Barry said the reason he left was because he couldn't see it realistic winning trophies at Villa. I don't want that happening again. We need to see constant progression and as fans never settle for mediocrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn’t a club in the country that could prevent their players from moving to City. Edited March 10, 2021 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then we needed coinage and if they were here now with our current Owners or I'll put it in better words if we had our Owners back then I doubt Barry or Milner would of been sold. Big clubs did what big clubs did back then and they would take advantage of everyone elsees misfortune. The crap those clubs were going through couldn't stop such moves because clubs just needed the money. Nowa days there are so many rich Owners in this league it's much easier to tell big clubs to do one and they have not the power to bully there way into deals as they did a decade and more ago. Put it simply our Owners coming in gave us F off power or Grealish would of gone faster than lightning for peanuts. Much easier to be a big boy when you have the money to back up your big boy words against the big boys and I do not believe any club could back NSWE into a corner and bully them into selling anyone they don't want to sell. Our Owners don't need the money, I'd go as far as to say they are bored and want ways to spend it, they have that much of it.

brommy Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Has the chance to draw level with Ederson on 15 PL clean sheets. From my Villa experience, this almost guarantees conceding on Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallisFrizz Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I’m watching City v Southampton, a game where Ederson is actually having to do some work for once and not looking that special...Martinez deserves that golden glove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) Slightly off topic but I sent Emi a tweet on Saturday to congratulate him on another clean sheet and a fantastic performance. He actually tweeted me back to say thanks! Just when you thought you couldn’t love the man any more! He is the second most important player at the club in my view. We must do everything to keep him for as long as we can. He is a superstar. Edited March 10, 2021 by M_Afro 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially too far from the action. Yeah thought of him as well after I typed it to be fair. Between him and Tyrone, or Captain/Vice Captain combo. As you say, Tyrone will have more influence all over the pitch as he is vocal and involved all over. It's just Emis attitude and leadership qualities I'm extremely impressed by.

I agree but people are worried about him leaving this summer and i just can't see it. If next season there's no progression, then that's a worry for the following summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 The think that annoyed me most about Friday is the fact that Emi was denied another clean sheet. Are there any stats around how many points a goalkeeper has earned his team? I know it would have to be very subjective but it would be interesting to see how much difference he has made to us.

Yeah I'd say he's earned us a crazy amount of points this season, I'd love to see more stats being recorded but all people look at really are goals and assists. I'd go as far to say Martinez is our version of Schmeichel from UTD in the 90s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go as far to say Martinez is our version of Schmeichel from UTD in the 90s. Good analogy. He was immense for them. I’ve always found it strange the way that the role of gk is so often diminished. “We’d have won easy if it wasn’t for your gk!”. It’s almost as though some people do not consider the gk as being an integral part of the team. You never hear “We’d have beaten you easily if your striker hadn’t scored a hat trick!” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Off the top of my mind he won us at least two points in first match by saving the penalty as the other week showed no certainty we'd have won even v 10 if we'd gone behind from the penalty. 0-0 at Brighton is another obvious one as is the 1-0 at Southampton when he made two incredible saves last minutes. Wolves away last he made that brilliant stop b Dendoncker with 10 minutes left so arguably 3 points there. 8-10 points I think but then I don't think Heaton or Steer would've let all the shots in that Emi has faced as they're decent keepers aswell.
