How can Tammy not start after Ollies performances since he Tammy joined.
Bailey again, great!
-
Good to see Cash fit to start, and playing Mings also seems sensible in this one. No injuries to Martinez, please!
-
Come on West Midlands Village!

Come on West Midlands Village!
A Winning 11 Soccer link there.
-
Can quibble about one or two of the starters but essentially we should have enough to beat this shower.
COYL
-
Not sure what Tammy has to do to get a start. Watkins, urgh. Hope he plays a blinder today having said that.
Think it's going to be a tough afternoon.
-
Not sure what Tammy has to do to get a start.
He started the last game we played. He's hardly been cast out.
-
Win please.
-
Cashback 😎
-

Yes but I'd prefer Tammy to start. Think Watkins will be bullied by these cloggers.
-
I’m surprised it’s Bailey over Sancho who’s been looking very good lately. Glad Cash is back.
-
Massive game for Onana and Luiz. Three points, no excuses. I really hope Unai knows what he's doing today. A couple of early Villa goals, please followed by a second half onslaught would do very nicely.
-
Goals in short supply with that team.
-
Good to see Matty back, this is gonna be a tough match, going Tammy to get the winner in stoppage time,
-
Come on West Midlands Village!
Against Yorkshire Whites
-
Mings needs to quell Calvert-Lewin
-
Eight Dean Smith players starting. Perhaps we should employ him as head of recruitment. There is some serious longevity in those signings.
-
Dean Smith built this side, an huge legacy left for Emery to tune it.

The modern-day Vic Crowe.
-

Sancho hasn't been very good since maybe his first spell with Dortmund. His cameo v Leeds was gutless in the extreme earlier this season.
-
Dean Smith built this side, an huge legacy left for Emery to tune it.
Does that mean Dean should have been capable of what Unai has achieved ?
-
I rewatched The Damned United last night. I'm hoping it's Clough's Leeds rather than Revie's that turns up today.
-
Bench looking stronger.
-
I thought Sancho had started to look good recently so Bailey instead and Tammy Id have liked a start but just win Villa
-
A trickle would be appreciated.
-
Dean Smith's claret and blue army!!
-
Emery and Farke couldn't let go of their embrace.
-
Would have started Abrahams for this. Watkins needs a kick up the arse.
-
free kick too clever
-
Any trickles anywhere?
-
We don’t do possession or shots on goal like we used to. So unnecessarily passive.
-
Passive is not the way here.
-
Cack so far
-
15 mins, nothing.
-
I know we'll shoot again some sunny day.
-
I came in here to look for a trickle, saw the posts on how we’re playing so far, and am going to walk off to cook some pizzas
-
It’s quite shit that we don’t create enough chances now let alone get shots in. The early season xg geeks are being proven correct
-
Rubbish again so far.
-
We have to be bolder.
-
meh
-
Unable to watch this one, but I won't be surprised if we produce another scrappy performance.
It's not going to improve a great deal until we get our midfield back.

