Aston Villa (h) - Instant Reaction (Audio Fixed)

Anybody know when the proper thing is coming???

Clive stepping UP

Eric Burkley

We now have Odegaard, pepe and martinelli for our cup games. Got some good depth now

Strange how all 3 were predicting a close score and not the one sided match we witnessed. Don’t agree that Tavares is better than Tierney. The former played well but the final ball needs improvement which will come over time

I really don’t think we’ll be forgetting about Xhaka any time soon

AARON RAMSDALE, HES BETTER THAN YOU

👍😎

Watch Clive on Sky Sports here: https://youtu.be/U8Q7e4kchEs

Could you post their interview on here, the pub was too loud to hear? Great pod as per!

Clive’s bit about Kola and Hector had me rolling 🤣🤣

Sounds like a chameleon team to me

He was top and balanced the team! Pepe can’t be on the right touch line like Bukayo.. Yeah man, stock falling convo was harsh, completely agree!

Lovely pod. Don’t know if it came across on TV but in the ground you can really start to see great chemistry and camaraderie between Ramsdale, White and Gabriel. Something to build on...

4-4-2!!!!

Clive stealing the show from Neville and Carragher 👌

It is QUITE clear that having a midfielder slide into the left back spot is dumb as fuck. Keep midfielders in the MIDFIELD. Lokonga is a fantastic player that got caught out one time this season and has been slandered for basically being a left back this season. Keep him in midfield and we will forget about Xhaka.

Great pod. Especially Clive's electric half time message. I like Elliot's theory that maybe Mikel just figured out how to loosen his tactical grip a bit. But here's another (half baked) theory. What if Arteta is trying to build a multi-tactical team right from the start? A team whose Plan A, Plan B, Plan C, Plan D are all equally natural A team that can press high, or can monopolise possession for10 minutes; a team that can do lightning counter attacks, or precise side-to-side build ups capped with an ødegaard caviar pass; A team that can outmuscle Burnley, or who can can take their lead form saka and smith-rose and skip around every tackle; 3 at the back, 4 at the back....etc It's a bit of a mad idea, and massively idealistic, but so is Arteta, maybe?

Saka stock falling? You could tell they were shit scared of him. Mings immediately letting him know he was there and getting booked for it told me they were targeting him to stop him playing. He attracted 2 men to him when on the ball a lot too, especially in the 1st half.

Sambi is excellent. In addition to good vision, he has that disguise pass which hides the timing of release that buys extra time. Once he can add zip to his passes and not slow poke it - he will be next level midfielder. Nuno can underlap and can cut in with right foot which adds extra dimension compared to Tierney.

Great job! And Clives appearance was epic. We could do with more non-traditional broadcasters on TV

I like to call these, "The good times."

Clive what a legend

Thanks Elliot!!

It's nights like this when the intro music makes all kind of sense

Fixed. Thanks boss!

Great job Elliot 😎
