Pope: 7
Lowton: 6
Tarka 7
Mee: 7
Pieters: 7 clearly our best crosser
Cork: 7
Westwood:6
McNeil: 7 sniffed out in the second half
JBG: 6
Wood: 6
Barnes: 7*

JRod 5 very disappointing

Poor crossing throughout was our downfall

SalisburyClaret

Austrians won't have him as he's not pure Austrian (racial purity is quite important in those parts)
England won't have him as he's not played in the U16, U18, U21 gateway
Scores more goals than Rashford though

SalisburyClaret

Not sure DD will be in the starting line up unless we go for 5 in the middle

SalisburyClaret

I like the way Pieters takes responsibility for his mistakes, if he gives the ball away he hounds whoever's got the ball until he gets it back. There's no way he'll get dropped fr the next game
McNeil and Pieters will take time to gel though

That Villa keeper looks good

Pope - 8

Mee - 9
Tarkowski - 9
Pieters - 9 cracking debut
McNeil - 7
Westwood - 7
Cork - 7
Gudmundsson - 7
Barnes - 9*
Wood - 7

Awful conditions

All the back 5 playing well, the rest trying hard in crap conditions

Fair enough -who knew the season was starting today

I often go on my own - the important thing is being there

Certainly the best signing - or to put it another way - the worst sale

Vitamin C
Cherry juice - the proper stuff

He’ll not get in the starting line-up by Jan

Dean Marney’s was so good it was on twice

One of the 3 ordered arrived today. Phoned the ticket office - they said ring Thursday and they can print any that are missing

We value Tarkowski at £40M
Bournemouth value Ake at £75M
Guess Leicester will be chasing Tarka then and if we value him at £40M, a deal around £25M seems likely based on how we handled our valuation of Heaton

SalisburyClaret

Villa had the price they were prepared to pay
We had our valuation
We negotiated to their price
We sold the best English goalkeeper to a rival at the price they wanted
We are utterly clueless in the transfer market
Best of luck to my favourite Claret

Let’s not rush into these things

Very poor defending from Cork

It’s a good job that Brighton fans singing “you’re just a town full of racists” at Burnley fans was not considered to be abusive or in any way discriminatory

SalisburyClaret

We didn’t stumble across McNeil by accident but there !s little doubt he wouldn’t have had the game time he did if it wasn’t for Lennon’s injury. That was the the bit of luck/chance/accident or whatever that massively contributed to our change in fortunes

There's the No Nay Never podcast of course

£12m is still an insult

Since when has long ball been boring - it’s fast and effective. It’s also far more entertaining than watching expensive defenders play square balls to each other in front of their penalty area.

Nadal should be warned for endlessly adjusting his sweaty nether regions - clearly ungentlemanly conduct

Boyhood Newcastle fan and a capable manager. I was hoping they’d do the decent thing and go for some fancy foreigner we’ve never heard of.

Villa have paid a hell of a lot of money for Mings I agree - but they did because he is still young and he was arguably their best player last season after he joined. Look at their defensive record after he joined compared to before. Villa will pull in 40k fans every week and are a far far bigger t...

SalisburyClaret

Why would Tom want to play for a team with Mings in front of him

SalisburyClaret

Good player, good signing, good price, good defender, good going forward. This is definitely good

Started off as a central midfield player - a long time ago

I’m all for VAR but so far tossing a coin would be more accurate

Kyrgios underarm serve was quality

SalisburyClaret

Superb skills - how many multi million Premier League superstars could do that

SalisburyClaret

The collar and the splodge are awful - the rest is pretty good

SalisburyClaret

Dawson will be a decent enough squad signing for Watford

We have 4 excellent central defenders so no need for us to worry

SalisburyClaret

In today's market £80m is fairly cheap especially if he can make a such a difference and keep a team up.
That doesn't make the market right though

SalisburyClaret

Appalling choices but I’m sure they’ll go for Boris this time. In any case either option will only last until the next election.

Had to believe that the decision to hold the World Cup in Qatar was based on anything other than football

SalisburyClaret

I’d agree, I think the new rules will affect us far more than most as we spend long periods defending and blocking so the chance of one of these ridiculous new handballs being given will be much higher. The way to avoid this is to keep the ball more or attack more - that’s not really our style so I ...

£90m for Maguire - the world has gone mad

This would be ok if the BBC weren’t so wasteful - for example they could save a fortune by sending 20 less presenters to France for a month to cover the Women’s World Cup. As it is it just mainly penalises some of the weakest in society