-
Dictating the tempo and controlling the game.. par for the course.
-
21 minutes and only one shot from Leeds.
El Crapico Mk2
-
Better last couple of minutes
-
how many times offside ollie
-
Why do we have one man with the ball and the other 9 stood watching!
-
sheeeeet Hoddle doesn't half spout some shite
-
I miss those lightning starts in the first 18 months of Emery when we regularly blew teams away in the first half
-
Flatter than a women who had big tits, gave birth, breast fed, lost weight, no tit...no tit flat.
-
This is lightning paced crap
-
sheeeeet Hoddle doesn't half spout some shite
I’m watching in Spanish. It’s glorious.
-
We are so passive. It’s not good enough.
-
We are so blunt and lacking in any real inventiveness. And we are highly predictable and easy to plan for.
-
I've got Tony Gale on stream...don't think we've ever won when he's on comms.
-
This is very much like the first few games of the season to be honest.
-
I love control but can we do quick, direct control?
-
Our dead balls are really poor today
-
We miss Youri badly
-
Maybe the plan is to bore Leeds to death and score past the rotting corpse of Darlow in 93rd min.
-
We miss Youri badly
And Kamara
And McGinn
-
I've got Tony Gale on stream...don't think we've ever won when he's on comms.
Will take a PM
-
Whatever the question is, the answer isn’t Bailey
-
As it stands we might not score the rest of this month.
-
nice if we can control the ball and stop losing the ball.
-
We miss Youri badly
And Kamara
And McGinn
Yep. It’s just Youri can really unlock a defence with his passing. Doug is too deep and isn’t as good as Youri.
-
As it stands we might not score the rest of the season.
FTFY
-
We aren’t going to make Champions League places unless we find a spark.
-
Fuck off
-
Goal leeds.
-
We are so passive. It’s not good enough.
I read a pre-match post on X, from VillaViews I think, saying it would be a war of attrition and then Tammy and Sancho would come on, and that it was understandable.
-
We are fucking shit at the moment!
-
Fuck sake
-
FFS.
-
Good free kick but....
-
They returned the Morgan goal.
-
I’m fucking sick to death of how fucking shit we have been in the last month or so.
-
Fuck off. You have to say, that's probably game over.
-
Oh FFS.
-
deserved that the plonkers
-
40 yarder no chance for Emi apparently
-
Our home form really has fallen off a cliff. Injuries, yes, but we are still better than this.
-
martinez tut tut
-
Nearly 2
-
They'll park the bus now for the rest of the game.
Great free-kick in fairness.
This is crap.
-
We're going to have to change our approach if we want to get anything out of this.
-
shocking so far
why play bailey , no idea
-
Cash is about the only player who has turned up.
-
I’m fucking sick to death of how fucking shit we have been in the last month or so.
👍
-
The goal
https://x.com/blitz_afc/status/2025232807895683118
-
Getting dicked on tactically.
-
almost 2-0. we are looking just like we did in the first month or so of the season. not a scooby how to create chances
-
No real surprise is it. We don't play with any energy or purpose and have to rely on the subs to bring any craft.
-
No way Martinez should be beaten from 30 yards. We’ve been totally shite.
-
We're properly shit without the three musketeers in the middle.
-
One player in the wall
You gonna take the fall
-
We're getting outplayed by this lot.
-
Bailey hiding from play. A tale as old as time.
-
Get Mings off at half time anyway. Rogers to left
-
No rush lads take your time
-
At this rate we will finish outside the CL spots via the league. We’ve been so shit for a while with the Newcastle game being an anomaly
-
We're properly shit without the three musketeers in the middle.
We are
-
I’m fucking sick to death of how fucking shit we have been in the last month or so.
👍
Aren't we all! :'(
-
It must be down to what they are told to do. They are definitely not told to go out there and hit the other side with a blitz
-
Luiz and Onana can't pick out Rogers or Buendia when they're both between the lines. Youri would of by now.
-
Currently 10th best. Even the food vendors are better than us so far.
-
This is truly awful.
-
We’re not getting Champions League unless we sort this out. We’re rubbish at the moment.
-
watkins having another mare
-
What the bloody hell are we doing? And what the bloody hell can we change???
-
We create so little it's shit.
-
I think we’ll do well to get Europa League tbh. No chance we’re holding onto top 5 with this unending poor form.
-
Remember when Luiz was good at set pieces?
-
luis meh too
-
Any trickles? My keeps drying up
-
We’ve not looked remotely like scoring a goal, let alone 2. It needs a massive turnaround.
-
Crossing has been piss poor.
-
Any trickles? My keeps drying up
To be honest, you’re probably better off that way
-
Any trickles? My keeps drying up
Masochist?
-
Why is it so hard to cross a fucking ball? Sort it out Luiz
-
leeds won't have an easier half this season.
-
For all we can say about the missing players, we should be far better than this with the players that are out there. It's not like Leeds have a world class midfield we're up against.
-
The lad we sent off to West Brom would offer more than Bailey
-
Watkins. Get him off!
-
For all we can say about the missing players, we should be far better than this with the players that are out there. It's not like Leeds have a world class midfield we're up against.
exactly .. how much was Onana
-
For all we can say about the missing players, we should be far better than this with the players that are out there. It's not like Leeds have a world class midfield we're up against.
Yeah, this is where I am now. Losing potentially four out of five at home against mid to lower table teams isn't good enough, no matter who is missing. Worst thing is I was expecting this today.
-
I’m genuinely losing count now of how many poor halves we have had this season. Saved by the odd screamer from 30 yards which we have also stopped doing.
-

