I know no. of games do have a great impact, but apparently, we conceded most goals in 2026 among all the Europe top leagues. Thats brutal

Fatigued

this season is genuinely insane. For your club, for Villa, for West Ham or Spurs if they relegate, etc. not bad for a football fans.

A bit unfair to the lad, many players dived like that.

Willock is better recently. Still prefer to cash in but if the offer is not good enough then he could stay

Rubbish? What?

You can tell Howe is furious

I know, but at the very least, rest Hall and Trippier.

Just to brainstorm, if Osula is the type of striker we want to get (just like how we play against Barca), does anyone have good suggestion? Does Adeyemi qualify?

I do wonder whether the club or the scouts have identified the next Isak. I hope they did, or else what are they doing since last summer?

The only one I want from Spurs right now is Bergvall. All the other players, whilst talented, have nothing but stinky attitude. Don’t think they would be a good fit for Eddie.

Murphy. I don’t think we can have a lot of possession anyway

Beating Barca is a strong statement to the world and a confidence vote for Eddie. No way any management would consider firing a manager that can beat Barca in ECL. Just do it. Top priority next game.

Hall and Joelinton must be given a full game rest. Without a full fit version we might as well give up the second leg. Especially Hall. He is a must for fighting against Yamal.

At least for Nick he could be our plan B and a new plan A ST if we really want to change. Wissa should be our plan A ST now WITHOUT changing our style or play. He should be able to break the lines like what Osula did last night. At the very least he should be subbed in for Osula. I really don’t understand what’s going on, may be Howe really written him off already

At the very least he has a good game against Barcelona.

Osula did well to break the line but he can do nothing more than that. Yea ok Nick is not that type of ST but how about Wissa? I mean in the end you still gotta find a way out to use a 55m striker. Thats the game he should thrive like Elanga.

I do agree that if we keep on conceding like this the next season then I suspect there’s something wrong with Thiaw which we can’t figure it out yet.

Whilst he is spot on tactically I think he should give Wissa a chance if we intended to play like this, keep on challenging the offside line the whole game. and also feel sorry for him, should be a historical win, ruined by Thiaw the last moment.

He need a full 90 mins rest next game. Please.

We really have mental issues. No way this keep on happening the whole season

I don’t think we can sustain our pressure after the 60 mins mark

I know we are going to be thrashed tonight but I can’t help but hope we can pull off a miracle to overturn our season

I think Howe always rush the players to back for important games tbh

That’s where I disagree most. You can’t blame the defending on a striker right? We are in fact scoring fine and it’s our defending that’s the problem I mean seriously after so many defending horror show, most of the posts are criticising Nick? What? No fucking way we ain’t doing defending or pressing properly just because of Nick? The one asked to play out of position?
