For me it's PL miles is the real issue and one would suspect the current squad is probably the lowest. I don't recognise this. but no worries. Are you talking Villa or us?

martin1905 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Our squad isn't young? I've heard it all now. @ROTG you've outdone yourself on this one, hopefully you do your usual though and try to keep it going, will be hilarious to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chara Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Off to the Trading Post so haven't read everything this am...need to comment on the candy issues! But will catch up on the important issue of the moment later. In the meantime..Mudryk and Stirling....both seem to have the built in "tricky winger" syndrome..the "I can beat all six defenders in front of me" ,,,:and will do eventually,,or next time",,,I think it's called "Wingers Wind",,,not the weather kind.

The hairy arse, Veeeeeeeeeee Deeeeeeeee and Gol-den Haaaaaaaaaaair are just the greatest parts to any song for me. Both great to sing along to though and I don't think any other club has anything close to either of them. One or two of the 'conductors' of the ditty are hilarious also.

My Blood Is Blue Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 If anybody is wondering why we have looked so shaky at the back all season, just have a look at the below, that's a list of the starting defence for every match this season, I've highlighted where the same back 4/5 have started consecutive games... it is not many and never more than 2 in a row. Also shows how Disasi is the only one seemingly able to stay fit!

No Martin the average squad overall may be young, however individuals are not. Both the dippers and wolves had 3-4 teenagers / academy players in their squad. Whereas Chelsea has zero teenagers. go check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re moving the goalposts again. No-one said any of ours were better just that they’re young with an average team age of 22 (last night). You’re obsession with the dippers “young” players is slightly worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Blood Is Blue Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 59 minutes ago, paulw66 said: I salute you are you bored? I was waiting for a meeting to start and it’s been on my mind that I’m sure we hadn’t played the same back line consecutively much or even at all this season, which will not be helping the confidence of the defence or the form… add to that most of them haven’t played together before and have had 2 brand new keepers behind them, it’s not a surprise we’re not rock solid back there… not even solid to be fair.

paulw66 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Aside from the general good performance, some other points: 1. Gusto was superb 2. Disasi was superb 3. Gallagher, great goal, should have had 5 or 6 by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulw66 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 5 hours ago, Max Fowler said: Okay - we’re not really disagreeing. It’s just Villa were clearly nowhere near their best and that wasn’t just because of us. Every Villa fan thinks it was one of their worst performances this season and they look tired. They don’t think, “wow Chelsea played well and put us in our place”. It takes nothing away because it is a realistic view of last night and not a trap that we keep falling into - that one good performance will save our season. Nobody ever does.

Dwmh Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 10 minutes ago, paulw66 said: yes, but in one game against Liverpool they had some younger players. Which is the way to do it, introduce they young players against some mid-table team mixed n with 8 or 9 experienced players. Go wild about the one that plays well, ignore the others. We used to do that all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
