Real main character energy from this referee #avfc #utv

Peru absolutely losing their heads here. 3 red cards as they fall to another defeat. Wouldn't have happened on Gormley's watch

Watching the Sudamericano U17 and Perú have a midfielder called Sean Gormley

Ollie Watkins the first player since the 1960s to hit 100 goals for Villa. Might not be having the best season but think that speaks volumes of what he's done for us.

Probably been said elsewhere but should this fixture be dubbed the Spaghetti Junction Bolognese derby? #avfc #utv

Thank god Bologna can't defend corners... #utv #avfc

Jonathan Rowe's performance deserved a goal. Tormented Cash all night and so so half-hearted from Bailey there. Bet Emery will be fuming with that. Gives Bologna a lifeline.

World class save from Emi

@handofpod.bsky.social What is behind the popularity behind Alan and Ian as names in Argentina? And at what point will they outnumber the amount of Alans and Ians in the UK?

Can Vincenzo Italiano "wear his heart on his sleeve" if he's wearing a sleeveless gilet? #avfc #utv

HT: Bologna 0-1 #AVFC Safe to say Villa rode their luck. Toiled at times against man-to-man press (as Emery & Cash warned against yesterday), which has been compounded by poor passes & shaky defending. With all that said, it was entirely predictable they'd score out of nothing

Argentina off to a winning start in Sudamericano U17. Goytia and Alcaraz with a brace each

Tomas Aranda continuing to show that Boca might have a really special talent on their hands. Great in tight spaces and under pressure. Excellent use of his body and understanding of space to wriggle free and combine with teammates. Intelligence and maturity of a seasoned pro already

Argentina squad for U17 Sudamericano announced. Baroni the biggest name but lots of talent like Policella in there. Personally really looking forward to see Simon Escobar - very exciting left back

@handofpod.bsky.social with Panichelli doing his ACL, who does that leave the door open to being the striking alternative to Julian and Lautaro at the World Cup?

Por la mañana café Por la tarde ron Villa's number 8 Youri Tielemans

Weird and wonderful South American footballer names no. 187393: Platense 17-yr-old full back, Celias Ingenthron.

Really liked that performance from Bogarde. Looks so assured and confidence. Come on so far in the last 12 months. #avfc #utv

Impressive performance considering the chronic ear infection that affects his balance

@handofpod.bsky.social which young players have impressed you so far this season? I've really liked Baroni at Talleres, Andrada at Vélez and Peralta at Huracán

All in on the Europa then...

And now a first senior goal - and what a way to do it. Beautiful slaloming run and finish by the teenager to put them ahead against Belgrano

Me putting all my eggs in the Europa league basket #avfc #utv

Love Watkins but you can now tell exactly what type of game he's going to have based on his first contribution. If it doesn't come off, his rock bottom confidence just sinks even lower. Sad to see #avfc #utv

The 5 mins he had on the left was about the only time we saw Rogers. Need to get our best player on the ball more.

Embarrassing performance, not helped by wrong selection decisions - both from the start and the bench. Absolutely limping towards the end of the season. Already feels like it's in the hands of the chasing pack + we're hoping they are as inconsistent as we are

One thing that really baffles me about us lately - especially with key midfielders out - is how little we get the ball to Rogers. Last few mins have shown why we need him on the ball as much as possible

We're not getting anything out of this are we

Buendía hobbling around like a man begging to be subbed off

A predictably frustrating first half. Rain, Pawson haven't helped. Have had enough chances to be ahead, but still looking blunt in the final third. Think we'll regret not starting Tammy. Cash/Sancho working well on the right at least.

Going to be a game full of mistakes due to the conditions. Need to make sure we take advantage of one before Wolves smell a point #avfc #utv

🧵 #AVFC Summer Recruitment 🧵 Clearly whether Aston Villa qualify for the Champions League is going to be decisive for our policy this summer. That said, there are some more general challenges, regardless of what competition we get into, namely: ➡️ Reduce the squad age ➡️ Reduce the wage bill

Not a great performance but who cares. Was all about the result and got the job done. Not many standouts but thought Bogarde deserves real praise. Kept Mitoma pretty quiet. Barkley made a big difference coming on + hopefully a confidence boost for Bailey too

Promising first 10mins but fouling broke up our rhythm and we got drawn into a scrap rather than a football match. Attack really disjointed, bar Sancho-Rogers link up. Missing our two best progressive passers.

Yep, van Hecke definitely a shithouse

That disallowed goal lays bare yet another fatal flaw of VAR. If it had stood, Brentford would have raged (and you'd have sympathy for them). If it's disallowed, we will rage (for lack of definite proof) [1/2]

Sheffield United fans rn

I mean, it looks like it's out of play but can they definitively say that ALL (not the majority) of the ball crosses the line? #utv

Exact scenario where Tielemans absence is going to felt so badly. I've seen how this goes... 🙇🏻‍♂️

Only took a few months. Looks like he's off to Cercle Brugge. Ideal first landing spot 👏🏻👏🏻

Might be "one of those things" in football / just bad luck, but can't help feeling the 'let it flow' directive might have something to do with lumps like Palhinha and Joelinton being allowed to hobble our best midfielders. Or maybe I'm just bitter/biased #avfc #utv

Amadou Onana vs Newcastle 89 minutes played 90% passing accuracy (28/31) 1 chance created 44 touches 6 passes into the final third 3 tackles won 1 block 2 clearances 2 interceptions 4 recoveries 4 ground duels won Ama was everywhere! #AVFC

Konsa's reaction to Emi Martinez going down there 😂😂

Absolutely love this Emi Buendía revival #utv

Football is back up and running in Argentina as the Torneo Apertura got underway last night. Going to try and do my best to chart some of the best emerging prospects First up: Giovanni Baroni (Talleres) Assist on his debut for the Argentina U17 international. Very interesting prospect

Pretty wild game, so end-to-end at times. Nervier than it should have been but lots of positives: ✅ Bizot superb ✅ Mings back and imperious alongside Lindelof ✅ Sancho at it ✅ Minutes in the legs for Onana ✅ No more injuries ✅ Duran draws a blank ✅ Top 8 secured with a game in hand
