We were great on Sunday, really showed the best of lots of different aspects of our game. Played great stuff, but also dug in. One of those great team performances, where everyone did their job. Difficult to pick out a man of the match as there were quite a few top performances. #avfc

What does the Monchi exit mean? Is it that Unai has seen poor recruitment, combined with a collapse in player morale, and decided that Monchi is largely to blame for that? Or is it a sign that everything is starting to fall apart? The 'tight knit triumvirate' has unraveled. We'll find out very soon.

Is tonight the night that things start to turn for #avfc? It's a great opportunity: less pressure, chance to try a few different things with selection and structure, redemption for a few weeks ago. It could be the jolt we need. Hope we play with a bit more freedom, pace and zip.

Apparently we're after Will Osula? I know nothing about him, so looked him up. At this point, you just have to find it funny. #avfc

I think one of the most concerning things is the shift in mentality. Tyrone's comments, both post-match and after the Ramsey transfer, seems to suggest that there are players that want out - and Ramsey wasn't one of them. It's not a happy squad right now, and I don't know how you fix that. #avfc

Not sure about you, but I'm struggling to keep up with the news today. In summary:

• Martinez is off to Man United
• We're replacing him with either Diogo Costa from Porto or Senne Lammens from Antwerp
• We're getting Lindelof in as backup CB
(Cont.)

Over on the other place (which, in a moment of weakness I had a look at in a desperate search for transfer rumours) there seems to be two opinions on the potential Asensio signing - 1) It's a brilliant move for a quality player. 2) It's a complete waste of money (and Coutinho gets a mention) (cont.)

What's going wrong down the Villa? A short* thread on our slightly shaky start to the season. And why there is still reason to be optimistic. #avfc

*Hopefully

Feels like things are really starting to speed up now.

Donk > Real Oviedo ✅
Bailey > Roma ✅

Cash > Forest ❓
Moreno > Girona ❓

Incomings:

Nicolas Jackson❓
Asensio ❓
Jaydee Canvot ❓

Anything I've missed? Our squad could look very different this time next week. #avfc

Thoughts for the season ahead - a thread. What’s in store for Aston Villa this season? We’ve made incredible progress under Unai - what can we realistically expect to achieve, and what should we look out for in 2025/26? #avfc

Hello Blue Sky. There seems to be a distinct lack of Villa content over here, so I'm looking to fill the void. I'll be posting tactical insights, transfer thoughts and over-the-top reactions to results here. Plus any other Villa-related nonsense. Can't wait. #avfc
