@eversonmda @FearTheWall Nuno Mendes will be the best left back in the world in a few years

@Footy_In_NE_Fan @tacosszznn Yeah a goalkeeper being one of the 5 is rare. It was fun. Who cares?

@hands575 @tacosszznn There is a difference between having fun and milking the crap out of it..... Like come on "have you ever seen a goalie save and score a PK" cringe 😬

Seriously #NERevs.......are you gunna do anything?

@tacosszznn @Footy_In_NE_Fan Goalie PK is awesome no matter what. We knew going into the game we were almost certainly out. Just a bit of fun

@hands575 @Footy_In_NE_Fan What’s your shitty ass team doing other than celebrating like they won the World Cup after being bounced

@TyBracey Gave me flashbacks to that handball he got when the opposing player kept the ball from going behind the goal. Can't remember which game it was

Lucas Digne about to be the most hated man in France 😭

Performing WHAT?! 😂

@SebOnFootball At their best, that midfield trio was arguably the best in the league. It's what got us in the "title race" around Christmas last year. The problem was they were rarely fit enough to all play together

Villa losing Onana for the season and Tielemans, whilst Kamara is so injury prone feels massive. They need at least 1/2 in that area now

@TyBracey I watched every world cup game. He was easily one of the best young players in the tournament

I know highlight reels don’t paint the full picture but Johan Manzambi looks absolutely bloody magic. #AVFC x.com/backup335175/s…

@InvertTheWing You cannot say that because of one signing that isn't even official yet 😂

I think Villa are in the title race next year.

@Wayne306563731 @ben_bowman_ FIFA paying Onana's wages since he got injured for Belgium might be a big factor

@ben_bowman_ I’m sure Villa fans just spent 2 weeks convincing us they weren’t allowed to spend money 😂

The PSR twins are gonna turn on each other now

I can only assume Freiburg accept Klarna #AVFC

🚨 EXCL: Aston Villa in process of finalising move to sign Johan Manzambi from Freiburg. Newcastle United had agreement with #SCF but #NUFC lacked player approval. 20yo Swiss midfielder wants #AVFC & deal now accelerating towards conclusion @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/74360…

Nyland is a human EMP grenade

@SebOnFootball Konsa has a decent amount of experience playing RB at Villa. He played there a lot a couple years ago. But you guys need him at CB

Shame about James and Saka tbh, think Konsa and Madueke can do a job for first 60 though.

@eddieout101 @Rory_Talks_Ball Isn't Burn at LB for Newcastle anyway? Konsa is the more relevant defender who had a great record against The Haaland

@Rory_Talks_Ball Yeah let's not use a player with an excellent record against haaland when we're playing against haaland

Seen lots of people suggest bringing in Dan Burn from the start to combat Haaland in the air I disagree. It doesn’t matter how good you are in the air (see Gabriel), Haaland’s movement is what makes him a killer We’re also likely to be playing on the front foot, which means you’re leaving Dan Burn with Haaland on the halfway line, not a race I particularly want to see The time to use Dan Burn is if we’re 1 goal up late on, and have started defending in our own box

@WhatTheForkAVFC Yeah he definitely should be at CB but I think that genius Eddie Howe had him at LB for some reason. Point being, he wouldn't often come directly up against Haaland anyway

@hands575 Don’t really pay enough attention to Newcastle to notice, but i think he can play both CB and LB, yeah

Kelly (forget last name): He (Haaland) didn’t score against Aston Villa last season did he? Konsa: (laughs) I don’t think so. Kelly: what’s the secret? Konsa: No secret, i think, you know i really do believe in myself and my abilities, and what i can do as a defender. Everyone’s going on about Dan Burn though.

@coreycapoccia You know, I always rag on you guys when you say things like this because I just don't think any star wants to come sign for the Revs anyway. But if Salah actually went to Kansas City, you might have a point

We were told the Kraft’s care! #NERevs

Nice treat for Belgian fans to experience the life of an Aston Villa supporter with their main centre midfielders out injured. #avfc

Erling Haaland is not so keen on Konsa, who has been the Norwegian star’s Kryptonite at club level. In five League games against him for City, Haaland has scored just one goal across a total of 406 minutes. The last three of those duels between the two men have ended with Konsa on the winning team. Across his 90 minutes against Mexico in the Estadio Azteca, Konsa won all of his ground duels and made the most defensive contributions (eight) of Thomas Tuchel’s team. On the ball, he registered 93 per cent passing accuracy and 100 per cent accuracy for long balls. The centre-back finished the game as an emergency right wing-back after Jarell Quansah had been sent off. @Matt_Law_DT looks at why Tuchel loves Konsa ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…

@lbyahans It isn't, this was a friendly

How is the domestic league ongoing during the World Cup?
