Unfortunately not.

Yesssss!!!! Let’s kick on now. They suckerpunched us. Lets get on and win it.

Will everyone grow a pair of balls? There are 80 minutes left. Christ.

Ffs

He will, wont he. It’s depressingly predictable.
-
Win this 2-0 and Newcastle 2-0 and we’re joint top of the league with Spuds. That is not impossible stuff. Whether we will or not......
-
Ahem.. Adama
-
Yeah, think Rico is a bit harsh. I’d throw Gary Charles into the mix for full back. He was rubbish.
-
Let’s hope Antonio gets a niggle, cos he’s quality. I can see another shootout. 4-3 Villa
-
Yeah, where’s this referee bias toward top of the table clubs? That should be us dammit. I feel like we paid for a boots meal deal, but they only let us have the lentil crisps. I would have thought of a better analogy but i’m pretty hungry.
-
Cripes.
-
You can’t seriously think we’re in the mix to go down though, surely. We could have gone top tonight. We win our game in hand comfortably and get some favours we could be second.
-
Wow, is that right? That’s crazy bad.
-
Nah, it’s a good metric, perhaps the best available. You just have to figure out what it’s telling you about your team. Today as a one off it shows what I think was fairly obvious- that our forwards (ahem Trez) didn’t take our chances, but that we created enough chances to win. Similarly it shows that Brighton were not only clinical, but as they not only met but exceeded their xG, probably a bit lucky.
-
Lamptey is quality, regardless of the card(s).
-
Also, I think it’s pretty clear that we really need Ross
-
Just like the Soton game, i’d be willing to bet that our xG today was much higher than theirs.
-
Still feel like we’ll get at least a draw here.
-
Come on!!!! We can hammer these buggers now.
-
Am I watching the same game as some of you? Defensively poor and unable to finish, but we’ve been the better side overall. 1-1 would have been harsh imo. A couple of decent finishes and we’d be laughing. Cos of errors at the back we’re one down. We score early doors in the second half and we’ll win this 3-1
-
We all thought he was going to be the nineties equivalent of Messi.
-
I’m old enough to remember a Lamptey in the Villa squad.

The RJW63 Official Jack Grealish Appreciation Thread

Wow, that is a great article. Even as a Villa fan I’m astonished by how he’s progressed. We are blessed with a world footballer. He’s tearing up the stats. Highest in the league in expected assists. Most forward carries. Etc etc. This is the Premier League! Man United must be crazy to think they could get him, even if he wanted to leave. If he does go in the future, it will be to Madrid or Barca. -
Ashamed to say it, but I was quite down with the idea when it was put forward. Sometimes I can use a right good ass kicking, i’ll tell you.

You are right there. Still think we were rubbish against Leeds, but Southampton’s xG showed they were crazy lucky. All set pieces, which we should be able to deal with. I reckon we’ll do better against the good sides this season. The ones that don't sit back, and that allow us to counter. Wouldn’t surprise me if we have a season of incredible results, followed by some real head scratchers.
