Here we go

I assume that the last round of friendlies before the WC would indicate if he gets a chance. Injuries could always open the door. Very competitive in the middle of the park for Brazil.

Hope Bruno is in the ear of Tite. He’d fully deserve a call up, regardless if he plays or not.

I stopped listening to that show purely due to Glendenning.

This article is fucking HILARIOUS in retrospect https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10192591/Steven-Gerrard-Aston-Villa-perfect-fit-Newcastle-blew-chance-appointing-him.html

I had a browse of some of the Everton message boards and they were all of the opinion Lampard had made a positive difference to the team and the main issue is lack of personnel. Gerrard on the other hand seems to been seen as Bruce Redux, hard to find a single positive opinion on him on Villa Talk.

We defend as a team these days and the difference is night and day. Big Joe has been key to that. We disrupt so well in midfield it takes so much pressure of the lads at the back. Confidence begets confidence.

PSG and Bayern making a mockery of their respective leagues at the weekend.

He was basically an personal appointment by Purslow who is the former Liverpool CEO and now in that position at Villa. Old boys network style appointment. Hopefully it means they persevere with him way longer than they should. The press are doing their part, not a single article about him being under pressure. He wasn’t considered by us as he refused complete an interview and just wanted to be headhunted.

Or the board refusing to back what is increasingly looking like a losing horse.

The papers seem to be going with the red card reversal being controversial.

Better goal record than when Richarlison when he was at Watford. He’ll benefit from playing in Eddies system and will get more goal chances. Hope it gets done. He’ll thrive on those Bruno balls!

Loved the quote in Howes interview about what he said to him at full time ‘you play like that every week and all your career aspirations will come true’

Give ASM the freedom of the Metrocentre.

Funny pen run ups?

Only time I’ve really seen him was vs us at home last year and he didn’t get a sniff.

Deafening silence from the assorted press on Gerrard this morning.

Makes absolutely zero sense for that to be us. Possibly Villa?

Bundesliga season over. That’s some collapse mind, no red card either.

The chairman at Villa is his mate and he’s got Bruce-esque support from the punditry community. I think he’ll be kept on longer than advisable. Players and unreasonable expectations from Villa fans will be to blame.
