I thought that happened when 'Arry was linked with the England job?
Nah but they still have a great squad dont they, very simialr to what happened to us, MON left we went down the shitter. The same might happen here
did villa have a good squad, modric had a mediocre season as well, one player wont be the end of it all plus it was inevitable he was going to leave, as long as its not to an english team i don't mind.
Yeah
Freidal
Milner
Petrov
BarryYoung
DowningCarew
Dunne
Collins
Warnock
We had one of the best back lines in the country for about 3 seasons
When we were top 6ish we were challenging right up to around march which is when they used to run out of steam due to MON being a tactical muppet.
Did those two actually play together at Villa?
Nope, so I kind of should removed one of them, but I just listed all the good players that we had during MONS reign. I loved Milner the most
He is wasted at City
thats not a squad though thats 10 players, Yes good players but not a whole squad, i think that was the problem with villa was that the first 11 was good but the back up was not always good enough.
Yes mate, that was our problem, like I said we ran out of steam epically around march, we were clear 3rd in feb at one point, then we won something like 3 out of our next 11 odd games
very true, i always felt that was the prob as well with villa, the main players were pretty damn good but when you lose one or two if there are no good back ups then you have problems.
if modric goes spurs still have sandro,parker,huddlestone,jenas and livermore has improved although i am guessing if modric is sold spurs will buy a replacement. I actually liked Rakitic for croatia, he seemed a decent midfielder.
Thing is, if MON had rotated properly we wouldnt have had the problem, the games we won at a canter..take them off, he either dropped the whole team (for the cups) or didnt change anything, same sunbs at 75 minutes too, sidwell and heskey on for petrov and carew
The more I think about it the angrier I get, and how much I hate the bloke now, and before sandy destroys my fun, we were on the verge of what your lot achieved, instead we nearly ended up in financial oblivion
