It was on the sky app.

Shows how neutrals see it.

I’m often accused of being negative but out of this little forum bubble, my view seems more in line with others.

Villa should win this game easily.
One thing Sky has demonstrated this season more than most is that they only parrot the same talking points and have little actual insight

How long were their pundits insisting that Frank was a good coach when it was clear something was going horribly wrong? Pretty sure it was deep into November, possibly even December

Richarlison in the centre is a force
The one thing I’ve said about him is that he’s a far better presence in the box and better finisher than Solanke. I mean the bar is so ridiculously low but if we’re asking who we’d stick money on to score in a one on one between him and Solanke, I’m picking the pigeon. Solanke may be an all round slightly better player but I definitely think the Brazilian is more of a goal threat.

As I said though, bar very low.

Probably a discussion for another day, but I still can't get my head around the succession plan for H appeared to be Dusan Vlahovic

Not only as he looked like a Temu Haaland during his purple patch at (ironically) Fiorentina, but one look at him and you knew the passing resemblance to Darren Anderton was asking for trouble - as Juve have discovered

I suppose the one thing we can say is that there basically isn’t such a thing as a succession plan for Kane. Impossible really and the world is now finally realising why.

Though we should’ve done far better than thinking Richarlison and Solanke were any form of answer.

Typical Tel

but I believe he will learn

Hope we can keep this energy up

Unai will put on some top subs in 2nd half so we might be under the cosh
