Have been fortunate enough to see him in the flesh a few times and it is even more impressive. The blokes vision is unreal. He spots things which at ground level, I'm not entirely sure how he does it. Then you combine it with his ability and technique. Unreal player.

Correct 3 times he's looked across to see where Jesus was then knocks a 30 yard cross in like that, unreal player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's made them defensively solid. Dem Blades play the percentages. They know when to turn it on and when to take a step back and be solid. Farke and Smith are welded to their philosophy and trying to play football. They are both far too open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure they have signed him yet, he is in the stands watching & might think twice about joining them on this showing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks pissed up Given he couldn't get a game on loan at Burnley for 5 months it is a bit strange that Villa have stuck him straight in the starting 11 for this game. Looks like he has won a competition to play. If he comes out for the second half I'll be shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 There is something quite amusing/painful watching a team constantly trying to play it around the back when they are nowhere near good enough to do it. Calling it now: I think Dean Smith might find himself out of a job. With the amount Villa have spent, got to think relegation would be a catastrophe.

He has got that beleaguered look that I remember him having all too often when he was our captain. Why didn't he change it at half-time, why have they not made a change yet? I know it won't change the result but this lot are embarrassing themselves without City having to go through the gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Seeing all those Villa fans storm off before half time. Think part of the problem there is that some of their fans still think Villa are a top club, when the fact is they're a team who just got promoted back to the PL. Historically, fanbase etc, Aston Villa are a huge club. One of the best grounds in the country and a history which most would kill for...but at the moment they have a top end Championship team trying to compete in the PL and it is showing. I actually fear for anyone having to play City for the rest of this season. Yes, the title is gone, but City will now just turn up and play, without the pressure. They'll finish second and get themselves prepared for next season. A nightmare to face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can tell (Twitter), a lot of Villa fans don't rate him as a tactician. They try and play nice football, but once you get past that, there isn't much going on. It is all very well having a philosophy...but at times you've got to show a willingness to change. Heck, Jurgen Klopp changed his philosophy when he realised that the "rock and roll" football wasn't sustainable over a full PL season. If he's having to reassess, then surely those way beneath him have to rethink occasionally too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 As much as Grealish is a nob, to be fair he hasn't played badly in this game. Trouble is they haven't had the ball enough to get it to him that much and when he has got it has has looked lively but has nothing at all to pass to.

Yeah. Would love to get back to the so-called promised land...but it is quite depressing how the thrill of promotion can so quickly evaporate into this. The scary bit about Villa, is they spent a small fortune this summer and yet they are still looking very much like a Championship team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s6 owl Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 What a player Sergio Aguero is he's not quite as good as Steven Fletcher but he's still a cracking player none the less. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
