I remember them being above mid table but after they beat Tottenham theyre now fourth and only 2 points off the top of the league. That means that if they didn’t lose to Nottingham forest or Everton they would be first. Ik they really haven’t had difficult match ups but it’s still very impressive.

    Symptomatic? Both starting CBs out. Most creative player, out. Gil and Lo Celso starting their first games in years. Bissouma out. Bentancur early out from a dirty tackle.

    But Villa are SO good. Ok 🤷‍♂️

        Stop. You can’t compare the injuries. Villa have a few, but Spurs are absolutely decimated. Udogie played, but he was clearly not 100% and nearly came off. You still had a real CBS, including Torres who scored. And 1/2 a goal xG isn’t nothing.

          A win is a win. The villa chances go in, which is what matters, and ange should have realised that with his current cb duo, he has to change tactics until romero is back

            Yup, a win is a win, but keep it in perspective. A win was a win for us against Liverpool…lol No, Ange isn’t going the change tactics and most of us don’t want him to change. Shit happens in football.
