of course, and they rely on individual players for quality rather than a good system, like us. i still don’t think there’s any harm in looking at what they do well. i think if we were stronger in midfield duels and were bailed out by our keeper a bit more we’d be in an infinitely better place.
sure, but it works for them. my overall point is that they always look very confident. as good as we have been at times this season, we haven’t really
looked overflowing with confidence like last season. think large parts of that is due to having to limp on due to injured, and therefore not...
we’re both very good teams but i always get annoyed watching villa because they’re everything we aren’t. incisive when they go forward, strong in midfield duels, very good at the nitty-gritty, and they have a keeper that bails them out when they do concede chances.

maybe in the summer, but i think we have to give a new signing, playing outside their home country for the first time in their career, longer than 6 months to prove their worth.
if RDZ expects more then fine, and i agree as he has been poor, but i don’t think it serves anyone well to get rid...
i’m sure our resolve will be tested, but i will be very peeved if we sell him in the summer. thankfully i think our hypothetical asking price would be astronomical, given what we paid for him in the first place
