Really? If this is true. That is true ku mental. What is the point of any of it then? How ITK is your source? if players are consistently conceding from set peices and not scoring from them why would they not want o practice this? Baffling if true. Does the manager not have any say in this?

I agree with completely. 👏

I mean it’s great to see them implode. But we are so bad I couldn’t care less. We have nothing at all to laugh at them about. Miles and miles ahead of us.

I’m not sure if this is taken out of context but if Van Nistelrooy has said exactly this, he is basically saying I give up, not my fault, sack me. Get this test gone!! Awful manager. 'We have to accept we are in a position now where every week we face a team better than us. I cannot ask players to do more than perform at the maximum of their capabilities. With the squad we have, it’s a huge mountain to climb to stay in this league. The situation we are in is alarming and the mountain we have to climb is huge

I’m not suggesting we could sign players of this ilk But this shows what successfully strengthening in January can do. Well done villa.

I really wanted this to work. But he is is making it difficult to defend. I know we haven’t got loads of class players but YOU NEED TO TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT!!!!!!!! Twat!!! we can’t score goals at all. Do some management

So ****ing true

Always be the case unfortunately

I think it will pretty much prem team, it will be same shape and same result. Can’t see the youngsters getting in either. They are only very young so not end of world. I think it will be just disappointing as I bet we learn nothing tonight. It’s will just be goijg through the motions.

Let them just enjoy the occasion I don’t think it’s about their performance, if they get any minutes then it’s about a message to other players in their academy that their could potentially be a pathway.

Roy Essandoh would walk into this side.

We have to remember that this is turkey. It would have been pretty much nothing up front or maybe even just option.

Despite being a legend, still having Jamie vardy is holding us back on and off the pitch.

Yeah agree to disagree. I see your point, but im talking about fa cup and off the bench. Not sure what harm It would do. I think not all scenarios are detrimental to his career as you suggest. It could also be a positive for him, for us, and others in the academy. This club needs some positivity and I think this would be a great scenario to generate some. There is just as much chance of it having a positive impact also.

Strongly disagree. If your good enough your old enough. Obviously I don’t know if he is. Impassible to tell but I don’t exactly trust the judgement of this club. Also not sure how it would ruin his care regardless of how he got on

Surely just give him a chance. Nothing to lose. Plus, if he is leaving, would this not up the compensation if he was one of our youngest ever players? I think he will be gone but might aswell embarrass our adult players and up his compo.

Massively unrealistic but throw everything at Michael Zorc and change the whole structure to in my opinion the sustainable option if not in top 6. Never happening but just give him full autonomy and the money he needs to change the entire structure, strategy and long term vision. Before anyone says, never happening I know.

This is madness if true and just adds to everything stale and stagnant at the club. As a fan base we always complain that we can never shift anyone on. Could it be that we have been getting offers and just turning them down. In last 18months is it not Thomas, mactee and Iverson that would could have got nearly 20 million for? That’s also 20 mill that is nearly all PSR profit. Complete disgrace of a club. The year is 2025 it’s mental we are still even discussing these average players, should have been moved on long ago. This club is horrible.

If we reject anything about 4 million we are literally mental.

Personally I think this is truly disgusting. Defensively he has had off games but the way he has been handled is nothing short of a disgrace IMO. Really poor

Disgusting club, disgusting DOF. It’s got to the point now that not JRs fault. It’s all top, he is t***. Useless.

Truly truly the pits. For me completely on top the Nepo baby. Hate everything we do now. Hate it.

He did. Crazy to be fair
