Diffrerence being of cause, Konsa had the pace to catch Gordon whereas Torres wasn't at the races
He didnt catch him, he grabbed his shoulder from behind and pulled him back. I think I am entering a parallel dimension here.

You’re falling into the same trap as me mate, debating with the biggest twat on Here
Takes one to know one you massive twat

Happy to put it to a open vote as to who people think is the biggest (massive) twat

loser has to remove himself from the site for good, and can’t come back under another name because there are some twats that have done that in the past

I haven't voted on a poll in here yet, I wouldn't mind this being my first.

Yesterday Tyrone Mings won 8 aerial duels against Brentford.

The last time an Aston Villa player won 8+ aerial duels in an away game in the Premier League was Tyrone Mings vs Everton in February 2023.

The last time (before that) an Aston Villa player won 8+ aerial duels in an away game in the Premier League was Tyrone Mings vs Tottenham in October 2021.

I honestly wouldn’t be too worried about individual players. I know there are some on here who are fully anti particular players, and as a result will spin stuff into players playing well yesterday but the reality is everyone was poor. On the one hand that might be worrying, but I’d suggest that is a great indicator that it’s a system/tactical failure far more than an individual player issue.

Now clearly Unai needs to sort out that failure, and fast, but I wouldn’t be writing off individuals when the team are so obviously not functioning as a unit at the start of this season.
This is far too sensible a post, it’ll never catch on with Tim.

Torres has been getting done for soft goals even when we were flying . Paul is correct there are wider issues with the whole team at present but the basic flaws remain with him regardless. When we play Mings / Konsa we are more solid and better as a team .

I know it's difficult in one case, but can everyone please stop being twats, even small ones.

I think Torres has been good for us in the main and it might have been because that he was a bit in and out of the team, but last season.O began to think we needed an.upgrade at CB.  With the others back there, we just need that physical type of CB who can lead it a bit.  Mings dies that, but if money wasn't so tight I would have liked to have seen us bring in a real quality CB probably at the expense of Torres.
