Having watched Villa's defending against Arsenal Stevie G's time at Villa Park could be coming to an abrupt end before they slip too far down the table.

this is a funny framing imo because they're 19th

CLUB PHOTOGRAPHER - "Alright Andy, just hold the shirt up and smile."
CONCEPTUALIZATION (Medium: Success) - This shirt is the colour of a skyline illuminated with distant fire. Something deep within your very soul calls out.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY (Hard: Success) - You really need to get some tequila, buddy. Like, now.
SAVOIR FAIRE (Easy: Failure) - As you raise the shirt aloft, you inexplicably slip and fall, twisting your ankle.
PAIN THRESHOLD (Medium: Failure) - You feel the ligaments twist and crack, popping like caps from a child's toy gun. You won't be playing football this season.

lol nice

Unless Tuchel didn't want Sterling, Koulibaly, Fofana, Cucurella, or Auba for some reason, I don't see how that's possible. The rest of the signings were youth or Zakaria who is 5th choice CM

reading in one article that the pursuit of Gordon was a moneyball thing that Tuchel thought was stupid

also that if they can't get Potter they want Poch or Zidane

Kafka-esque. I suspect these people have no idea what a football manager is or does.

lmao they don't want a manager they want someone to explain the offside rule to them

Todd if you're listening I will explain football to you for a bargain price of $1m a year, give me a call

Thiago is just going to get injured again lol. Midfield definitely needs work for sure, keita and thiago are just not reliable. Missing out on Tchouameni sucked, I hope it was because he genuinely preferred RM to liverpool and not because the owners cheaped out on wages.

But the main problem is they look tired all across the pitch, can't blame them after going all the way in every competition last year. They need a break tbh.

yeah it's brutal. Longest season possible last year, short summer break, etc., means a bunch of injury-prone players pushing their bodies to the limit

theyve stopped responding to the caffeine pills

I mean he's a good coach and he'll probably do well if they give him enough time, the question is whether his good coaching translates from a smaller club where he's the boss to a bigger club where he has to manage superstar egos and demanding owners

translation: it is the fault of the scoozers

my translation is that they cancel everything and do official periods of mourning because they're worried about how many people would shrug their shoulders and move on if not forced to participate

I'd put him more in the Andy Robertson/Bruno/Kane bracket. Rudiger and Mane (And Diego Costa) were absolutely incredible at getting away with poo poo.

I remember Mane seeming legitimately surprised when he got sent off for knocking Ederson unconscious by kicking him in the head

We used to be a forum. A real forum. And now look where we are! We used to make fun of xG and now people are unironically posting xPL/90 and it's A loving DISGRACE!!!!
