Sean Young would have offered more.

Seán Óg (Ó hAilpín) would definitely improve us.

We have some great players. We also have some shite.
The shite players can be carried when we are at full strength. Unfortunately, they can’t when are not.

Buendia - one moment of magic every 3 or games masks the sea of diarrhoea he serves up the rest of the time.
Bailey - a clear reminder of why we couldn’t wait to get rid of him.
Sancho - lately he has been slightly less shit than usual. Not a great appraisal of him.
Watkins - a great servant but is closing in on being finished at the top level. Slow to react to chances in the box, and its getting very tiring watching him in one on one situations when he is so easily dispossessed or knocked over.

We have a big squad, unfortunately there is too much fluff in it

Really harsh on Buendia. He gets the most shit for losing the ball when all of our players do it. I think it's some confirmation bias thing where folk see that he's small and physically inferior so he has to make up for it by always keeping possession.

His pressing game is completely over-looked, only Watkins compares and his little passes and flicks turn our possession into dangerous attacks. He's got highly-impressive shooting technique and his ability at free-kicks is proven.

He's saved us buying Harvey Elliott, meaning that £30m can go elsewhere next July. And he has increased his value by close to double compared to last summer if we were to sell him next summer and try replace him with someone younger.

Feel for Emery, there's not much more he can do, Onana was walking all second half, Watkins is a shadow of former self and those that were happy to see Bailey back will be sorely disappointed.

Digne and Mings do so badly for that goal.

Digne was pathetic. Mings should probably have been sharper to get across but that non effort from Digne was unacceptable.

Only saw the highlights, Martinez very fortunate to get away with those two parries

This Alysson cant be any worse than Bailey. 
KYoung also potentially offers more.

Ashley Young offers more.

Neil Young would offer more.

Jimmy Young would

Sean Young would have offered more.

Carl Jung would have offered more and also analysed where the others were going wrong.


Carson Yeung would have offered more and sold millions of shirts in his Villa shops all across China.

Digne for the goal was just inexplicably terrible. Mings too, just watched their guy run at the goal and shoot. It was like when your controller briefly loses connection while you're playing FIFA.

I can't really comprehend what happened, it was that shit.

Because his starting position was so bad, ( he was no where near the winger when he recieved the ball and made no attempt to get there), it was then too late to engage, it just took a bit of acceleration and he was in on goal.
It was the most passive piece of defending I can recall.

A good point normally but not in the context of the last couple of weeks or in the current league table.  Unai will continue to manage our expectations that we're punching so it will always feel good when we do.
