thin and we are constantly on the wrong side of them this year.

Shambolic

And that's why you pay the big bucks... Rashford quality

Although I love him, Ollie Watkins has missed an unbelievable amount of big chances this season. I can't defend it. It's just getting silly. Hopefully he can turn it around soon.

Incredible. Kamara off injured. How's your luck?

They can’t park the bus
