HawK

Silver lining, might be the kick up the arse the squad needs and removes any sense of complacency that might have seeped in with the result at Brentford.

But.. but.. we've won 5 in a row... Seriously, Targett must be wondering what on earth has to happen for him to get a game right now.

Our best player atm

If I had to give a constructive word about our play when we have the ball, it's ponderous. We're bereft of one-touch play, everyone has to receive the ball then look about and find a pass, it's so slow. Every extra couple of seconds lets Villa reset and close down options. Need more much off-the-ball effort from Gordon and Murphy, making runs inside to open up the wings and Isak coming in deep to drag defenders out of position.

Hoping for a Howe-hairdryer at half time to get us going, we're used to so much better than this.

Martinez is great at finding an open man under pressure, great distribution.

Where's this?

We're rushing too much in possession, we need to slow this right down and hold on to the ball and knock it about for a bit.

Emery is the worst manager for Howe to face, he's the PL's expert at setting up vs Atlético and had done for years in La Liga, and there's a lot of similarities between our games.

Of course, but he's been poor in every one.

How many bad games in a row must Burn have before Targett gets a chance. Feels like he's been poor since Christmas.

Needs that long for the signal to get from his eyes to his feet.

Burned

One of my favourite seasons supporting this club, have the banana top with Enriqué on the back

Isak's good, Isak's good... Alexander Isak's good.

Eboneezer Goode, Isak's Good... shame the whole thing is a rap other than the chorus or there might be something to hang that chant on.

Forrest are my second favourite team, have taken Colback, Shelvey and Wood off of us. It's like adding an extra manager in FM who just buys all your hard-to-shift players.

"Going to watch the Harry Potter films again and see Shelvey get destroyed by a 10 year old and his ginger friend."

He's been our MOTM today

You really don't like Pope do you

I think I got Baptiste and the other guy mixed up, not my fault, I just followed what the commentator said. They've been awful tbf.

Baptiste a Lebron knock-off, guy looks eerily similar

What a fucking strike

Title change por favor
