The 2019 Summer Clearout

[PsychoStooge]

Like I say I'll wait with hope rather than expectation. I'm not arsed about us retaining a load of possession and having 800 passes per game or any of that stuff, just want to see something exciting and fun to watch and hopefully Carvalho fits in there somewhere.

O'Neill's Aston Villa 08/09

Long balls, short balls, through balls, crosses, corners, free kicks, long shots, tap in's, headers, volleys & all goals.

The mixed game, out play them when you can, but out think them, or out muscle them when you can't.

Edit: worth mentioning Gabriel Agbonlahor from those clips, he got 3 England caps while playing for Martin O'Neill, & people raved about him, but no other managers ever got so much out of him, or made him look so good. That's man management for you.

I'm not disputing he was a great manager, same at Leicester and Celtic. All I'm saying is I hope he will be here too, I hope the football gets more entertaining, I hope his man management works on Carvalho and I hope the owner gives him time, but I don't expect any of it because if I start expecting I'll end up disappointed.  :D
