Garcia going off is a blow

how have we got about five players at the back post and their only one has a free header

So composed.

no way

this game is far too big for Elanga

clear yellow that, took a second cynical swipe

Thiaw loves a slip

every time you get to see the front rows on a throw in or something it's very obvious that it's full of people who aren't usually there just watching it through their phones

it's a miracle Villa are in the top half tbh. They're a worse side than Forest.

You don't even have to be a good finisher to play up front in this team. We create so many tap-in chances as long as you are elite at being in the right place at the right time. His goal yesterday was case in point of that. I'm not sure any of our other strikers get there. It could work really well on the face of it. As with everything it'll be better when Bruno's back too and you get more reliable penetrative passes like Tino's surprisingly good one yesterday. I just really want to see him do perform well in a 3pm KO against, ie, Fulham before I fully embrace him as a player.

yeah, do mostly agree with this. Would only add that in a lot of the losses have been defined by an individual defensive/goalkeeping error but there was no sign of that yesterday.

None of these above us are good teams. It's a tricky one. I'd fancy us if we get knocked out of the CL, but also fuck that.

The whole performance was only possible thanks to him. He pressed the entire backline by himself. Reminded me of when Alexis Sanchez started playing up front for Wenger's Arsenal.

GET THE FUCK IN MAN

man, Gordon has been magnificent

what a detestable set of cunts this lot are . Every time it pans to one of them it's a new type of cunt.

he's usually very effective at winning fouls/penalties tbf

absolute cunt challenge from Delap, fucking hell

So are we mostly tbh

really impressive. One man pressing machine and then he's filling in gaps and running back when Willock can't get back too.

huh, Woltemade is actually being reffed fairly for once

Ramsdale has done ok on crosses

AG is working insanely hard

Not for UEFA’s FFP though. Any related party transfer income doesn’t count at all. It’s the PL’s where there’s a fair market value check on them iirc .

Tel is absolutely terrible.