Agree. No excuses whatsoever
-

Yep the midfield absences don’t help obviously. But we are massively underperforming. We’ve been rubbish for weeks.
-
Watkins. Get him off!
Hopefully for good in the summer
-

Struggling without key players but this is such a stretch. it's one of our best seasons in 30 odd years.
-
What the hell was that Ollie
-
get ollie off
-
So fucking bad from Ollie...again.
-
Ffs Watkins. Get him off now.
-
Score ffs
-
what the fuck was that?
-
Statues
-
Big bloody booooo
-
Go home Ollie
-
Far too many of these slow, uninspiring, boring 1st halves this season.
-
Boooooooo
-
Watkins is shot / finished
-
Watkins is shot / finished
Yet we kept over malen……
-
Wake up Watkins!
-
According to stats Rogers had 6 passes that half, we'd probably have more chance if we got the ball to our main man.
-
What the actual fuck is Watkins doing?!
-
WTF is Watkins doing there hesitating the bell-end.
-
Cash good, the rest gash. Line up was wrong to begin with.
-
Absolute dreck for 40 minutes. Imagine paying £75 to watch that shite.
-
watkins crap
bailey crap
buendia Crap
not alot from Rogers to be fair
still should have scored one at least thou.
-
Appalling half
-
At least one of Bailey or Buendia has to come off, we can't carry both.
-
Absolutely fucking shit. Bailey and a Watkins lucky to be out there. Waste of space right now. Bailey, totally unconvincing. Watkins, looks like he’s about 38.
-
We’ve got to give Abrahams a full half here. Ollie is just not doing it.
It’s like his head is somewhere else.
-
Problem is look at the bench, very few attackig options.
-
Terrible performance's this season against poor opponents
-
Some fucking energy from the whole team would be nice too.
-
Barkley for Buendia, Rogers left, Abraham for Watkins and maybe Sancho for Bailey.
-
Mings. I love mings but he is killing us.
Dwelling on the ball, slowing things down to a point where Leeds have time to reset and get everyone back behind the ball and so it’s just cycle and repeat
-
Boo's at Villa park, Unai needs to change this, he has to, that was rubbish, big weekend with the other fixtures, I expect Liverpool, Man U and Chelsea all to win, they will be right on our backs.
Thought Emi could have done much better with that free kick, from that distance, total crap, the problem we have is that Leeds have choke points all over the midfield and are cutting us off, when we do break the strangle hold we need Ollie to be at the game, he just isn't.
Its over to you Unai.
-
I’m so glad I’ve been forced to watch England rugby instead 🤔
-
Why is it so hard to cross a fucking ball? Sort it out Luiz
Put a couple of cracking deliveries in the last couple of minutes. Been poor though. Had to equalise there. We look so flat, letting a woeful team feel their way into the game and now being again. DCL bullying Konsa in particular.
Changes - Lindelof or Torres for Mings, they are letting Mings have the ball. Tammy for Ollie. Rogers who has been beyond useless out to the left. Even to switch with Buendia. Can easily get back into this but need change in personnel and attitude.
-
Pathetic we look like a team that has fully lost it’s bottle and Ty starting again, much as I like him, screams that. We are not trying to win games.
-
Mings. I love mings but he is killing us.
Dwelling on the ball, slowing things down to a point where Leeds have time to reset and get everyone back behind the ball and so it’s just cycle and repeat
It's generally all over the pitch
-
Pathetic across the park. This is down to team selection, Bailey a winger who only passes backwards and can't beat a man, Watkins try as he might is past it and Luiz just not enough. Their goal is down to Martinez and sloppy positioning. Here we are again chasing a bottom side who are creating better chances. Emery has got this team all wrong today.
-
Shocking half (apart from Matty!).
The Leeds players: they're all big units, aren't they? Glad Mings is playing.
Hope Tammy comes on ASAP!
-
Tammy for Watkins
Barkley for Buendia
Sancho for Bailey
-
Mings. I love mings but he is killing us.
