Major new contract for Rogers another six years, obviously shows commitment on both sides, nothing said about buy out clause, only tine will tell if he's here for the long term, remember Jack's buy out clause helped us financially.A lot of our keys players have singed new contracts which has to be positive.

Watkins left out of latest England squad then.
Correct decision for me.
Ollie looks to be struggling and carrying the weight of the world and expectation on his shoulders.
Had a good pre-season, possibly his best at Villa but something is clearly amiss.

It’ll either be a wake-up call or dent his confidence even more. Either way, something needs to change 🤔

Concerning Elliott, if the we have to buy him after 10 games is right, can't understand how we've even accepted that . Buy at the end of the season if acceptable, but after 10 games is ridiculous. That put's unacceptable pressure on both club and Elliott .
07 Nov 2025 11:57:43
I don’t think we need to worry Emery won’t give him a game let alone 10. It looks to me as if he just doesn’t fancy him don’t know why every time I’ve seen him he looks really good to me but what do I know 🤷🏻♂️

Morning.
Really odd evening. As many have said, focus ended up being far more on politics than on 90 minutes of action on the pitch. Never seen so many police at a football game, but they were very friendly and chatty. Protesting I saw was peaceful and engaging. But a really quiet and flat atmosphere both outside and inside the ground.
As for the game. Largely flat tempo and slow play. You could see, especially in the last 10 mins of the first half, that when we put our foot down, we could cut through them at ease. Shame we only did that in fits and starts. But, that said, in what was an incredibly awkward fixture for all sorts of reasons, we still won.
Shout out to the Dutch lads - Malen, Maatsen and Bogarde were the best players on the pitch for me. And we got to see a rare thing - a Villa penalty scored!
There is a player somewhere within Guessand. I can understand the critique he gets, but I feel that he will come good. This is based more on hope than evidence admittedly, but fingers crossed.
Lindelhof is not a RB. Far too exposed with him playing there against pace.
Poor Harvey Elliott. If he can't get a kick in that game then we've clearly given up on him. I wonder if there is something in the 'once he's played 10 games we have to buy him' rumour? Clearly Emery does not fancy him.
On to Sunday. Flat tempo and slow play will get picked off for fun by Bournemouth with their energy and non stop press. I'd expect to see a starting line up something like this.
Martinez
Cash / Konsa / Torres (fit?) / Digne
Onana / Kamara
Buendia / Rogers / McGinn
Watkins
Also Malen might start?
Great to see Youri back.

Great post.
Highlighting the positives and also identifying some of the issues, eg. slow play.
Guessand is surely a better player than we've seen so far and for £23m we should expect a lot more from him. Sometimes players struggle to settle at a club and this might be one of those.
The 'Elliott' question is an interesting one. Only Emery knows the truth, at the moment.
Sancho looked a bit better last night.
Bournemouth will provide an altogether different proposition.

We won, up to Sixth, what a beautiful goal by Maatsen, how did he get that in, from that angle. At last we've found a penalty taker, if he's playing . Great to see Tielemans back, and what a great couple of passes he played . The commentary on Amazon was quite good, they raved about, Mr versatility Bogard, also they said, as we have continually, Villa look at their best, when playing the ball faster .
When we have another game on Sunday, you can understand the squad split . Hope Toms lovechild Torres, was only taken off as a precaution. Sancho still got things to prove, but at least he looks interested, still can't understand the Elliot saga, feel so sorry for the kid .
On now to Sunday and Bournemouth, will be hard game but winnable.UTV

I'M SORRY DID WE WIN 🤔🤔🤔
07 Nov 2025 06:51:57
That's why you don't see many posts Dave.

Good result but not a great performance however that said certain positives did come out of it. Firstly what a relief to see Tielemans back in the side we were more creative in the minutes he was on the pitch than the previous 60 odd minutes. Secondly Bogarde gets better every time I see him at 21 he could be part of our midfield for years to come. However on the debit side Lindelof at right back is poor he is one paced and offers nothing going forward and I'm sorry Lindelof and Guessand on the right hand side will cost us big time if deployed against stronger opposition.
The one thing which I think is a definite is we won't be signing Harvey Elliott if he can't get into the starting XI against Maccabi then I don't see him starting at all and if I'm honest I don't understand why, he is definitely a better player than Guessand and Sancho yet he can't get a start but Unai must have his reasons.
06 Nov 2025 20:49:36
Absolutely dreadful. Shocking team selection and those that are playing are not putting anything like a performance.
Be lucky to get a draw out of this.
Surely wholesale changes for the 2nd half.
06 Nov 2025 21:08:43
74, not for the first time a slow boring half, Guessand is probably one of our worst signings for the money. Sancho does very little. Hopefully we will pick up in the second half and put the game out of reach.
06 Nov 2025 21:19:36
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
06 Nov 2025 21:54:59
Not sure why your laughing Daz this has being a shocking performance, we had 3 or 4 good moves in the whole game and luckily we got 2 goals, this team we are playing against are 1 of the worst teams I’ve ever watched play and we simply can’t open them up and all, all this backwards play is horrible
06 Nov 2025 22:32:04
Daz with the greatest of respect the points made by the chaps above yours are spot on. Really pedestrian performance overall, went in 1 up quite fortunately.
Rightly been pointed out that Guessand is miles off it in terms of quality we need and he’s cost us £27m to boot. Sancho another perplexing signing who personally I’ve never been a fan of and the Elliot signing is a joke. The manager who in my opinion has plenty of credit in the bank still must take responsibility for the recruitment along with Mr Monchi who has now parted ways, dummies were spat regarding the PSR situation pre season but we really haven’t helped ourselves with the recruitment.
Pointing out flaws or concerns which have substance don’t make people less of a fan or fickle etc.
Form has picked up overall granted and we’ve put some decent performances in, particularly City but there are still some glaringly obvious issues that need to be addressed for us to be challenging for Europe via the league this season.
3 points is a positive in what was a really strange event overall with all the nonsense that came with the fixture.
One huge positive was the return of Youri who’s creativity and ability to pick penetrating early forward passes will benefit us massively going into the run in up to Christmas.
06 Nov 2025 22:58:47
What on earth do you expect? We've dominated the game, granted they've had a good chance but come on. the game was always going to be scrappy given the backdrop. On to Sunday.job done tonight!
07 Nov 2025 06:50:29
And with the greatest respect to you Dan where are their posts when we win? No where to be seen as per, Always moaning always playing the cry wolf card when someone confronts them about it.We won a game that had more significance off it than on it against a team that wanted to prove a big point .Yes granted wasn't pretty but we bloody won what more do they want.
07 Nov 2025 06:51:20
Whack I was laughing because as soon as they typed we scored that's why!
06 Nov 2025 20:38:20
Guessand is awful how is he a professional footballer like babi on ice clueless player can't have a winger who offers nothing attacking wise bring back Bailey
