You would say that There's a breed on here who want to engage in relentless OTT bed pissing then get salty when it's pointed out to them how ridiculous they sound. More shaming pls. It's the only chance we have of making the forum bearable after any setback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) 12 hours ago, Nobody said: Feel like the absolute shit show of the summer isn't talked about anywhere near enough. Eddie likes to bed his new players in and work in a system. We had literally no pre season with our current squad, and he had to chuck Woltemade straight in. Ratboy fucked so much more than just leaving, he literally ruined our entire preparation for the season. Wissa's injury was absolutely killer as well, he was meant to be the sure thing signing to bridge the gap. Edited January 22 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very different starting points between the two clubs tbf. When our takeover happened most of the squad needed an overhaul and we had no saleable assets, at that time Villa already had half of the best players they still have now.

Lush Vlad Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 10 hours ago, duo said: I didn't understand not taking Bruno off sooner as he could barely move - but other than that was the perfect night. Plenty of players run off knocks or when you roll your ankle, hyperextend your knee etc. You have physios that can give their opinion. But if Bruno said he was ok to continue and wanted to test it, then there's not much more Howe could do on that situation. Perhaps he then should have got him off sooner after that. As he clearly wasn't right. But that's also on Bruno for not going down or getting the ball out of play so that the sub could be made. You have to admire him wanting to continue. But it's also daft on his part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) I'm quietly optimistic for Villa. They have to travel to Turkey today and have one less recovery day. We also have a good record at home against them. Also Kamara injury feels important for them. Will feel better if Bruno wasn't injured but I'm hopeful. It's the upcoming away fixtures I'm less confident for. But if we just go one game at a time like Eddie always likes to do then we can hopefully get through it without too much damage.

Yeah I really fancy us vs Villa, they seem to be wobbling at exactly the right time for us too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggys First Goal Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 This is how you end up ill, working yourself into the ground. Eddie, I love you.

Groundhog63 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I think him having to graft all the hours God sends just to have his team escape relegation, qualify for the Champions League (twice) and win a trophy, is a sign of his limitations. I mean, people on here been telling me how being a CL & PL Manager is......checks notes......a piece of piss 😉 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Par for us has been 7th/8th for some time. Kieran Maguire or someone on Twitter will have squad cost table somewhere. But wages matter more than squad cost. Financially £60m on Havertz is a level above £55m on Elanga due to the wages. The more pertinent point is there's a fairly big gap between our wage bill and the level below. Which gives us a major advantage over the field if we are not in Europe. Being in Europe and bottom of that top 8 shows you what a tough challenge we have being competitive on all fronts. We are going to play 15/16 top level games more than the majority of the PL, that's going to cost us points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