Dwelling on the ball, slowing things down to a point where Leeds have time to reset and get everyone back behind the ball and so it’s just cycle and repeat
That incessant chewing-gum chewing bugs me more than it should. Thomas Frank does it too. Are slebs given access to gum that never loses its flavour like yer wan from Willy Wonka?
-
We don’t look remotely like scoring, it’s like the start of the season again.
-
According to stats Rogers had 6 passes that half, we'd probably have more chance if we got the ball to our main man.
Gives it away ever time he has got it
-
We can question if people should be booing, but with so many paying £71-£82 for this it's hard to blame them.
-
Pretty much exactly what I feared, made worse by having next to zero threat up front. Lose Bailey and get either Barkley or Bogarde on. I'd be tempted to lose Onana and bring them both on.
-
We’ve got to give Abrahams a full half here. Ollie is just not doing it.
It’s like his head is somewhere else.
I think we need to give him a half and see if he can do more with mo Tielemans tham Ollie
-
Why did we bother buying Abraham? Watkins is a waste of a shirt.
-
According to stats Rogers had 6 passes that half, we'd probably have more chance if we got the ball to our main man.
Gives it away ever time he has got it
One unsuccessful pass.
-
Abysmal again, bar the last 5 mins.
I'm afraid this way of playing is not going to work with the personel currently available. The ball is being played too slowly out of the back, (Mings again) and we are taking too many touches in midfield and this results in Rogers barely getting a kick
We have no creativity because the central two only play back and square.
Buendia isnt good enough. Oh yeah, and we need to end the Bailey experiment now. He is dreadful, lighweight and clumsy in possession. He was crap first time round apart from a 3 month spell. He is even worse now.
I would get 2 up front and try and swamp them with the early ball to see if they can cope. Otherwise, we lose this match.
-
Thought we actually started well, but deteriorated as the half went. Real lack of quality from the four attacking players. Would have to see it again, but I'm not sure Martinez should have got beaten from that far out to be honest.
-
Mings. I love mings but he is killing us.
Dwelling on the ball, slowing things down to a point where Leeds have time to reset and get everyone back behind the ball and so it’s just cycle and repeat
we all love ty, but it is a coincidence that our season took off when pau was brought in to partner konsa, and that it's tailed off again since ty came back in. we're back to walking football again.
-
According to stats Rogers had 6 passes that half, we'd probably have more chance if we got the ball to our main man.
Gives it away ever time he has got it
One unsuccessful pass.
Not controlling it, not getting turned on the ball. Not doing anything
-
We lose so much passing ability and being able to move the ball from the back when Mings plays instead of Pau. Bailey is just being Bailey which means predictable and ineffective. Watkins has continued his patch form. Emery needs to make changes at HT not after 65 mins. Sancho and Abrahams needed on now.
-
I'd take a pm for a trickle if anyone could be so kind? Not watching hasn't helped so far!!
-
We can question if people should be booing, but with so many paying £71-£82 for this it's hard to blame them.
Its not just a question of the money, Villa are looking at surrendering a golden opportunity of being top 3, it really wouldn't be hard to be in the top 3 as we close the season out, we had a fantastic points lead over the teams behind us, relatively easy fixtures and what do we do?.
-
We can question if people should be booing, but with so many paying £71-£82 for this it's hard to blame them.
You have to either win or play well at those prices.
-
I'd try Tammy wider. See if he and Ollie can do anything. He can't be worse than Bailey.
-

I would boo that pile of shit if I'd paid that amount of money to watch zero fucks given.

