Aston Villa banter 8

This isn't rotation tom it's suicide with defending to match. Obviously we will see nine changes again on Saturday,If we had a decent left back on the books it would be ten.

BOGARD 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬.

He's absolute rubbish Dave.
Utterly disappointed with Goretzka aswel, maybe he needs time to get back up to speed but I fear he is a spent force having failed to impress in his previous substitute appearances.
I feel THB will be much better with a proper right back outside him, he was far from the worst player on the pitch.
Bizot was totally shocking with the ball at his feet, I fear we will struggle when Suzuki goes to the Asian Cup.
felt sorry for Madjo he had zero service, will he fit our system with a full first team I'm not sure, if not we will make a profit selling him. I'm still waiting to see Garnacho do something great but I fear we probably won't ever see it in a Villa shirt.


there were a few positives, Allyson looks like he's got the attributes to succeed in the PL, I was impressed with Gomes, carried the ball well, made some good passes and showed some nice footwork.
The team that Emery picked showed that it wasn't anywhere near a priority, and if it were even slightly high on Emerys list he would of made changes at half time, I'm not real disappointed that we lost and are out of it but I am disappointed with some of the individual performances that I mentioned above.
I'm expecting a strong performance at the weekend with players after bring rested. we move on to more important things UTV.

Some good points to take out of that, Goretzka, Bellis looked ok, Garnacho full of running when he came on, and Allyson going to terrify defences with his pace and power. Gomes looked good, felt sorry for Brian hardly got a touch, not one of Buendias better nights, and I think Bogard will be on their Christmas card list, for that third goal.

just goes to show depending on the mix, our second eleven not strong enough.
Let's get back on it against Fulham, ( what a ridiculous time that is.) UTV

PS Sorry Tom, but I think Mings had a good one, lost count of the blocks he made. UTV.

Good points there was nothing good about 2night dave,we need new a top class cb to replace konsa and another winger garnacho isnt good.

28 Oct 2026 21:36:53
Better beat Fulham now that was a disgrace it was a cup i wanted to win aswell,i thought winning breathes confidence.

28 Oct 2026 21:30:37
Feel sorry for the 1,300 poor sods who travelled down there to watch that.

59, Travelling fans should get their money back if there was any fairness after that woeful showing. I'm glad I chose not to go in the end, suspected this would happen,gave my ticket to my brother, probably won't speak to me for a while.


We obviously need defenders asap especially as the games come up quickly, injuries will cripple us if we don't get some decent recruits in as backups. Tonight proved that non of the defenders who started are good enough as cover let alone starters.

29 Oct 2026 15:48:17
Mings and Harwood Bellis were ok. Goreztka needed the minutes. Madjo couldn't get into the game and Buendia was awful. We still missed good chances. Definitely had an eye on Saturday and of course Tuesday. We don't wanna get battered in Barcelona.

28 Oct 2026 21:06:20
Only 1 keeper I've seen worse than Bizot at the Villa and that was Nylan.

29 Oct 2026 08:40:41
We'd be better off getting Stockdale in as a number 2.

28 Oct 2026 19:56:48
9 changes with a chance to get in quarter finals not happy with line up, i know league form is good, but play our best players for 45 mins with a bit of luck who knows could get to the final or win the cup, theres not many chances to win cups very annoyed tonight.

28 Oct 2026 20:56:56
Yeah not a fan of massive rotation.

28 Oct 2026 21:14:58
Thank god its not the starting 11 shocking display also we so need a top2nd class gk cos suzuki gonna be missing for a month ud go ramsdale as number 2 gk.

28 Oct 2026 21:17:32
What and risk injuries get real.

28 Oct 2026 17:30:05
I see keith hacket complaining about villa again, this time its over the Maatsen penalty incident. should of been a penalty he says, what an idiot. maatsen never touched him, in fact for me it was a free out after the attacker stands on mastsen.
