Sir Mikel OBE

We just appointed a new manager, and this thread is still on the first page? Have people bailed already?

Absolute monster in the midfield today.

Holy shit he's back and playing like a man possessed! Like he has been sitting in a padded room waiting for his return. Looking absolutely brilliant

To be fair though Villa hasn't looked too bad going forward. They are just a dead team walking.

Well done Oscar!

Fucks sake it wasn't broke why try to fix it?

So we can lose?

Pato has looked good. Today is probably the last time we see Remy play for us.

Is Feruz thread haunted?

RLC is Brilliant Villa are horrid. Pato with the goal!!

First minute assist for Brazil just now.

He's being honest and I can respect that. Ugly ugly thing to see from someone who is most likely going to be our starting keeper for the next 10+ years though.

Thats what happens when you play youth. RLC did more than Oscar in 2 minutes.

Emenike destroyed Azplicueta there.

Matic level decline right now.

GOLAZO!!!!

Hopefully Conte can Mata him out of here.

25 this year and hasn't improved one bit from the 20 year old player we bought.

Hope your son gets better.

Jesus wept Remy....

I think Kenedy has been the best of our attacking players today so far. That isn't saying much though.

Midfield getting destroyed here.

Bring him back with Conte.

I don't think it ever leaves to be honest. Its just easier to hide when everything is going well. Look at Suarez. Been sunshine and blue skies ever since he came to Spain, so we never have to see his dark side appear. Really disappointed in Costa. He quit on the team when he got sent off there. No different from Hazard asking to be subbed when the going got rough.
