Match Thread | Aston Villa vs Man City (06/12/23)

He forced the move. There was not much pep could have done. He tried to convince him that he’d get more PT but ultimately couldn’t. Still got 45 mil for him and it’s not like he’s set the world on fire. He was a good player that ultimately wasn’t good enough. I’d rather have a Doug Luis back with us or Lavia

Based on what...? He was the MOTM in the Super Cup weeks prior to being sold.

Amazing stat. Imagine if we had signed two good midfielders this summer instead of Nunes/Kovacic. Would we at least have some options on the bench or wouldn't be forced to start a youth player and a CB in midfield. Our poor summer window is hurting us.

No subs lol

Surprised? We all know Pep by now

 

[Josh_D]

Predicted that they’d come out the same, and Pep possibly giving them some time before changing it. Hope it goes that way.

Johnny Boulders looks a lot better in a settled defence……not as good as people think

Of course he does, he's been asked to play the same role in the same shit formaiton that has made Rodri look like average. What does Pep expect if Rodri struggles in it? Fucking daft

Could we, for a change, be the beneficiaries of a smash and grab, rather than the victims?

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

COYB. Lets hope it's Vila who rue their bag of missed first half chances today. That would be a nice change.

 

[RayCTID]

It’s not over yet!

We can easily do what teams do regularly to us and nick something against the run of play

 

[Bigga]

Alvarez is a hugely capable striker.We are setting up zero for Haaland currently.

Indeed.

It's weird how many are blaming the outer players when it's the mid causing the imbalance of the team!!

I think we need to look at the transfer market in January, box to box midfielder desperately needed

Do we just walk into Tesco and ask for one?
