Yeah, it's a double edged sword, because the attack is better with Torres obviously, but the defense is significantly better with Mings. I really like Disasi so far though and feel a lot more comfortable with him back there than Konsa who I feel has been sub par this season though has started to...

All that Maatsen stock I bought from the other Villa fans looking to offload it is sure looking like a great purchase. Scored a goal (though I'm still not convinced that Rogers wasn't offside) and played great and is just such a better fit with Rashford especially, but also Asensio, because of...

See, I actually love kits with collars. It just feels so old school. Love a rugby kit with them too. I don't always like that half collar thing that a lot of the Villa ones have though. My favorite all time is still the 08-09 away kit where it was blue with black sleeves. I know it's not the...

Hmm, I've watched at least a decent amount of Chelsea this year, but I guess that's just not something I really notice. I kind of wish we did live in a world without shirt sponsors, cause it definitely looks clean. Every Villa fan wishes they could purchase the Acorns kits the team wears for the...

Never thought a 3-1 win in the knockout rounds of the Champions league would leave me so unexcited especially with how excited I started the match, but here we are! I feel like a broken record, but my goodness, Digne should not be out there if Rashford is our left wing. Rashford was just sitting...

Yup, also did a hell of a lot more defending than Ramsey did in the first half. My bigger issue with Ramsey this year than the fact that he can't quite get his offense going consistently is that he has gone from being a very strong defensive player to a non defensive player. We also should have...

The Ipswich match was so frustrating. It's almost as if we got caught off guard by them playing defensively and clogging the middle and thought they were planning on being expansive and attacking. It's an issue I've had this whole season with us seeming to go into most matches with the same...

My goodness was that Liverpool vs Villa match exciting. It's interesting watching Emery go with a very defensive, conservative lineup and gameplan to start against Ipswich and then against Liverpool send out the offensive firepower and a very aggressive attacking gameplan. Both teams will...

So I'm completely against the daylight rule as I feel like that would ruin the sport. You could not play a high line if they changed the offside rule to that degree. I do completely agree that it's an issue with trying to subjectively determine offside to the degree they do. I'm fine if they...

For a match with zero CBs on the field, 2-1 is a pretty low scoreline. Exciting match and all the available new Villans looked pretty damn good out there. Malen did a valiant job running everywhere for an hour. Our new RB looked solid. Rashford was playing in a way that said, maybe United is the...

The issue with VAR is they let the refs run it completely and they never wanted it in the first place. It's like when the police investigate themselves and always seem to find they did nothing wrong. The reason that video replay, while it has faults, is more positive than negative in American...

There was no VAR available in this round of the cup. If there was VAR, even with how horrible it is, there's no way it's not immediately overturned. This was so blatantly obvious that the only explanations are gross negligence/incompetence or match fixing. That lino should probably never work again.

United win on possibly the most egregious uncalled offside I've ever seen. For all my issues with the implementation of VAR, this is exactly why it exists.

Apparently PSG has offered Asensio to us as a loan for the remainder of his contract, so if things work out, we can basically re-up it for next season. I will say, that while Villa were very active in the January market, there is a huge net transfer positive based on the Duran sale and the...

Okay, it's on the website that the Disasi loan is official, so sigh of relief there.

Levy gets on a plane to try to personally close the deal with Tel - immediately reported that Tel will not go to Spurs Ange gets on the phone with Tel and calls him "mate" a bunch of times - Tel agrees to loan with option to buy I love how delusional Levy is in thinking he's the type of likable...

Just found out that our loan deal with RBL for Nedeljkovic includes and option to buy. What are we even doing??? I don't know why he hadn't been given a real shot this season considering he has looked good in his few appearances. Is it cause he doesn't speak Spanish???

Yeah, loan is fine, I just don't like that our transfer strategy this window seems to be, are you overpaid and hated by your fan base? Sign us up!!! Even if Mings comes back soon, we're still so light on CBs after selling Carlos. Swinkels is going on loan so that's our closest to ready youth...

And now we're apparently really in for Rashford and we still have yet to bring in a CB as it seems Chelsea have no desire to help a team they're directly competing with in the league and just strung us along. This window is testing my sobriety.

I thought Buendia was our best player in his only recent start, though that's grading on a steep curve since the rest of the team was lifeless. He created a one on one with Watkins and the keeper that absolutely should have been buried in the back of the net and a couple other really good...
