seems to take a real leadership role that nobody else (not even dunk) is really offering, seems to be manager's voice out on the pitch. wonder if those qualities are something we'll be looking for with regards to transfer activity

the thing with having a player who doesn't really run or track back up front is that it can work, but when the ball comes into them, it has to stick, they have to be able to hold it up or take it down with a decent touch. didn't see either of those things from undav today. furthermore I don't...

now I'm absolutely not saying solly march isn't good enough, far from it, and I don't want this thread to even go down that avenue. BUT, I still maintain that we need another option on the right. seemed Solly was constantly doubled up on, all day, and got very little change out of the defence...

well look at who we've got attacking corners. dunk and webster (colwill today), sometimes veltman, and that's pretty much it. they're all aerially dominant but struggle actually getting it on target. there's basically no other aerial threat in the team. when you're looking to hit two, maximum...

look I'm sure stat brother will be along in a minute with a customary reminder about the amex being a reactive crowd which explains exactly why it went so quiet once villa took the lead

today was certainly one of his more chaotic games

he allowed martinez far too much leniency before booking him, one he started so did the rest of them. also really not sure that foul by trossard before he scored was actually a foul, seemed very soft.

what I will say I suppose you can understand why this villa team got a result against city. dirty, underhand tactics to delay the game as much as possible will always disrupt teams who like to play with high possession and intricate moves

there you go. clear as f***ing day

he totally lost control of the game. applied nowhere near enough added time after the 8 had elapsed, also seemed very beholden to villa throwing themselves on the floor and adding a few rolls for good measure

penalty just one of a litany of dubious calls. one consistet theme of chris kavanagh's officiating that I have noticed is that every game seems to invariably descend into chaos. exudes all the control of a bald tyre

does the referee not understand the phrase 'minimum of 8 minutes'?

exactly the same situation as the pen we did get a Fulham, player goes to clear, wallops the player instead. absolutely mindboggling

WTF???

we're missing mitoma for sure. villa winning a lot of the 1v1s out wide at the moment, especially on the right. maybe lamptey at some stage

beautiful pass from sanchez

enciso evidently still very raw

again not the smartest move from dunk but he definitely dived before the contact actually came

he's on £16,000 a week according to this, which doesn't seem that unlikely given he's a young academy player from a club that don't really pay insane wages https://salarysport.com/football/liga-nos/sport-lisboa-e-benfica/ surely we could find some sort of compromise between there and £100,000

sorry to be a pendant but there's something like £5 million differece between £40 million and €40 million. could easily see us managing something like €32 (£28) million up front rising to €40 (£35) million with add-ons. not that I could see us getting involved in a bidding war, but I'm pretty...
