Aston Villa v AZ Alkmaar Match Thread

[paul_e]

First I’ve heard of this what’s the story?

Footballer deletes stuff from one of his social media channels (but not the rest). Fans post stuff suggesting he's leaving the club. Player explains and manager says there's no problem but he has an injury. A handful of people insist there's a problem still and it's all lies.

His Facebook has plenty of Villa posts as well. It was only Insta where he wiped nearly everything regardless of club.

i see Duran is off the naughty step

He's back from injury you mean

Yeah ok "injury"

There's zero evidence to say there was a spat of any kind so why buy into it?

all Villa related social media deleted , come on

His twitter still has villa related stuff on there and thought he'd explained some boring reason related to sponsorship or having a media manager take over.

And Emery said there's no issue, so why want to believe that there's drama?

Emery says he's having to take the player through a process.

[PeterWithesShin]

So not his social media like you first claimed?

[Ian.]

He deleted all his pre-Villa stuff as well as most of his national team posts. Maybe he's fallen out with every team he's ever played for.

He’s unhinged you know.

"With Jhon Duran, I have my challenge as a coach with him. He is young & his potential could be great, to be the level of one of the better strikers in the world in the future. But it is about trying to build & to do a process with him"

Pure Footy-Vill vibes

I got 2 players wrong. I had Zaniolo in for Diaby and Moreno playing the first half with Digne coming on at halftime come what may.

I'd be surprised if Moreno starts a game straight away. Unless Digne picks up his 5th yellow and we've no choice.

Idea was to give him a full warm-up and then get 45 minutes in his legs before then bringing Digne on.

So you decided to read 'do a process' means that he's reprimanded him for some reason, rather than he's having to coach him as he's young, in a new league etc etc?

[PeterWithesShin]

Manager in praising young player but saying there's a lot more to come if he does things right shocker.

So all the reports about him throwing his toys out about wanting more game time are made up ?? And then he's coincidentally omitted from squads . No smoke without fire

[Martyn Smith]

Same squad as Forest except for the addition of Marshall and Duran. Do we really need two keepers on the bench? Wouldn't Tim have been better

Don't you have to have 2 keepers for European games?

Why does it bother you so much? You sound obsessed about him.
