@AVFCStatto Is there a bit of him believing his own hype? Always trying to play the Hollywood through ball or take it past five players. Learn how to play the easy pass or lay it off. Pick your moment for the sexy stuff.

I can't watch Morgan Rogers keep giving the ball away its actually pissing me off. #AVFC

@danbardell Feel like we’ve had some of these sorts of pre-seasons before, but hopefully just a blip on the road to greater things this time rather than a period of decline

The next 31 hours feel very important with regards to what the mood is around #AVFC’s season. Been an absolute cesspit of a summer, feel for people at the club, working under huge constraints, but it’s looking like panic stations. Game tonight and end of the window feel huge.

@RationalVillan @villareport @Tanziloic Username checks out. Champions league winner and quality player for £13m is great value for money. Will be a top drawer player in the Europa League. Won’t start every game, gives us options and better than Buendia.

@villareport @Tanziloic We shouldn’t have rehashed Coutinho’s song for him. He is not Coutinho 2.0 and if Emery really wants him we should all want him. Class player if you can get him about £12m that’s not expensive. He may well be taking a bit less money than he was on at PSG for a longer deal too. 👍

🚨 NEW: Aston Villa have made an offer of around €15m for Marco Asensio — PSG want €20m. The clubs are no longer too far apart & are optimistic about a positive outcome. @Tanziloic #avfc

@danbardell “He” being Emery!

@danbardell Maybe he’ll walk onto the pitch to announce a star signing like Big Ron in 92/93

Part of #AVFC’s problem across the first games is that it feels like off the pitch/PSR etc has bled onto on the pitch. Don’t look set, everything feels up in the air. Not a cohesive unit. Be glad when this transfer window is over.

@theavfcfaithful @SkyKaveh We can “afford” anyone we like, question is whether we are allowed to spend it

🚨Aston Villa are one of the interested clubs but there are question marks about whether they would be able to afford the asking price. @SkyKaveh #avfc

@J_Tanswell @FabrizioRomano Does that mean Asensio will likely now join?

AS Roma reach agreement to sign Leon Bailey from #AVFC. €3m loan fee & includes €22m permanent option after initial talks centred on obligation. Roma covering salary in full. 28yo flying to Italy tonight for medical Tuesday. Story after @FabrizioRomano nytimes.com/athletic/65514…

@theavfcfaithful @alanshearer When some banks went bust in 2008, new rules meant that they had to have a capital buffer to prevent future bail outs. If you asked the Villa or Newcastle owners to do the same to protect the club from ongoing losses, they could do it.

Spot on @alanshearer. Keep fighting the good fight. The “big 6” don’t want us there. The “premier league” don’t want us there.

@Total_Villa 1. Buy young and upcoming talent that is deemed good value 2. If immediately good enough integrate into the squad 3. If not immediately good enough or we already have squad depth, move out on loan. 4. Sell for profit or follow point 2 or 3

I don’t get our transfer policy. • Jaden Philogene • Kosta Nedeljković • Yasin Özcan • Andrés García (potentially) All of these players have been bought in and moved on in the space of months. If they’re deemed not good enough, what’s going on with the scouting? 🤯 #avfc

@AVFCStatto Sasa Curcic?

OK no-one is close with only one of the top 3 picked (Aleksandar Tonev). FIRST CLUE: PRE 2000

Quickfire quiz: Name the Aston Villa player who has had the most shots on target without ever scoring a Premier League goal for the club 👀 Winners get's recognition 🤣

@AVFCStatto 11

It is that time again... Here are Aston Villa's next six Premier League fixtures. How many points out of 18 will we earn in these fixtures? #AVFC

@J_Tanswell Did we use all the registration spots initially? As in yes we can only ‘replace’ 3 but will some not count as ‘new’ because we didn’t fill the original list?

#AVFC have to register its CL squad by this eve & can only add three new players. Means 2 of the 5 window signings will miss out. Andres Garcia likely to be one and I think Donyell Malen would also be likely (no info on this).In that case means the two permanent signings miss out

@johntownley11 @AVFC_News

Aston Villa will play either Sporting, Club Brugge, Atalanta or Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League R16. #AVFC

@danbardell Yes I think we have done well. Had a good plan for the game and created a few chances. Liverpool are always going to create some no matter how good you are. Those corners was like me playing EA FC, always concede when I get them too

We’ve actually done well, but the goal concession stings, especially as the same thing nearly happened again. Attacking set pieces look #AVFC’s best avenue of scoring but also a likely way of conceding. Ramsey just can’t stay fit, it’s becoming an issue. Still in this. #LIVAVL

@danbardell @RBarkley8 Agree he’s been good, but shouldn’t have to rely on that change to help control the outcome of games. I don’t know our best team at the moment, doesn’t feel like the players or Emery does either. However, I’m sure he’ll figure it out.

Will tell you something, #AVFC have missed @RBarkley8 coming on in the last 2 games. Has added composure and nous off the bench in many games this season which has helped tip the balance and contributed towards points. #UTV

@HLTCO Hopefully a statue of him standing on the cabbage thrown at Steve Bruce 6 years ago today

Can you imagine how deeply in love Aston Villa fans are with Unai Emery? He’s on his way to getting a statue at this rate.

@SabjiHunter He looks like a hot cross bun

The St George haircut #euro2024 #England

@johntownley11 Meanwhile you need to watch some Tom Hanks films

Unai Emery asked if he will watch Tottenham vs Man City on Tuesday night: "I will watch a match tomorrow - the one from tonight. Then I will watch Crystal Palace for Sunday." #AVFC

Please don't suffer in silence. There is 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 somebody that will listen.

@louisdebono2 I agree. Perhaps the change of goalkeeper and Tielemens coming off affected that. Without that we could’ve carried on as we were and won.

@daveclem81 I’ll take the result tbh but I feel like if we just kept playing as if it was 0-0 we could’ve won that game

What ever happened to this Villa where we’d keep going at them when we go 1-0 up
