Not usually a fan of McGinn on the right but now that we've got Garcia's quality overlapping it could create better opportunities on that side. Like Bogarde starting too, adds some mettle in the middle which we've missed with Boubs and Onana out. Let's do it #UTV

Was absolutely not convinced by either Rashford or Asensio if they were permanent signings and the fees needed for both, however looking at it from the point of view that we've gone from Duran, Buendia and Philogene to Malen and the two above, we've clearly made a big upgrade in the short term...

Last night was pretty good wasn't it #utv

Girona goal to make it a great night 🤞🏽

Need Milan not to win both their last 2, Atalanta to not beat Juve, Brest to lose in Madrid. As it stands assuming only Bayern go above us, and we leapfrog Atalanta. We need to win too, preferably by a couple at least.

Boubacar Kamara.

Much better. Lovely slight pause from Ollie before the finish, made enough space to pass it round Pickford. Great ball Rogers too.

So incredibly wasteful. Recurring theme now throughout the season. Got to be better in those situations if we want to finish in the champions league places, simple as that. #utv

Interesting one with the Malen links. Can't say I've seen him play too much but going by the stats websites around he seems to be much more of a play 'finisher' than a creator, possession and carry stats not particularly on the high side. Assumed we'd be after someone who looks after the ball a...

Did somewhat ride our luck and snatch some wins with Duran's goals at the start of the season, but also feels like a lot of little moments haven't gone our way in the last couple months. Interesting stuff here

What a performance. Everyone fantastic, ball retention better today, new set up with Boubs x Onana together. That's the way to go, gives Youri licence to influence things further forward, no surprise he puts in a performance like that with the protection behind him. Utv

Wrote up about Aston Villa's new mixed use venue project, which should focus on something greater than revenue and matchdays.

Tough one to take. We weren't particularly great but could have won it. Interesting to see how we develop as a team from here because there are definitely a couple of profiles of players that we need to progress.

A few have left the bad place for here and you never know, so please share. 👇