It's a bit of a peculiar choice from the boss, especially as we need some vision without Youri.

Yup. It's means everything happens fifteen yards further back as a result.
Not to say that bringing Pau would suddenly bring the front four out of their collective funk though.
On the bright side, we were 1-0 down at half-time in the reverse fixture and went on to win it. Let's just do that again.
-
Fresh depths.
-
Victor Lindelof must think whst the hell did i do wrong
-
Victor Lindelof must think whst the hell did i do wrong
I think we’re all thinking that too
-

with the greatest of respect "He can't be worse than Bailey" is no recommendation :)..
-

Pm sent.
-
Til I come.
-
We’re shit at traditional kick-off times.
-
I wonder if it might help bringing Rogers back deeper and more centrally. It sounds like we're struggling to play on the half turn in midfield.
-
No subs?
-

The players need to remind themselves how we became so strong at Villa Park because right now it's like they just expect us to win because of the record. Leeds, as limited as they are, want it more and it shows all over the park.
-
No changes…..sigh.
-
No subs?
F"ck - hate that
-
We deserve to lose for no subs on this
-
Duncan check your dms
-
The drizzly view from the Lower Holte is matching my mood...
-
Why, Unai? Why?
-
No subs lol.
-
Can't believe how slow Watkins was to react to the chance at the end of the first half.
-
Leeds are a physical side, if not much else and Mings has handled DLC well most times he's played him previously.
Pau needs to improve when it comes to physical duels - as the manager has said himself numerous times now.
If he was better at that he'd prob be a guaranteed first team pick.
But he's not and subsequently isn't.
-
Both Bailey and Buendia need to show Unai was right not to hook either of them at HT.
-
I mean ,why are we playing Bailey.Proper head scratcher.
-
We need to score fucking goals Villa.
-
We need to score fucking goals Villa.
Wasn’t that what Malen used to do?
-
If I was Tammy I’d already be speaking to my agent.
-
Last three and a half home league games we've scored 1 goal. And that was an own goal.
-
Last three and a half home league games we've scored 1 goal. And that was an own goal.
Yep and this is what I meant pre-game. Unless we start having a creative spark we are going to be absolutely fucked.
-
Last three and a half home league games we've scored 1 goal. And that was an own goal.
It’s abysmal. And we can complain all we like about decisions that went against us. But we haven’t taken care of the things we can control. Our season is in danger of falling apart. We might be chasing a Europa spot by the time McGinn and Youri return.
-
The crowd are getting annoyed with Mings constantly slowing the game down.
-
Wake the fuck up Emery
-
Wake the fuck up Emery
lol.
-
Luiz, Bailey, Buendia, Watkins, Rogers should be capable of creating more against fecking Leeds.
-
Bbbboooooorrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnngggggggg
-
Onana absolutely useless ain't he
-
Luiz, Bailey, Buendia, Watkins, Rogers should be capable of creating more against fecking Leeds.
It’s not just the players. It’s the game plan. That starts with the manager. He talks about needing energy from the crowd. The players job is to generate that energy and the crowd, many paying obnoxious amounts of money will look after the rest. The tactics are shit. And at home it has been for a good while now.
-
Bbbboooooorrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnngggggggg
Ffs I got excited for a second then
-
We seem to have fuck all idea how to create chances against side that are defensive. Whicj is why I can't understand our regulat shit starts, score early and they can't spend the game defending.
-
Nothing happening?
-
We aren’t scoring here.
-
Bailey off Sancho on
Onana off Ross on
-
Well done Bailey, now fuck off.
-
Half an hour left and still nothing.
-
fuck off bailey
-
Fucking Bailey!!!!! Aghhhhhhhh!!!
-
Get Bailey off now
-
I thought Bailey was off?
-
No legs in midfield now, granted Onana has been a hologram again
-
I’m gonna stick Midsomer Murders on.
-
How the fuck is Tammy not on yet.
-
Bailey should never be more than a sub
-
Why no Tammy? We need to actually score.
-
Tammy is a much better all round forward than Watkins.
-
How the fuck is Tammy not on yet.
You just said he was!
-
Nah that was aliens mind fucking you.
-
Barkley for Onana is pretty wild.
-
5th place is becoming fainter, like a photo in Back to the Future.
