Unai bollocks them for trying quick breaks… if the opposition is out of shape then so are we, which is a massive problem for Unai.
It looks that way. When we win the ball we tend to look for a backwards pass which kills any counter attack.

What is so irritating is we create all these chances while playing so poorly. Is it that we simply do not have a goo enough strike force?
We need a clinical finisher , like a prime Vardy or Owen. Players who win games with a single chance .

I'm starting to think the unthinkable that maybe we should cash in on Ollie during the summer.
All strikers miss chances, this season he has missed too many match winning chances.
Today was a case in point.

I am more than starting to think it, I absolutely think we should.

Someone will offer us stupid money for him for the last time this summer, he's nudging 30.

We've had his best years, cash in, move on.

Pretty sure he will go to Arsenal in the summer anyway . Wheels in motion I reckon.

I thought it was a given.

Unai said something along the lines of the Club has been very good to him and now it’s time for him to be good to the Club in the winter window.

I took that to mean please don’t go now but we will let you go in the summer.

Personally I’d prefer it if we didn’t sell our best players. Brings back memories of the long list of player sold being read out to Doug at AGMs!

Doug sold them to make money. We should be looking for an upgrade on Watkins.

I’ll guarantee everyone that the Ipswich keeper turns back into the Cinderella the tramp next game. Likely a 5-0 battering and two through his legs. Time and again average keepers roll into Villa and become the next coming of Gordon Banks.
if you put the ball where a half decent keeper expects it to go then he'll save it. Our finishing has been dreadful this season, hence the awful goal difference.

Given PSR and what happened with selling Luiz and over paying for Onana I’d fear for that approach!

Said the same earlier. He scores a few but bloody hell he misses some sitters on a regular basis as the stats prove. £50m to the Arse

I’d definitely move Ollie on in the summer too, and I think we will. Way too many missed chances this season, and I think he’s peaked. Cash in.

Easy to say sell Ollie and just get an upgrade. Who would they be and how much would they cost? Anyone with a better record than him in the PL would be outside of our budget, so we'd be taking a gamble on someone in a different league.

Personally, and I know he's not an out and out striker but he has played there and he's possibly a better finisher than Ollie - I would break the bank for Bowen. He's the only spark in an awful West Ham side and is surely getting pissed off at a club going nowhere.

 His Dad's Villa, tap him up and let's try a reverse Durán, hopefully Jarrod hands in a transfer request. I'd have him ahead of Malen and Rashford.

We struggle against poorer sides because they come to defend, the pace we play at gives them every advantage. By the time our back line gets themselves in order you could make a cup of tea. It is so obvious but nothing changes, when we were flying we were all attack, it was fast exciting football now we seem to play not to lose and very easy to defend against.
I wanted Ollie off at half time and revert to the forward line of last week, he is missing too many now, he has been a good servant but his easy misses this season has cost us, if had taken that easy chance early we would have gone on to win comfortably. Our two best players were the new boys and they need to start.

The amount of big chances we create we just need a better finisher . Watkins is a 1 in 4 big chances guy, we need a 1 in 2 .
