Definitely mocking. But, the fact remains that PSR means most clubs have to be selling clubs. It’s a shocking system that needs addressing

Any player not following his instruction will be sold eventually.
🗣 Unai Emery: "If we want to be at this level, we have to score chances we had.

🔘 "Horrible in set-pieces.

🔘 "We're being demanding w/ players & some are not following plan we're doing.

🔘 "My mistake to play w/ two strikers - we lost positioning & control of game."

Someone said to me that if we’d lost 1-0 to Bayern but won 1-0 last night and were still in the position we’re in right now there’d be less people pissing their pants over it, and looking through my moody app timeline I can’t help but agree.

The negativity on there is actually draining.

Blue Monday is a piece of crap pseudo science originally part of a travel company's press release to sell holidays.

Can we all try to avoid rewarding marketeers, using this term, which tries to sell goods by parasiting on the back of real mental health campaigns.

I’m certain there was serious mental fatigue hampering things, particularly for Rogers. But mental fatigue can be lifted with one strike of the ball! It finally switched for Rogers and suddenly everyone’s touch and instinct is back. Psychology of sport, eh

Unai Emery thought the decision to deny Morgan Rogers a late winning goal against Juventus was "very soft".

Last season and before Boubacar Kamara's injury, Villa were fourth in the underlying metric of Expected Points (xPTS). After, #AVFC plummeted to 15th.

He's key to Emery's structure and no Villa player can replicate his subtle, intelligent excellence.

Think I may have overreacted marching to a police station to report a robbery at Villa Park last night. Goal should have counted, though.

Kamara made big difference. Bailey showing signs he's getting closer to last season's form. Rogers has hit his first dip in form - age 22, you expect it. #avfc

As someone who worked in a hip old record shop in 74, I curled a lip when I saw this but it pretty much gathers them all in. We can always haggle about position but some undervalued beauts in Stylistics, Spinners and BOC. Eno's HCTWJ is a cheat tho - that was 73.

Can only assume Pep knows something about the outcome of the 115 if he’s agreed to another year?

Knew they’d get away with it 😂

🟣"Huge" work undertaken, analysis focused
🟤Internal belief Villa have been on the right track at points in games but lost key details

Simple for England tomorrow at Wembley, win and we return to the A group of Nations League teams ( we were relegated to group B), meaning Italy, Germany, France etc.

Important to be playing these teams regularly if this young group want to win major tournaments.