-
Tony Gale likes Watkins effort, so that’s something
-
Getting on top, but creating smeg all.
-
Bailey should never be more than a sub
What he did just before coming off was a disgrace. He can fuck right off, totally unacceptable.
-
We used to start so fast, wish we would go back to that
-
Try shooting from a corner Luiz!
-
Bailey should never be more than a sub
What he did just before coming off was a disgrace. He can fuck right off, totally unacceptable.
What did he do?
-
We are going to lose 1-0 at home in three straight PL games to the might of Everton, Brentford and Leeds aren’t we?
-
Remember someone saying in the pre match thread we just want an easy no frills afternoon. Will that ever happen again?!
-
At least Watkins tracked back then. Bailey just stood and sulked after losing the ball pathetically.
Ollie had actually played a great ball to start that attack, too.
-
We are going to lose 1-0 at home in three straight PL games to the might of Everton, Brentford and Leeds aren’t we?
We did beat Brighton
-
Mings with an air shot
-
Not bloody chance we’re scoring here.
-
Bailey should never be more than a sub
What he did just before coming off was a disgrace. He can fuck right off, totally unacceptable.
He looked terrified to actually do anything, so did nothing and lost the ball.
-
Bailey should never be more than a sub
What he did just before coming off was a disgrace. He can fuck right off, totally unacceptable.
What did he do?
Lost the ball in a good position, then just started walking slowly back. Watkins actually sprinted past him to try and stop Dirty Leeds' counter.
-
Goal but offside
-
Offside.
-
Oh Mings! Great chance.
A bit more like it though.
-
How many times is that offside for Watkins?
-
Tammy on now please!
-
No need for VAR there.
-
why don't we play like this from the start?
-
All one way at present.
-
Wonder if Tammy will get on
-
Score Villa score, once you get one i'll faint to the floor
in shock that we scored!
-
We are going to lose 1-0 at home in three straight PL games to the might of Everton, Brentford and Leeds aren’t we?
We did beat Brighton
Oh yeh. That 1-0 goal fest. How did I forget?
-
We're trying to score the most intricate passing goal
-
Wonder if Tammy will get on
I know Emery loves Ollie for what he has done for him since he came here but the worry it is it becomes a blind spot. It’s also a bigger conversation to be had about the rest of the squad and how we have failed to bring in many starting players in Emery’s time with us.
-
We are going to lose 1-0 at home in three straight PL games to the might of Everton, Brentford and Leeds aren’t we?
We did beat Brighton
Oh yeh. That 1-0 goal fest. How did I forget?
To be fair earlier you claimed there had been so many terrible halves yet here we are third at the end of February.
-
Tammy coming on
-
Not difficult but we look better since Barkley has come on.
-
Emi saves.
-
Just give the ball to Barkley...and start him next game.
-
we loom better, but we're not scoring today. it's one of those days again
-
Tammy on for Buendia
-
Come on Tammy!
-
We are going to sleep walk to 6th aren't we?
-
We are going to sleep walk to 6th aren't we?
I fear so, yes.
-
Emi again.
-
Buendia is just a shit Boris Johnson.
-
We are going to sleep walk to 6th aren't we?
Doing a Forest

We're trying to play intricate build-up through a packed central area, but without the world class players you need to do it consistently.
Emery needs to try a different approach until we get back to full strength.
-
Tammy on for Buendia
A whole 15 minutes.
-
Emi saves.
From Mings needlessly hoofing it into the stand under no pressure.
-
barkley oh dear
sancho done so much more than bailey already
barkley has been good
-
So we sign Malen and rarely play him. Now we sign Tammy and do the same🙈
-
If we are going to be into the CL then Emery needs to fundamentally change his structure which he lives and dies by. At least until SJM and Youri get back. It’s too rigid, too reliant on the same players and systems. Tammy brings a different way of playing. Use him. Stop persisting with Ollie all the time. And if Ollie sulks well he can fuck off until he plays better.
-
Start the first half like we did the second and every chance we're ahead, instead of chasing against a side with 5 at the back.
-
Tammy on for Buendia
Are you sure?
-
Emi saves.
From Mings needlessly hoofing it into the stand under no pressure.
Mings is a real problem for our play.

