You have to admire Barca, they make it look easy. Midfield just walks but still somehow creates acres of space against our midfield. People will credit Barca and rightly so but I thought we made them look better than they are. #AVFC
Ah this is getting frustrating 😂 everything we do just doesn't come off while they could shoot from the half way line and it would probably go top corner. I think we've gave them to much respect tonight. #AVFC
BTW Torres has been amazing tonight. Looks like a Barca type player in all honesty. #AVFC
Done so well but being behind by such a silly avoidable goal is frustrating. These are for the taking I feel but the occasion seems to be allowing them to much respect. Passing needs to sharpen up. A bit of pace on the wings will either make or break it, worth the risk. #AVFC
Resting players for League Cup games & losing ruins confidence and any sort of momentum gained.
#AVFC
Fulham looked good today from the off. A few players look off the pace, Manzambi, McGinn didn't have their best game. Not quite sure why there was so much disconnect that second half but they looked knackered. #AVFC
But but but, there's no case! Owner got exactly what he wanted & a message has been sent #AVFC
The same fans saying its embarrassing are the same ones that moan when the papers/media keep trying to sell our players to the 'Sky 6' & tell our manager to move on because 'Villa will never be'. There may be no case, but there is a statement of intent.
#AVFC
Imagine younger football fans worldwide watching TV & constantly told Villa will never win this, Villa are a smaller club than these teams. Are they likely going to want to go out and buy a Villa shirt or want to support Villa? No, because they are influenced not to. #AVFC
I'm seeing our own fans saying its embarrassing but I think its absolutely genius. It proves how invested they are & how much they love the club. In a couple of days you will also see why & change opinions, if this doesn't make you want to back them even more then I'm lost #AVFC
Seeing the quotes to this & people need to understand Carragher is bashing Villa week in week out. 'Emery must leave', 'Villa aren't a big club', 'Villa will never win the CL', 'Villa aren't Utd, Liverpool' it's media bashing that is trying to keep clubs like Villa away... #AVFC
Most clips recently I've only heard Carragher talking down Villa. It's the entitlement of all of these ex pros in the Fergie era that's embarrassing to listen to because they've put their own clubs on a pedestal. Imagine what we could do if Football spending was a level for all.
I personally thought that was a perfect game to start Garnacho, not sure why it didn't happen in all honesty. First 11 was slow, disconnected & poor which sets the tone for the rest of the game. Hemmings lacks any sort of confidence needed at this level unfortunately. #AVFC
Hemmings & THB clearly showing tonight they are no where near being ready yet. #AVFC
Arteta inherited a squad that was already competing for titles, Unai Emery has built this squad from relegation contenders to competing for CL most seasons. There is context, but it just doesn't suit people's agenda's to show the full picture. #AVFC
Since Unai took over on 1 November 2022, the Vila has spent €776 million on transfer fees. This covers 44 arrivals. Unai finished the season on 7th, 4th, 6th and 4th positions.
Arteta took over in December 2019 and in his first 4 seasons, he spent €680 million. He finished the season on 8th, 8th, 5th, 2nd, challenging Pep and Klopp in a title race.
What backing and time does Unai need that he's not gotten from Villa? Why isnt he competing for the league yet?
It took Arteta 2 full seasons to start competing for the league. It has taken Unai 3 full season with more spendings and yet he's nowhere near challenging for the title.
You guys should be serious for crying out loud.
A few years ago Matty Cash was questioned, we need an upgrade they said. Last season I tipped him to be player if the season - The Althletic gave him the award. He is one of the leagues best right backs now, he's improved under Unai so much. #AVFC
What's one Villa related prediction for this season?
Mine is Matty Cash is going to be fans player of the season.
#AVFC
The team looks so we'll balanced today. In my head I'd love a world with Mbaye Manzambi Alysson & Jackson a some stage but I think Buendia offers that attacking threat as well as happy tracking back doing the dirty work too #AVFC
