Same last season with going off to Argentina. ”Loves the club” my arse. How dare he....take a few days to go back to his country to partake in celebrations after winning the greatest prize in football? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume he isnt actually fit/mentally ready or something, why do we automatically blame Emery for not picking him?, there must be a good reason!?!? I don’t think people are. Quite the opposite in fact. As another poster suggested, he’s gonna get some stick for not playing today if we lose, especially as they have two starters from the same match playing. It’s inexcusable he isn’t in goal today. Absolutely inexcusable. The lads who made that banner for the Holte really want to have a rethink. It’s one thing having a goalkeeper who won the World Cup, but it’s another having one who is too much of a prick to get back in time in a fit state to start and one who has probably cost us 2-6 points in the games he’s missed. Fuming about this. Feels like we’re completely handicapped going into this match. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good luck if a 37 year old is keeping him out. It doesn't surprise me, if I'm honest.......but I don't know the real reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosnichs Muller corner Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I think Emery alluded pre-Liverpool that Martinez was likely to miss the 2 games. Although not my ideal preference I think Olson will benefit with game time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman22 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Such a defensive line up from Spurs. Five at the back and two defensive midfielders. We need to get on the front foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did. It's fine. You can swallow missing one game, but two games missed is poor i think, it is bordering unprofessional during a season to miss two games not through suspension, or injury or fatigue, but for partying. One okay it's a world cup. Not two. Not when the club is paying you salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get on the front foot. they will try to hit us on the break with Son's pace just like they did last time. I reckon Conte thinks that if they can be defensively strong, Son's pace and Kane's pro diving in the box will win them the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanBalaban Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 17 minutes ago, Demitri_C said: Im sorry but even a 50% emi is better than olsen. He cant comannd his box , he panics and makes our defence panic because of this. Emi at least reassures and has composure. This is going to be a very long afternoon I don't disagree either, so why do you think Emery - a man who has proven to know what he's doing when it comes to this management lark - has picked Olson?

CLARETANDBLUEFOXY Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Romero plays for Spurs. Martinez doesn’t play for us. Make it make sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaParkAvenue Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Feels like yesterday when I said we desperately need a new backup keeper? I’m more surprised Emi is back in the country already, wasn’t expecting him ro return before Easter. For him to get mentally ready could take a really long time though. Today I guess we’ll press high and leave plenty of space behind for Spurs to counter attack, like when we got smashed 4-0 last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StewieGriffin Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 10 minutes ago, choffer said: I just caught three minutes of 5Live where they were discussing how licking Olsen was a clear sign that Unai had made his decision as to who the number 1 at villa was going forward. They were unanimous that it was because of Emi’s “antics” at the World Cup. Just as they were drawing the conversation to a close, they got an update with a quote from Emery saying it was always the plan not to throw Emi straight back in. A bit like the day we appointed Emery - 10 minutes of "I don't think they'll attract a top calibre coach" interrupted by the host announcing who we'd appointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted January 1, 2023 Moderator Share Posted January 1, 2023 This eleven created enough chances to have got something out of Liverpool - if we're a bit more clinical and a little more measured there's no reason we shouldn't be well in this game. We'll need to defend set pieces well to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
