How much did we spend on that bench? 😭

Milenkovic is not an Ange player surely? Zinchenko will probs come in for Williams.

Agree that he will love Murillo and has great options in central midfield

I don’t understand this villa “ambitious owners” argument. Progressing up the football hierarchy is hard it requires a long term strategy and consistently good decision making. It requires more than signing a load of washed up players on huge salaries and letting emery make all football decisions

For me the 6 to miss out are Maddison, Kulsevski, dragusin, bissouma, takai and kinsky.

Kinsky could be registered as emergency gk if anything happens to vic or austin. Can select luca gunter as the 3rd gk

Bringing on Bergvall and odobert helped but by then the damage had been done. We really missed Maddison and Kulusevski in this game. Solanke too!

Frank is still learning about the strengths & weaknesses of the squad. Sarr and Johnson had both been brilliant in the previous games but shouldn’t have started this one. Bournemouth are really intelligent and intense with their pressing. This game called for our most press resistant players

Lock him in the building and confiscate his phone until it is fully signed and sealed…

Have we gone past the Willian stage now? Didn’t he pass his spurs medical and still end up signing for chelski…

Can I ask why you are so anti P.O.K? I thought he was one of the more reliable spurs’ sources?

Biss has a higher ceiling but also a lower floor imo. Would agree that we should keep both and loan Archie gray. Would also be interested in seeing a double pivot of palhinha & Biss (with Biss playing the box 2 box role)

Given their Arsenal connection, I would have assumed that it was Vini dealing with Edu? Maybe it was and then Marinakis got wind of it and went apeshit.

I remember reading that Vini played a key role in pacifying West Ham’s owners during the kudus transfer

Such an aggy armchair fan. You channel so much anger into your posts. Atmosphere inside the stadium was decent throughout the game. Felt like a proper European tie. Surprised to hear that didn’t translate into the tv experience. Very surprised that you felt it was flat enough to post this bollocks
