    Hope that cheating word removed at least gets a long suspension for his gambling shit.

    No, the assistant first said offside. The onfield ref changed the assistant’s call. VAR was not involved.
  3. VillaParkAvenue
    VAR wasn’t involved. The ref spoke with the assistant by the touchline, changed his decision and ruled it as a goal. He didn’t check the monitor either. VAR apparently didn’t believe the ref was obviously wrong so didn’t interfere.

    Man City don’t have the same control over games anymore. Numerical superiorities are harder to come by with Haaland.

    Really hope Watkins can be back soon. We missed his work so much when he went off today.

    He had a very entertaining tussle with Grealish the other week. Angry little gnome.

    We’ll definitely perform better against Arsenal and Man City than against Soton and Leicester. Because 1) we’re Villa, and 2) Emery is Emery.

    I understand we wanted to sit back and play on the counter after going ahead, but Leeds were extremely unlucky not to win that. We won’t get many points in coming games with performances like that.

    Really strange game. Villa lost all energy after the first goal and were pretty awful the whole game. We hardly won a single duel or 50/50 all night. Where is the energy? Usually I’m over the moon when we win but that was poor. Young, Kamara and Martinez good, the others less so.

    Bloody hell, Cucurella keeps getting worse every game. He’s a nightmare defensively, makes the wrong decisions, gives the ball away repeatedly and can’t even control a football. It’s like watching the Stevenage version of Leon Bailey trying his luck as wingback.

    Joao Felix starting for Chelsea already, interesting to see. Their squad is an expensive mess but Felix really is an amazing player on his day.

    At least the club has stayed true to this strategy!

    You’re right about him having a number of appearances when Gerrard was new, but he actually got pretty quickly in under Smith and appeared in 9 games when he’d just arrived, Feb-March 2021. Played mostly 10-20 minutes, started two games. Then he got his first injury early April.

    Still so very happy Gerrard wasn’t allowed to break the bank and sign Kalvin Phillips for us last summer.
  15. VillaParkAvenue
    Agree with this. Our weak spot in possession will be the CB’s, and to some extent Emi, even though it should get better when Carlos returns.
  16. VillaParkAvenue
    He's been one of the best players in Serie A this season, plays a huge part in Napoli's title chase.

    Arsenal let him go cheaply because Arteta was against him, 11m was never a fair valuation. Their fans seem angry about this now too.

    It’s true we on the outside will never know who pushed for which player. But in the corporate world, if you’re the boss you will be responsible even if the idea came from someone else. You are supposed to create an organization that works. If recruitment is poor over time, blame the sporting director. And maybe the one who hired him.

    Signing a 21 year old would be a radical change from the current policy, yes. Since the summer of 2021 Villa have signed 13 players (including loans). 1 was under 25. Average age of signings just over 28 years.

    Goalkeepers ... Most clubs have a number of goalkeepers over 30, just like we have. 30 or older this year are Martinez, Olsen, Steer, Young, Carlos, Mings, Digne, Coutinho, Ings
  21. VillaParkAvenue
    Villa have the second highest average squad age with 27,7 years. Not that many are over 30 that's true, there's 9 of them which seems a fairly average number or slightly above average.
  22. VillaParkAvenue
    Just checked how many players under the age of 25 each Premier League side has in their squad. Chelsea have 13, Arsenal 11, Man City 6, Liverpool 10, Man United 9. Most have between 6 and 10. Villa only have 2 players who are under 25 this summer.
  23. VillaParkAvenue
    Clubs funded by states (and a few others) move on to the ESL, feels like it has to happen quite soon.
  24. VillaParkAvenue
    Hodgson also retired, until Watford called.
  25. VillaParkAvenue
    I’m sure he could play a bit further down the pitch, but don’t really see the point. Pretty sure he can’t defend.