Aliens have gone now.

With all due respect, who do you think you are?

Never work the keeper enough that last month, easy work for them.

I’m sorry what?

When clubs have an injury crisis people step up.
When we have one, everyone just goes through the motions. We dont have a bad squad and should be handsomely beating this shower of shite at home!
-
We're approaching 4 home league games with one own goal, it's fair to suggest things aren't currently working too well.
-
Pathetic
-
Great slash from Cash

The list is endless.

It's been really fun having Cascarino on comms. Definitely loved it.
-
This really is poor
-
Ampadu destroyed our midfield today
-
Can't even say we've been unlucky, we've just been very poor.
-
Garcia and Boagrde coming on...this will dramatically change the game.
-
Amazing how shit we’ve become very quickly.
-
Can't even say we've been unlucky, we've just been very poor.
Again.
The injuries have had a massive effect but in not sure enough to explain the lethargy and the repeatedly trying to do the same things over and over despite them not working.
-

Well at least he can speak with personal experience as to how he fucked up a Villa championship challenge.
-
Bogey on for Cash
Garcia on for Luiz
-

We have been for several games. Emery doesn't seem to know what to do about it.
-
We keep just trying to play a way that is not working.
-
1-1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TAMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
-
GOALLLLLLLLLLL
-
Goooooaaaaaaaalllllllllllllll
-

Start the new striker you’ve signed would be a start
-
/faints
-
It’s the limitations of Emery. When we are good we are unbeatable. When we aren’t we look gash. This season we had every chance to consolidate but we look more likely to capitulate.
-
Thank fuck for that.
-
Start the game like this we'd have strolled it
-
get in! thomas gets a goal!
-
gooalll
but emery your starting eleven was wrong
-
Thank fuck for Tammy. Now why wasn’t he on at halftime???
-
Great. Now win the fucking game
-
Fucking start the knee.
-
Sometimes you just need to get it in the mixer.
-
If we hold on, this single point could be crucial. Well done Tammy.
-
Let's have another
-
He has to take Ollie's place now!
-
Take the knee
-
Take the knee
?
-
Burnley have scored

Yep. I’m all for giving him all the praise for the entire body of work. But right now he’s stuck in a rut. Every home game where we used to take the game to teams has become the same turgid bollocks. No doubt losing three massive players in terms of quality and the system has really hurt us. But the drop off should not have been this steep. And in truth against bang average sides.
-
5 added mins
-
Burnley equalised v Chelsea.
-
Take the knee
?
And use it to score 😎
-
(Burnley equaliser against Chelsea too)
-
Take the knee
?
Kneesy now.
-
Dirty Leeds!!!!
-
Tammy should start every game until the end of the season
-
Dirty ******, hope you're out all season for that.
-
Or start Ollie and Tammy. As I said earlier it's better than Bailey at present.
-

I dont think Unai would change things that drastically

Ollie down the left how he started his career in support of Tammy.

Highly unlikely
-
And yet we look much better with them both on with Ross.
-
FT
-
Maatsen's crossing has been abysmal.
-
Game over.
-
Matched Chelsea’s result.
-
Point gained in the circumstances
-
4 points from a possible 12 at Villa Park isn’t a good return.
-
Another "easy" home game without three points.
-
Awful performance, tactics etc
-
Better result than Chelsea had.
-

Agreed but look at it over a season…too much negativity, I am happy where we are, players to come back…good god let’s get behind our biys
