Aston Villa Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2025/26

VAR took so long I was convinced they'd find something - we actually got benefit of the doubt

Now VAR, now!!!

Go back and look at foul on Tammy!

It was in same period of play that lead to goal

Of course not.

You can intervene when Bailey is 50/50 keeping ball in play vs Brentford, but wont look at why Tammy is sprawled out

Actually even more stupid, he's now booked the player for that tackle on Tammy, but hasn't given a fee or stopped game as they break and score

Bogarde ain't a back up right back, questions need to be asked, small money wasted on Garcia and the young serb?

Rodgers form off a cliff and still gets play, will do well to hold 6th

Nope, it's Mings playing left wing

How did they not score there, Luiz and Garcia getting in each others way….

5th surely by these evening, 3 off Chelsea (and potentially 4 off Brentford if they win at home to Wolves tomorrow 😐)

Ref didn't seem to signal anything, and attack almost immediately broke down, so I thought under new rules they could call it back for the free.

Utd scored in the same passage, so VAR should have at least queried it - but compare the time taken in awarding the goal (no check) to how long they studied Barkleys; or as I mentioned the famous disallowed goal vs Brentford when VAR went back to far end of pitch to decide that Bailey probably didn't keep it in

I mean it is Utd at Old Trafford, so we really shouldn't be that shocked.

We just need to somehow turn things around. As you say CSF, complete the job vs Lille and we are still in hunt for 1st trophy in years, as well as competing for top 5. Given depth of squad, Emery is working miracles, probably way over-achieved pre-Christmas so we've a warped perception of where we are.

But we really, really need to see a reboot happening soon

Today isn’t the bad stuff though. Everton, Brentford and Leeds at home and Wolves away are where it’s fallen down. West Ham next week is another game like that and it’ll be make or break.

Well we're still in top 4.

But as tweet below says, time for excuses is up, we have to start getting points

Two PL wins from 10 isn’t good enough need to repeat that 8 game winning run we had before Christmas.

Hope so four wins and the odd draw our goal difference isn’t great would be painful to lose out again should that come into play.

One option is to start Tammy over Ollie but yes if he doesn’t get the support it’s the same outcome

Be thankful Villa can't be relegated, this squad is awful and the the manager is persisting with players totally out of form. It's an embarrassingly poor Premier leauge and the fact Villa find themselves in fourth is laughable. Liverpool are a shambles, Manchester United are not much better, Chelsea are a freak show and Villa will finish behind all of them

Happy with that lineup
