Are you worried?

No. This is easily the best Villa side anybody has seen in 4 decades. Inferiority complexes are deeply unattractive.

[Accent Guy]

Yes, today was a classic example of what worries me these days.
The other thing I worry about is the dearth of trophies. It’s been so long and as things stand with our emphasis on a European competition that we’re unlikely to win - what else is there for us?

Which is why I keep banging on about the importance of the Palace game.

The only trophy we can realistically win is the League Cup, since the football gods have decreed the FA Cup shall never return to B6.

We simply have to go for it next week and in the subsequent rounds.

Finishing 4th will be amazing, if we can manage to do it again, but it's still not a trophy.

Not the same thing Ads, but I get your point.

[kippaxvilla2]

Yes.

[Rigadon]

Worried: no.  Stressed: yes.  That is what having successful team does, and in a completely different way to being relegation-threatened.     

[PaulWinch again]

Worried? Not really. But we do need to try and build a defensive structure again. We concede too many and so many are woeful goals.

[ChicagoLion]

Not worried but there are some problems with the set up and some performances that need sorting out.

[Demitri_C]

Depends on what you mean by worried.

Are you worried we will finish midtable? No

Are you worried we might not get CL again? Yes

[Astnor]

At the moment we are more midtable than CL spot. Drawing at home twice to midtable teams and drawing away to bottom area team and loosing to other teams battling for CL spots. Not worried though, I thin we will come back stronger in not too long, long term also look good enough. As it stands chances for a result at Anfield next week are slim.

[VillaTim]

Worries that we have been rumbled to a degree , time will tell but it feels like Emery needs to rethink some stuff

[Villan82]

The worst week in more than two years. It's the first time I have felt this deflated since October 2022.

I just hope we can get back on track

Worried some of you have access to the franchise. Jaysus.

[Villan82]

Well Ads, we have a fully fit squad for the first time in 14 months and have had a 4-1 thumping away at Spurs after giving up on the league cup in mid-week so we could rest players up. Liverpool away next.

We had a fully fit squad for 23 minutes away at Newcastle and got hammered 5.

I don't quite understand how people assume that you rest for the following game, as if cumulative fatigue isn't the bigger issue. We rested in the week for April and May.

[VillaTim]

For the first time in his reign i sense there is a tiny bit of pressure on Emery now . He needs to sort that defence out to start it's been our chilles heel for far too long. The Mings/Konsa CB pairing needs to return ASAP .
