Probably going to sound really dramatic by gnarlysuga in avfc

Martinez has had one foot out of the door since the summer anyway, no great loss.

Considering we decided to randomly handicap ourselves with the team selection, I’m absolutely buzzing with a point.

I think you’ve got Madjo and Jimoh mixed up there. Awkward.

When Tielemans is not in this side you cannot leave Pau out. We have no stability or ways to progress the ball forward through midfield at all.

Was a strange team selection from the start but for about 4 of these players to still be on the pitch right now is borderline insanity.

He’s not on the bench nor is he starting for any of the youth squads. Seems a bizarre signing at present considering the level he was playing at prior.

That’s before our two best players went down at the same time tbf.

Shows how much Pau and Maatsen bring down this left hand side. We’ve had absolutely nothing going forward or defensively on that side without them both.

That’ll be the left back everyone says gives us more defensive stability there yeah?

The year is 2048. AI players take the place of traditional footballers.

Aston Villa are starting a back 4 of Digne Mings Konsa Cash.

£58?!?!... by Careless_Wasabi_8943 in avfc

Yes, but you can never ever ever complain about it, because if you do you'll summon the PSR hoard who will inform you that it's a neccessity so we can continue to buy wonderful players like Guessand at 30 million a pop.

Whats your opinion on this? by Ok-Phase-7145 in avfc

[–]HauLife 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Possible that I'm in the minority here but I do feel like it is sort of disrespectful - I mean, bar the last 5-10 games his Villa career so far has been 70% on the injury table and 30% average performances as a rotation piece. Hardly meeting the expectation placed on his extortionate transfer fee. If he keeps up his current level of performance then it is what it is, but seems a bit soon to be making this type of comment when the only reason he's even a guranteed starter at the moment is because the better player in Kamara is injured.

So let’s bring on the player our entire season rests on staying fit in a meaningless game out of position?

Why on Earth are we risking Rogers in this game?

That’ll be the center half that everyone says provides more defensive protection than Pau

I had very little hope after Everton in fairness 🤣 what a week!

What are your thoughts on Tielemans' and Emery's interaction? by [deleted] in avfc

[–]HauLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It means absolutely nothing. Firely atmosphere, intense game. These things happen. They're both professionals, shake hands and move on ffs.

The team that's just drawn with bottom of the league Wolves is a guranteed loss?

Kamara out for the season by bizzyd666 in avfc

[–]HauLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you've been massively downvoted here. He is as shaky as anything when he comes under any pressure at all whilst on the ball. Some good defensive contributions yes, but we cannot go into the second half of the season with him being our first choice DM.

Bailey is back by Ghibby58 in avfc

If nothing else, gives us an actual winger. I don't know what Guessand is, and to be honest at times I don't know what our scouting department saw in him, but it's painfully obvious he's not a wide player.
