The problem with Carragher's comments is that people who don't follow the Premier League closely might assume we're just a small club with no real ambition and any team can just take our manager from us #avfc
The Iceman ๐ง
Aston Villa is delighted to announce that Victor Lindelรถf will remain at the club until 2028, with the club exercising an option to extend his existing contract by a further year.
Some of the positives from this game:
Alysson - thought he was really bright, took his goal well, winning his duels and looked a real threat
Harwood-Bellis - I thought he done really well, calm on the ball and winning his duels and especially at right back
If youโre still feeling the United result:
- Bournemouth we didnโt turn up
- Fulham was a bad game but still got a point
- Barca we were NEVER winning
- United got a point but feels devastating
As fans the last 4 games feel awful but take away Bournemouth and Barca which wonโt mean much at the end of the season and add the games 7/9 games we won it doesnโt look as bad
Since picking back up form weโve got 12/18 points and weโve played United (A), City, Newcastle (A)
Also played 3 out of the current top 4, leaving us with a good run after international break
(Not to mention weโre 6th in the UCL after playing our Pot 1 (A) fixture)
We always have these moments under Emery where we donโt play well and results feel damming but the season always ends with us in a good position
Trust Emerys process and UTV
Now Iโve had time to properly calm down and digest it, it really did feel like a game of four quarters.
โข Started both halves well and looked sharp going forward when we committed.
โข Took our chances. Jackson on the scoresheet again and Alysson looked good too.
โข Too much sideways passing and not enough through the middle.
โข Defending was poor overall, particularly once we had the leads.
โข Kamara had a poor game.
โข Suzuki made a couple of decent stops
earlier on but got caught out at the late corner.
โข Going 2-0 and then 4-2 up, only to fail to see either lead out, is the bit that stings most.
โข We gave them far too much respect against arguably the poorest United side Iโve seen, and still couldn't win at Old Trafford.
I'm not entirely convinced by the six minutes added on, and there's a strong argument that the equaliser should have been ruled out. But ultimately, we allowed them to keep coming at us.
We're still in transition and these things take time. Use this international break to tighten up defensively and work on controlling games when we're ahead.
Two points dropped. A game we should have won, and one that should have been put to bed long before the final whistle.

๐ฃ๐ต Thoughts on Zion Suzuki
He's a young man. Very young for a keeper. We were ALL excited about his positives, which at such a young age mean he'll be some keeper for us. But the last few games have reminded us of his age & inexperience. Let's not get on his back now.

So many positives to take from the game. Alysson was very sharp, and Jackson was doing his thing. We scored 4 but itโs just the way it ended that hurts. So much to be frustrated about.
Anyways, onto the international break. Weโll be good. UTV

We simply cannot do it at Old Trafford. Going 4-2 up and still managing to throw away the lead is absolutely unacceptable.
What are we doing? Why canโt we control a game when we have the advantage?
The way weโve thrown this game away is disgusting .

Going 2โ0 up and then completely losing control of the game like this is unacceptable. It's almost as if the players switched off after scoring the second goal. Frustrating
