Thats not how it works....

Him and prowsey are both excellent players in the link between attack and defence which makes Derrys statement quite bizarre

They arent hitting goals as the system is dire, uncreative and slow To score you need create, villa do neither

Yup more or less agree with it all. FWIW both the decent low crosses were Clyne and Bertrand. Totally agree with what you said about the other crosses, the problem was it wasnt turning them around, like I hoped we would with the inclusion of Mane and Elia. The couple of times we did we looked dangerous, otherwise it was all too easy for an organised defence that included CBs able in the air. I stand by the fact there was enough quality in a few crosses, just not enough of them. Out of nearly 15 crosses only around 3 were away from the keeper or anywhere of any value. As I said unfortunately nobody was there to convert, Pellè takes up positions that are too deep, perhaps its an indication of his lack of form, something he may avoid with more composure in his strikes at goal. He does get little support at times though, personally I like JWP but he doesnt get near Pellè 'enough', though I think Pellè needs to use his strength to hold the ball up rather then always trying the flick. He is good enough. Yes we do need adequate back up to Pellè though

Villa dont need another striker, they have two with enough quality, three if Weimann finds form again. Thet need new management and new ideas

Speaking of Sinclair ? Wasnt he on loan at Hibs ?

I could definately comment.....

I could comment.....

In an aushwitz rememberance year I fid it utterly despicable that this sort of thing goes on in the workplace

I gave it a go, I just find it so incredibly boring. As a coach I quite like tactics etc and how they affect games of football so I thought that NFL would be excellent with the plays etc Surely they must only really 'play' about 15mins ? The rest is talking, getting ready and adverts ? Fair play to those that like it and I genuinely hope you enjoyed it, just think its amazingly overelaborate. And so very american. Give me footie any day

No thats ben arfa

And unfortunately Ramirez too

#prayforMLG

He barely touched the ball To anyone that knows the game its a foul and showed plenty of intent

He doesnt want to move south anyway

Surprise

I imagine its because there is nobody available for the money we are willing to spend considering we will need to find around that level for wages and transfer fees for Bertrand, Toby and Elia aswell as contractual terms for Clyne, Morgan, Jay potentially. Possibility of a loan but there noone available with any pedigree

We have a good feeling in and around the club right now, so its not worth the risk for me. Yes he has talent in there somewhere, yes we need a striker. But we dont need a player that seems to struggle to integrate into any sort of social situation.

After watching a few obligatory youtube vids Im not massively impressed. Not what we need right now IMO

Maybe, I judge it by how Id react to the challenge and Id probably have got up and nutted him Poor challenge for me, think its known as a leveller

Stunning Kate riley also a personal favourite

Yeah, agree that a 3 game ban is harsh but I suppose it is what it is. It was daft. And an obvious red. What annoys me is if he wanted to win the ball he would've done it properly, for me, it looks like he has tried harder ensuring barrow feels the follow through which makes him almost miss the ball

Cork was better yes but realistically we have two of the best DMs in the league with Toby, Reed, Davis and even JWP that can play there if required so Im not too much panic If anything its a GK or Pellè injury that will shaft us

Hopefully, worryingly he got nowhere near the low crosses either, what worried me most yesterday was that we put enough decent crosses into the box and nobody got anywhere near them

He was but him and elia still took up much of the same positions
