Aston Vile 0 v 1 Wolves - The Verdict Thread

Not for the want of trying, but Jota is just making poor decisions. He seems to do this when coming back from a break and it takes him several games to get his brain sharp again.

Neto is there waiting to take his place and probably should have given his impact in the first two games. Jota shouldn't expect his place in the team. A bit of competition won't hurt and may actually sharpen the mind. Plus he can easily have an impact impact off the bench as well.
 
I wouldn't necessarily blame Jota for the miss today. He must have been as shocked as the rest of Western civilisation that Nyland did that.

Saying that, I really wouldn't complain about Neto getting an opportunity against Arsenal.
 
That miss is neither here nor there, for me. He had time to think about it but he couldn't really know that. Should still hit the target, though.

For me it's more that he's hitting a wall around the eighteen-yard box. Not really getting in behind, not beating a man, not playing a killer pass. It will come, but for someone so talented and hardworking, it's frustrating that he has these spells.
 
As far as Villa fan's opinions go, there's thinking incorrectly they could have got a point, then there's this delusional nonsense!

Three games, three wins, three clean sheets. Can't ask for more than that. Also the three games were a good warm up for the challenges ahead.

Don't mind admitting I was wrong. I thought three draws were more likely than three wins.
 
The vast majority of posts on VillaTalk seem to accept we are a really good team that didn’t have to get out of first gear to win.

"If you accept we are down - we probably don't won't west ham down with us.!

Yes that's a fair point. Bit like we were all laughing when Newcastle got relegated again at VP but with getting Benitez full time it basically meant a promotion spot was already sewn up and they got nearly 100 points I think.

West Ham would lose key players like Rice but yeah would be more confident of finshing above Norwich and Bournemouth (who'd need to massively rebuild as they'd be in major financial trouble given what they've spent) if they're the other two to come down."


If you accept you are down, with the amount you spent getting up in the first place, the FA are going to totally roger you stupid mate and you may end up in League One :icon_lol:
 
Villa fan about a possible new manager...

"I'd give it to Pochettino and say if you can keep us up you can keep the job."

How fucking delusional?? :taunt:
 
After Liverpool we are the hardest team in the league to beat. That's some transformation in three years. Awesome. We also know how to beat bus parkers now.wonderful.

Literally makes it sound like they're doing him a favour.

This arrogance personifies their fanbase and why some Wolves fans despise them regardless of the last couple of years.
 
One of the things I do admire about Nuno is that while the other Prem managers have played with the 5 subs rule like a child with a new toy, Nuno has just carried on doing what works. Two subs yesterday, and one of those only for 5 minutes
 
Rewatching the game again today just reaffirmed what a comfortable win it was, where we never seemed to get out of 2nd gear.

Villa never really looked like scoring, and, although we didn't create too many clear cut chances, you always thought there was always a goal in us and with the introduction of Traore, duly responded within a couple of minutes.

We are such a well drilled team now, we are so damn hard to score against, something we've probably never seen in a Wolves team.

Interestingly now, we've beaten the bottom four twice for 8 of our 13 wins for the season - such a stark contrast to last season where our inability to put the lower end teams cost us.

MOTM - Donck, closely followed by Jonny.
 
Interesting how Daniel Podence seems to be following the same path as Donk and, I suppose, Adama. Signed, and then seemingly taught to play the way Nuno wants.
 
Watching the re-run this morning - the celebration of Jiminez when Dendoncker scores was not one of someone looking to leave the pack anytime soon.
