Somewhat distracted today. Very jealous of the fans enjoying the Parisian sunshine. What an opportunity for this team. Great reward for their progress.

Some huge calls for Emery to make for the starting 11 in Paris. Wonder if anyone played their way into his thinking over the last two league games.

Can understand why Rashford was given MOTM, but the award would have gone to Kamara if I was choosing. New contract for him could be our most important business before next season.

Get Watkins on and push Rashford wide left. Asensio or Rogers can make way.

Cash crosses better on his left foot than his right.

Not the right game to start Asensio. Villa too narrow and too slow. Chelsea having no difficulty finding the acres of free space on the wings. Bring on Rashford or Malen to give their full backs something to think about running back towards their own goal.

Duran was box office entertainment, but also pretty frustrating. So much talent, so I really hope for his sake he matures and applies himself. I don't think we've seen the last of him in Europe. Villa have done well to avoid him going straight to a PL rival.

Arsenal have needed a striker like Watkins for years. No surprise they want him but the timing is bizarre. They know they'd only cause anger sending an offer today. So are they clueless, classless, or are they desperately trying to give Villa an alternative to selling Duran?
January 29, 2025 at 7:39 PM
Emery clearly rates Felix very highly. High enough to sacrifice Duran to make space for him? I reckon so.

Big half time for Emery. Needs to get Digne and Maatsen on the same page pronto. West Ham threatening from set plays. Villa need to get back to passing the ball on the floor.
January 26, 2025 at 5:28 PM
Pleased for Emi. Felt he did enough on Tuesday night to put himself in contention for a start today vs West Ham.
Emi Buendia has reached an agreement with Aston Villa to extend his contract by 1 year!

Ollie Watkins has been involved in 99 Premier League goals in 168 appearances for Aston Villa. If he scores or assists vs West Ham, he'll be the fastest player to 100 G/A since Kevin De Bruyne in July 2020 and fastest Englishman since Harry Kane in November 2017. 🤯

Villa have needed to smarten up commercially for decades, so it's pleasing to see the club climb the ££ table.

Still a lot of scope for progress, but one area of significant improvement has been our ability to sell players. Carlos the latest example of achieving a healthy fee.

Villa looking like a side that are playing their third away game in 7 days. Little bit surprised Emery didn't rotate more but tough with the injuries stacking up.
January 21, 2025 at 7:44 PM
Villa probably only need to find one extra gear to win this.
January 21, 2025 at 6:37 PM
So close to a home tie vs Tamworth. What a treat that would have been.
January 12, 2025 at 6:33 PM
Assuming there's no shortage of suitors for Duran in the summer, I fully expect Arsenal to try to muscle their way to the front of the queue. Another season without a centre forward would be professional suicide for Arteta.
January 12, 2025 at 6:32 PM
Half glass empty... we were flat vs a poor Leicester side. Half glass full... we won without Rogers and Duran.

Interesting to see how Emery approaches the West Ham game with a busy few weeks ahead.
January 5, 2025 at 9:36 PM
There was always going to be a few bumps in the road reintegrating Mings, Buendia and Kamara after such long lay-offs, but on the whole Emery is doing a great job of getting them much needed minutes to get back up to speed. Squad depth now looking very healthy.

Aston Villa are unbeaten in all 11 of their Premier League games against promoted sides under Unai Emery (W9 D2), winning five of their six at home under the Spaniard (D1).

Delighted for Mings. Offers us something than no one else in the squad can. Hopefully he's buzzing getting through 90 mins tonight.

Hoping Villa go back to basics for these next two matches. We've been woeful defensively for some time now. With Olsen potentially between the sticks, I'd like us to focus on denying opposition chances more than we have been doing. We should still have enough to cause problems going the other way.
December 4, 2024 at 9:02 AM
Amazed at how reliant Villa have become on Rogers in such a short time period. If he struggles, we struggle. Ollie becomes isolated and we turnover possession too readily. No surprise that our recent drop off has coincided with him going off the boil. Lot of pressure on the lad.
