Granted we've had a stinker with the disallowed goal BUT that was absolutely horrendous and we deserved nothing out the game.

A tough day. Similar emotions to the Cup semi against Palace. Hard to stand back with perspective when you feel really cheesed off.
The reality is, in the time Emery has led Villa we are much improved and competitive across multiple competitions. We've got into the top 7 three seasons running, qualified for Europe three seasons running and got to Cup semi finals.
What we are lacking is the ability to 9 times out of 10 win the games that matter (like today) .
Be interesting to see the ins and outs over the Summer. The future is still bright.

15th goal from set pieces this season in the league, saw Trinity74 having a pop at him last week amongst others.
Not too shabby I'd say

Been a decent campaign with some highs and as good as PSG are I feel quite disappointed with a few of our players who quite frankly froze on the big stage.
I thought our midfield three who simply had to show some composure everytime we had the ball and try and tick us to give us any chance were abysmal in possession tonight and treated the ball like a hot potato when they reluctantly received it.
The amount of times we blindly hooked the ball round the corner or gave simple 5 yard balls away was criminal and we allowed PSG to have the football at will.
Yes the players worked hard off the ball but on it we could and should have done so much more.
We now have to be more expensive next week and as we've all just witnessed that isn't going to end well for us with the players they have.

Disagree there. Our midfield had no outlet ball, Rashford couldn't keep the ball and had no runners. PSG did the same to Liverpool. Let's hope they don't travel well and we get the 1st goal. Villa Park will rock and we'll see if they can keep us out.

Personally, I'd say a 'decent campaign' is underestimating how far we've gone in the world's most elite football tournament.
It's a lovely thought to think that we'd go away to PSG and be composed and expansive, but that's just not living in the real world. They are miles ahead of us and the only way we're going to get past them is to play like Inter did under Mourinho.which is what we tried to do and I would argue did relatively well until the last minute third goal.
We'll be under just as much pressure at home, but with the fans behind us, a good dose of luck and a great performance we still have a slight chance, but even if we lose this is a massive learning experience and great achievement.
We've reached a level that we didn't expect to this early and this will show our ambitious owners the gap we need to bridge. An important evolutionary step and great experience for our younger players to learn from.
I'm as frustrated as the next fan and we can split hairs about individual moments, but in the big picture this was par for the course but if used right, could be a subtle yet defining moment of the next decade for our great club.

It’s been an incredible campaign. It was above decent just to qualify…

Remember we ripped apart last seasons great man city side, so we can do that to anyone. Utv

Genuinely how does Konsa avoid being scrutinised by fans, he's been absolutely abysmal this season.
That for their first goal is all him and his refusal to go and engage the football, which appears a theme by the way.
Waving his arms around after, it's his place that's most vulnerable for me at that CB position.
Much rather see Pau and Mings in there.

Tbf fair dan all the bck 4 has been awfull can't say what i want to say would get banned lol

We’ve been horrendous as a defensive unit this season, although I do think Digne comes out the first half the season with credit.
My point is I see Pau, Carlos, Cash, Mings, Digne regularly slaughtered but Konsa gets a free pass and he’s a huge issue.
VVD syndrome without the ability, never wants to engage, always looking for a foul, not great on the ball and exposed by the long ball regular.

Ref a previous post or reply mentioning Bogarde not being good enough, those who called me out surely you see it now
1.) 14 Sep 2024 19:55:32
If you’re talking about Lamare, he probably should have gone back out on loan for another season. If you’re talking about Dirk, surely he twice won the BAFTA for Best Actor in a Leading Role and was knighted in 1992 and therefore qualifies as a national treasure ?
23 Aug 2024 19:32:54
Sterling had one less goal/assist than Diaby last season. Our fans deemed Diaby a quality signing but Sterling is deemed not good enough for us?
19 Aug 2024 18:24:05
Well Felix is off to Chelsea
24 Jul 2024 03:16:53
Let’s be honest Diaby was poor last season, throw the stats at me all you want but I watch football with my eyes and he looked lost most of the time.
I’d say Emery and co have seen we can make a profit and took it and ran. Diabys stats suggest he was a top performer last season and there would be plenty more sniffing round him if that was the case.
Great but of business for me
19 May 2023 23:04:50
The job emery has done is a double-edged sword, yes he's proven the owners have made the correct decision.
But as the astute businessmen our owners are they may well be looking saying hold on unai that £150m you wanted when you joined in November can go on ice here's £75m as you've took this group from 17th to potentially Europe so it can't all be bad from a playing staff perspective.
Not saying that's what's going to happen but let's not all hang our hats on a war chest for a complete overhaul

2 points
A. We will never get him in a million years
B. We'd all love him at the club if he signed, pivotal part of a world Cup winning team
Anyone that says he's not for us is deluded

Just to address RK point regarding Moyes. Since Moyes took charge of Everton last season they finished 9th in the league table, level points with Everton and only 3 less points than ourselves in that time. i'm not saying Everton are going to finish above us etc but to dismiss a very crude manager in Moyes who's won a recent European trophy and increased Evertons attacking output and goals by double is a bit short sighted. You mock with the Fellaini comment but he took the likes of Fellaini who became a massive threat in the prem, a regular in a very good Belgium team and got a move to utd off the back of being managed by Moyes.
30 Jun 2025 23:34:26
So as I've been saying for a long time the way we are being ran is not sustainable. We will run out of things to sell to ourselves a lot quicker than Chelsea that I can assure you.
30 Jun 2025 15:45:18
Wouldn't say the stories of us being in danger were bs considering we've pulled a Chelsea and sold the women's team to ourselves.
Tells me there clearly was danger and allegedly a fines still imminent and we have committed to reducing yhe wage bill significantly.
Id say there was danger and still is to a degree over the next season or two.
10 May 2025 22:03:20
Good 1-0 win eh
04 May 2025 12:08:10
Think what hasn't helped Watkins is coming out in the media about how angry he was questioning not playing and has turned in poor performances since.
