Aston Villa vs Brighton - Pre-Match Thread

That Pedro should be banned too.

I think thats what pisses me off more -  not just the fact that duran appeal turned down where its impossible  to know it was deliberate.  Butcthe brighton one was deliberate  and he missed yet no red card.

Its just pure and utter incompetence by the decision makers. No wonder why people are getting fed of football and turning their back on it. No consistency whatsoever

And they tie themselves verbally in knots trying to justify their mistakes, making themselves sound more incompetent in the process.

Taking their cue from the politicians, I suppose. No austerity doesn't really kill folk and coming up with the latest wordsalad as to why what's happening in GAZA isn't really a genocide, honest. *****, the lot of them.

Ollie Watkins loves scoring against Brighton. 3-1 Villa. We don’t do clean sheets. Ollie with 2, Onana with the other.

First thing that came to my mind when I saw Pedro hadn't been given a red card or retrospective punishment.

Bloody Keir Starmer, before long he’ll ban everything.

Thought I might have a look at getting a  couple of tickets on the Holte as a Christmas present to myself and then seen the prices - good grief! Explains why I can get two together…

I'd stick Ned in then or Bogarde

I know you really want Mings in Tim. I love Mings for the record, but on the basis of your post Torres is more of a defensive problem than Ned or Bogarde??
Both look good prospects, but they are not the answer this Monday night.
If Emery doesnt want to experiment with two left footed CBs, it’ll be Carlos and Torres all day long with Konsa at RB.

Other than that, I think it may end up being the same midfield as the last two games, with Watkins and Rogers up top.

Yes I do want Mings in. The defence is an unorganised shambles without him . We need leaders at the back .

I like Mings a lot but I can’t be the only one to remember he dropped a massive bollock at least once a match? Some of the silly things we see that lead to goals now were happening when he played on a regular basis and people were getting, rightly, fed up of it.

Emerys first season Mings was excellent and made very few mistakes.

And Bogarde or Ned will help with that ‘shambles’ more than Torres?
