@AlyssonSZN Emery prefers him over Maatsen because Emery can't bear to see players taking risks. Far too tentative and it's the reason we play dog shit in most big games.

Digne hate slightly over the top
He has been decent for us in recent months
There’s a reason why Emery seems to trust digne more than Maatsen #AVFC
English
@BraddersOak Been saying this for ages. You can add City away last season to that list as well
English
After the Olympiakos, Palace and Man Utd conservative bottle-jobs, we HAD to be positive tonight. We weren't and were second best in a big game, yet again. No tempo, momentum, drive, purpose or quality. Created nothing and deservedly beaten. To some, it's not a surprise. #avfc
English
@Alex_Berwick Talk about over analysing
This could have been our 11 last night
Watkins Rogers McGinn Sancho Onana Youri Maatsen Pau Konsa Cash Martinez
But Kamara is the reason we played like shit? The sooner people just accept that Emery doesn't have the bottle in these big games the better
English
One last thought on Villa. I think we sometimes get hung up on the wrong things and wonder what our record is when we’ve fielded Kamara, Onana, Tielemans & McGinn.
Spoiler, I bet it’s good….
That box is the ‘elite’ part of our team. #avfc
English
@JayVtid All down to Emery by the way. Doesn't have the courage or the trust in the squad to have a go and try and win these games convincingly. Always been far too pragmatic and tentative in these big games
English
If Onana is out.. #avfc
Watkins
Rogers McGinn Sancho
Youri Luiz
Maatsen Pau Konsa Cash
Martinez
SweezyAV@SweezzyAV
If Onana is out next week, drop Mcginn into the 8, put Youri in the 10, drop Buendia and put Sancho on the right with Rogers on the left
English
Emery might be the biggest "away game" bottler in football.
Have we ever put a decent performance together in a big away game?
Too pragmatic, too tentative and shite football every single time #avfc
English
People still talking like this in the big 2026. It's boring now. Grow up

White privilege is so real because imagine this is Marcus Rashford
English
@TotalVilla_ What are you going on about? Left back the absolute least of our worries going into next season
English
If the right opportunity arises in the summer to sign a first choice left back, we should look at it.
Lucas Digne will be 33 in July and I don't feel Ian Maatsen has shown he's at the level to be our outright starting LB yet
This is a luxury move though, not a priority #avfc
English
🚨 #AVFC will close the North Stand for the entirety of next season in order to accelerate plans to increase Villa Park's capacity to over 50,000 by the start of the 2027/28 season.
Villa Park's capacity next season is expected to be roughly 37,000.

@Villaton10 @utv_aston More of a reason to go.. Play under Dean Smith or Pep Guardiola? 😭
English
@utv_aston Probably because we are in a better position now than when JG left it felt like he buggered off with no care
English
If he leaves what’s stopping him from getting the Grealish treatment?
Sky Sports Premier League@SkySportsPL
Aston Villa are in a strong position - with five years left on 23-year-old Morgan Rogers' contract meaning he will be one of the highest-valued players of the summer 👀🚨
English
@TotalVilla_ We've got Youri, Onana, McGinn and Kamara who can all play that position. How much cover do you want?
English
In the summer, I think we NEED to sign a Boubacar Kamara backup.
He hasn’t played much more than half a season for us yet and the drop off without him is HUGE.
From what we’ve seen of Amadou Onana, I don’t think he’s a number six and needs someone like Kamara next to him #avfc

@kathrynxjane This you using jet fuel to watch a game of football?

If you didn’t already think we should be selling Rogers this summer then you’re an idiot
Rogers, Watkins, Martinez, Bailey and Onana gives us £200m+ to rebuild our attacking options with maybe Sancho in on a free #avfc

When a player changes agent you know what’s happening…
English
Nothing invalidates a football opinion quite like recency bias
sam⛷@sambrazy
Van De Ven. Rogers. Baleba. All frame zero talent footballers
English
If we had the courage to sell Watkins to Arsenal and had a manager that actually trusts his players, this could have been our front 4 last night with £40m sat in the bank...
Club is an absolute mess #avfc
Malen
Sancho Rogers Diaby
English
Let's stop blaming PSR lads.. is getting extremely boring
Our recruitment and management of players has been fucking awful.
We spent €60m on Madjo, Alysson and Guessand and we're still starting 8 players that started under Gerrard #avfc
Catty Mash@18AVFC74
Some of our fans are utter retards. Calling for Emery's head is the most brain dead response I've ever heard. Yes he got the team selection wrong, but we're 4th in the league having spent fuck all and having 3 of our best players out injured. #avfc
English
Transfer strategy the last couple of seasons has been fucking diabolical.
Couple that with a manager who can grind out results with the right players, but can’t coach good football, and this is the result. It’s very very simple and you could see coming a mile away #avfc
English
@tysomate @TheVillaWatch @AVFCOfficial I mean, whether he’s the right man or not, to say “look at him now” when his whole team has been decimated is ridiculous
English
@TheVillaWatch @AVFCOfficial Yea he did, but where is he know, how are they doing? He got everything he wanted and still is struggling. We need to cement ourselves in consistent European places which he has never done
English
Leaving the stadium, sack him immediately and see if Glasner will start tomorrow morning @AVFCOfficial
English
Emery’s teams don’t play good football.
Ye, you get results because he’s tactically great, but you’ll never get consistency in performances. That’s ultimately why we always fall short and why he’s never made it at an elite club.
That and his pure stubbornness #avfc
English
@TotalVilla_ That's why it needs criticising. We had a £50m offer on the table for Watkins and we didn't have the courage to make tough decisions, even though Malen clearly showed that he could step up in his place until we found a replacement.
English
The problem with replacing players people want to move on (Watkins, Martinez, Digne, Buendia, Bailey etc) is that the level of replacements people want will cost more than we’d receive for them.
For example, a Watkins replacement would cost more than we’d get for him 💰 #avfc
