Aston Villa banter 2

Good result but not a great performance however that said certain positives did come out of it. Firstly what a relief to see Tielemans back in the side we were more creative in the minutes he was on the pitch than the previous 60 odd minutes. Secondly Bogarde gets better every time I see him at 21 he could be part of our midfield for years to come. However on the debit side Lindelof at right back is poor he is one paced and offers nothing going forward and I'm sorry Lindelof and Guessand on the right hand side will cost us big time if deployed against stronger opposition.

The one thing which I think is a definite is we won't be signing Harvey Elliott if he can't get into the starting XI against Maccabi then I don't see him starting at all and if I'm honest I don't understand why, he is definitely a better player than Guessand and Sancho yet he can't get a start but Unai must have his reasons.

Absolutely dreadful. Shocking team selection and those that are playing are not putting anything like a performance.
Be lucky to get a draw out of this.
Surely wholesale changes for the 2nd half.

74, not for the first time a slow boring half, Guessand is probably one of our worst signings for the money. Sancho does very little. Hopefully we will pick up in the second half and put the game out of reach.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Not sure why your laughing Daz this has being a shocking performance, we had 3 or 4 good moves in the whole game and luckily we got 2 goals, this team we are playing against are 1 of the worst teams I’ve ever watched play and we simply can’t open them up and all, all this backwards play is horrible

Daz with the greatest of respect the points made by the chaps above yours are spot on. Really pedestrian performance overall, went in 1 up quite fortunately.
Rightly been pointed out that Guessand is miles off it in terms of quality we need and he’s cost us £27m to boot. Sancho another perplexing signing who personally I’ve never been a fan of and the Elliot signing is a joke. The manager who in my opinion has plenty of credit in the bank still must take responsibility for the recruitment along with Mr Monchi who has now parted ways, dummies were spat regarding the PSR situation pre season but we really haven’t helped ourselves with the recruitment.


Pointing out flaws or concerns which have substance don’t make people less of a fan or fickle etc.
Form has picked up overall granted and we’ve put some decent performances in, particularly City but there are still some glaringly obvious issues that need to be addressed for us to be challenging for Europe via the league this season.
3 points is a positive in what was a really strange event overall with all the nonsense that came with the fixture.
One huge positive was the return of Youri who’s creativity and ability to pick penetrating early forward passes will benefit us massively going into the run in up to Christmas.

What on earth do you expect? We've dominated the game, granted they've had a good chance but come on. the game was always going to be scrappy given the backdrop. On to Sunday.job done tonight!

And with the greatest respect to you Dan where are their posts when we win? No where to be seen as per, Always moaning always playing the cry wolf card when someone confronts them about it.We won a game that had more significance off it than on it against a team that wanted to prove a big point .Yes granted wasn't pretty but we bloody won what more do they want.

Whack I was laughing because as soon as they typed we scored that's why!

06 Nov 2025 20:38:20
Guessand is awful how is he a professional footballer like babi on ice clueless player can't have a winger who offers nothing attacking wise bring back Bailey

06 Nov 2025 20:32:59
25 minutes in and this is far too slow.
Easy for Macabi to play with the ball in front of them and slow passes. It's like watching my walking football.
Not unhappy I decided not travel from the SouthWest for this.

Hope I'm wrong and it doesn't happen, but wouldn't be surprised if they get the game cancelled . Reports that three Palestinian support groups, two Jewish groups, plus the local community plus not sure about Tommy Robinson crew . Hopefully everything goes off peacefully. UTV

If the amount of police that’s been mentioned and we’re playing a team with no away fans in the ground then peacefully isn’t a word that’s going to be used in the press Friday morning. The way I’m feeling about it now is that it should be called off for the safety of our fans, players, staff

If any of these politicians show their faces at Villa on Thursday, they should all including Corbyn, be arrested for inciting trouble . If any normal citizen was all over Facebook doing the same I'm sure they would be . UTV
