What forward line we have now, add Allyson, Garnacho and Hemmings to that and Whooopy.
The whole team played brilliant, extra shout out for Lindeloff and Wambasaka out of position but kept Greenwood quiet. Kamara was looking way more like himself, all over the park winning the ball. Perhaps Barkley had already been nominated as penalty taker, but shame Jackson wasn't given it for his hat trick, he certainly deserved it. Must say I'm blown away, by just how much ability Jackson has, can certainly score goals, but his other touches are great.
Great to see our German signing ( sorry still can't pronounce his name HaHa )get on, with his ability and experience I'm expecting a lot of him. Let's hope that this is the turning point, must say I can't wait for our next Newcastle on Saturday, play with that energy and pace, and we will have a good chance against anybody. UTV.

None of the new signings played well, again.
Complete transfer market failure, again.
Complete lack of strategy from the club.
No pressing.
The club and manager just keep getting it wrong.
I'm handing in my sesson ticket.
Perfect time to question the manager and management. Clueless.

DBS,proved a few wrong again hasn't he, when Joe Coal of all people, praising Emery and Villa, you know were doing something right UTV.

Exactly Dave. I still find it mind boggling that every season, as soon as we face a bit of adversity or poor form, the same old panic comes out from a small group.
That's not to say that tonights result doesn't mean that this season is going to be tough - we're a young, potentially brilliant team that will take time to gel and develop. I've said before that with the turnover in our squad coupled with an empty stand and a league that looks like it's going to be incredibly unpredictable, we could easily finish anywhere from 4th to 14th, but the long term vision and strategy is only going to get us competing towards the top in the medium to long term.
Frustrating as it is, in our position we might have to take one step back to take two forward, but we have some serious potential now. Whatever happens this season, next season, with a bigger and complete Villa Park could well be our best season for a long, long time. As long as we don't let a noisy minority hit the panic button.

From what I've heard there is some wiggle room to move in Jan if the right deal presents itself.there's are also one or two that nearly moved in the summer who could leave and be replaced, but I wouldn't be expecting more than one or two coming in.would love us to sign a top quality cb and one more slightly more creative cm, but Goreztka could turn out to be a big singing.
Who knows.
Will be interesting to see which direction they go with Garnacho too, with Allyson and Hemmings both looking seriously viable and Madjo still to come back in. Cpuld be another Elliot scenario. Loads of promising youth, which inevitably means a few ups and downs, but we have some serious potential to harness.
