Some thought Villa may again struggle,but they are flying with some astute signings and a positive Manager!!

Agreed, I thought Villa might struggle, but they have invested well by the looks of things.

So my three are Fulham, West Brom and ( here's the optimistic bit ! ) - Burnley / Sheff Utd / Newcastle

 


Old, Ungifted and White

Then we are back to asking ourselves will Roys anti football get us to safety again? Answer is probably yes. However as we all know, 1 or 2 injuries and we are straight back in it again not being able to score goals.

For all his shortcomings, we really cant let Sakho go. Cahill and Tomkins out for how long we dont know, we are thin at centre half. Looks like we need 4 half fit centre halves to rotate and see us through this season.

This month it seems.

Still cant let Sakho go though.

Or Dann.

Not Newcastle. Wherever we finish, they will be precisely one place above us!

To end on a less than positive note, I'm not sure who those 2 worse teams than us are now after this weekend... Fulham, WBA? Burnley maybe?
still early days yet! plenty of survival opportunities to come


As I said elsewhere, this weekends results are an aberration. Only a fool would predict based on that.

In 6 months time Sky will be showing a boring slot on where it all went wrong for Villa.

I thought we made a strong start in the market and got what we needed in early. I had thought that might be enough to just tip us over into the top 10. However, having watched Leeds, the improvements at Villa and Everton, the early success of Wilson at Newcastle and the dynamism (if vulnerability) of Brighton, I do now think we could do with one more signing of real quality just to give the team a lift and add some positivity.

Prior to Saturday the football had improved, but whether due to our or Chelsea's tactics we ended up with a huge chasm between defence and attack that we never managed to fill leaving Wilf and Ayew isolated. In the future, if we stick with 442, then we need that option of a target man to help get us out of defence (similar to what Burnley do). Whether that is Tekkers, or whether we sign a new big man, I think we have to be realistic in that sometimes we will need to be more direct. Personally I don't think Benrahma solves any of our problems. I actually think Walcott, despite his detractors, makes more sense simply due to his pace and the way we play.

I'll be hoping for more than expecting any news today

Villa have two things we don't have a creative midfield playmaker and an out and out goal scorer

Villa had better watch out, the last team to wallop Liverpool were Watford !

Now they are relegated and can't even beat Reading.

The club have done more than we could ask in the present uncertainties.

I agree we need more signings but personally think they are more likely from tomorrow onwards. How

However we do have Batshuayi on our books with an option to buy who was effective for us and it look like we will still have the tall powerful, great in the air Benteke who sadly for us never scores goals any more! We do have a creative playmaker in Eze. My entirely NNITK theory is that we will finally sign
Benrahma, who in time will start wide left, at which point Eze will move to central midfield as a floating no 10, and Wilf will go back to the right wing. I don't think Walcott will move to SE25 today, as we wish to get average age down. The likelyhood of my prediction coming true is.....answers on a postcard!

Villa are owned by Sawiris and Edens with a combined wealth of £9.2 billion and are investing heavily into Villa. Our billionaire owns have lost interest, if they ever had any.

Yes agree, 95% of premiership clubs are owned by billionaire, what I cannot get my head around is a club like Brighton who as from last year are £311 million in debt of gratitude loans from their chairman, only Manure have a bigger debt.
