The Prophet

The latest installment of Shrodinger's Whinge.

I've been banging on about it for ages, so I won't bore everyone with my ramblings again. But the capitalisation of the game has completely fucked it. Fans have less accessibility than ever, then when they do watch, have to endure a competition ran by a cartel of investment managers and have their match day experience ruined by referees. Burn it down and start again please.

It's at its lowest ebb for me.

I don't think Elanga is the problem here.

Give at a couple of ropey performances and they'll have him down as a write off

Elanga a £30 million player in today's market? Behave

Nice pick up for Villa. They have a lot of good options in midfield.

Comfortable home win: 3-0.

Impressive...

There haven't been many times over the last couple of seasons where I've thought we've struggled for creativity against a low block, but more options is always nice.

Honestly think we'll fine from a creativity PoV, but we need that second forward in.

Thought he was poor today, particularly after being brilliant on Monday.

He was very "meh". Linked up alright at times, but his movement and awareness looked well off it. It was a rarity, but when the ball was playing into the box, he was caught on his toes.

Don't think we NEED another midfielder, but it'd be nice.

Howay man. No doubt he's absolutely shafted us, but we're not winning all three of those games with him playing, granted our chances increase.

Hope he's alright, probably our biggest plus point in the final third today.

Very ordinary when he came on. Good to see him getting minutes though.

That was an absolute eye sore. Two sides who looked absolutely clueless in the final third, assisted by miserable conditions. That said. A solid point on the road, another clean sheet and the end of the transfer window in sight. Good to see Howe utilising the squad too, shame some of the fringe players didn't take their opportunity.

No issues with Miley coming on, the idea of having a bigger squad is that we use it.

Though they were pretty good v Liverpool.

Incredibly scrappy affair against two toothless looking sides. Empty the bench and switch to 4-3-3 at half time. I want to like Osula, I really do, buy he's been bobbins.

I see these scruffy cunts are still carrying last season's good fortune.

He might just be on the bench.

He'd have been on the bench here too tbf.
