If we can stay in the mix until the window opens, I'm hoping we have learnt our lesson and know who we need to (Miggy,Wilson, dubz) move on and use whatever psr bollocks allows

You’d hope Almiron will be more open to a move now considering how little he has played.

I think Villa now see how fucking brutal a PL/CL campagin can be and injuries/ squad depth makes or breaks you 

I just don't think Villa have clicked this season, much like us until the last few games. They have been struggling with trying to fit all of their best players into the starting eleven. They were lucky to beat both Everton and Wolves at home and only took a point at Ipswich. They did look much better against Liverpool, despite the loss. 

 

This time last year we were at Bournemouth having just come back from Dortmund with no striker, two keepers, Ritchie, Parkinson and Alex Murphy on the bench. As far as I'm aware Villa currently have four injured, three of which are due back next game.

 

Champions League and the travel it involves does take it out of you, but they've had a relatively easy set of games so far (Bayern aside) and certainly haven't the injury issues we had. Looking back, Eddie performed wonders last year.

The games we were playing last season compared to the fixture lists this time around make it seem like we were in a completely different competition.

I am fixated on the Liverpool game. Under the lights at SJP only three days after they play City at home, which is going to be billed as a title decider. We play on the Saturday, so an extra day of rest. Midweek before that they play Real Madrid. Three days after we play them they have Everton away. 

 

It's an incredible opportunity to beat them and it will be even better if we can take six points off West Ham and Palace.

That, most definitely, is the spirit.

3-0 at half time, and then a certain Uruguayan striker comes on. We all know what happens next.

I feel optimistic about a top four place. The last three games haven't been dazzling, but the players have shown a certain faith in one another and the system that they've been asked to play which augurs well. I get the sense that we can now pick up points from anywhere.
