Mate, read that and you’ll understand why that’s not bizarre to say

Not bizarre or is bizarre?

That's so weak from Diaby letting Rodri through like that

Shows lack of respect. 

Not at all. Pep has picked the best team for tonight.

Yes but this game week isn’t finished yet. We will have 7 left after tonight whilst they have 8. 
 

In a couple of weeks time the table will show they have 2 games in hand soon for a couple of weeks since they don’t play the weekend we play Arsenal. 

This is reminding me of the Aubameyang he's 28 until he's 29 argument.

All this talk of his discipline omits to note how young he is. He's only recently turned 20, he's still adapting and acclimatising to a foreign country where he's been challenged to step up and earn his stripes and we've seen (or heard about) a certain difficulty with this on his behalf.

He's young and frustrated, essentially - or has been.

Discipline will come as he learns the English game and composes himself with time.

Also - he's frustrated because he has drive, passion and is desperate to show what he can do. I'd much rather he's that way than the opposite.

Suppose these are most realistic but not the most exciting of lists!

 

Of those Estupinan is the best, been unlucky to be in a piss poor Brighton defence but he’s better at attacking than defending. For the role Moreno is supposed to play he’d be an upgrade and he’s worked with Unai before for a season. Brighton are the worst team to buy players from though, massively inflate their prices. 
 

I’d maybe take Robinson and Ait Nouri too, but they wouldn’t really elevate us to great heights. None of the others are good enough for Villa IMO. 

McGinn himself said Estupinan is "an absolute nightmare" to play against as well.

West Ham could have won if Antonio didn't finish like a toddler...one to discuss on his next podcast.

We all sound very defeatist. Its a major loss losing our key player for such an important game tomorrow. Man city have a makeshift defence. I don't know who they have available tomorrow. Last game Duran started he was dreadful. Let's hope he's better tomorrow. Need Ollie back for Brentford. 

You do, I'm not sure others did?

A Duran start always excites me! Hope he can do well tomorrow.

And ? Still think out of the two Digne is the better player also over a longer period of time, whereas Moreno had a good few months only… 

I just think it might be a little unfair to make a judgement call on who's the better of the two considering Moreno's issues this season.

It’s all about the business. Digne is the better player IMO and Miranda is 24 and has re-sale value and gives Sousa a season to develop. We cannot be sentimental and he’s not performed well enough for whatever factor but as long as we do not make a PSR / FFP loss on him I’d sell. 

Who did you think was better out of Moreno and Digne at the end of last season?

Oh his debut.

Wasn't his debut

He does have some very similar attributes to Ramsey in terms of carrying the ball forwards. 

Yeah he does. Rogers is just a bit more skilful.

No but is a few posters who it seems hate a few players as never provide any constructive criticism and when play well might put in a reluctant one line message

If you provide constructive criticism you arent a hater

Fair points and I agree

An absolute monster out there. The way he ate up the turf to make that slide tackle...unreal.

Why is it alway HATERS when people say a player isn't doing the business. Has anyone been calling for his extermination? For his family to be persecuted and locked up? 

It's perfectly possible to not rate a player, to say what you see without being a bloody HATER. The **** polarisation of the Internet boils my piss. 

Really is cringe when someone comes into a thread to call out the 'haters'. I'm sure the 'haters' probably commented in here anyway, the thread was several pages more after yesterday's game.

Hojberg has a year left in the summer 15m would get him, would be good back up/competition for Kamara.

He's not happy with reduced playing time apparently, and Kamara's simply better than him, so he'd be unhappy here as well.

Aston Villa fans joke that Youri Tielemans 'can't buy a start' for the club, but was scoring for free with Belgium, netting twice in the first-half against England

So not only do the DM pay people to lazily share tweets from random people, they also pay people to share tweets from random people that are complete nonsense.

'Can't buy a start' wtf...

9 cup finals. Here we go. Anyone else buzzing?

Better weather and lighter nights on the horizon, huge league run-in and a Conference League quarter-final, damn right I'm buzzing.

Was also told a story about how he approached one of our current players to have a chat who told him in no uncertain terms to f*** off. The player probably didn't realise who he was being approached by but that individual could never hold a torch to the bloke he dismissed. Sid hadn't forgotten that moment so it obviously still bothered him.

Can you share who that was? Maybe best for PM!

Yeah its just scare tactics in end but if Palace can get 45 million five years ago for a very limited Wan Bissaka then we should easily get similar for Cash

Some fans think we are punching above our weight and happy accept minimal bids for players

We won't get near 45m for Cash. Wan-Bissaka had a very good reputation when United bought him.
