Aston Villa played out a 1-1 draw at home to Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon and Danny Ings was one of many players who underperformed. The 29-year-old started alongside Ollie Watkins in attack but missed more opportunities than any of his teammates and was eventually hooked in the second half for a below-par showing. Ings […]
Aston Villa were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Crystal Palace on Sunday, but John McGinn was one of a few players who could be happy with his efforts over the 90 minutes. The 27-year-old started alongside Marvelous Nakamba and Douglas Luiz in midfield and did everything in his power to keep Palace […]
Aston Villa drew 1-1 with Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon and Lucas Digne was one of many players who impressed against the Eagles. The 28-year-old started at left-back with Tyrone Mings, Ezri Konsa and Matty Cash for company and was outstanding over the 90 minutes. No Villa player created more chances, won more aerial duels, […]
Steven Gerrard has been playing Ollie Watkins alongside Danny Ings in attack, so he has no other striker to call upon if Aston Villa are chasing the game. And with the Midlands outfit being ninth in the Premier League for goals (48), it wouldn’t hurt to add a prolific forward for the sake of next […]
Matt Targett will return to Aston Villa when his loan move at Newcastle United ends, but the 26-year-old is unlikely to play for Villa again after falling down the pecking order under Steven Gerrard. Targett sought a move away after Lucas Digne was brought in from Everton, so he will need replacing and John Percy […]
Aston Villa suffered a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool on Tuesday evening after throwing away a 1-0 lead and Steven Gerrard said Marvelous Nakamba coming off in the second half may have contributed. The 28-year-old was replaced by Carney Chukwuemeka after the hour mark with the score at 1-1, but Liverpool scored minutes later to take […]
Aston Villa welcome Crystal Palace to Villa Park on Sunday afternoon, but Steven Gerrard could be without Ollie Watkins as he’s recovering from an ankle injury and has yet to train since Tuesday’s 2-1 defeat to Liverpool. The 26-year-old was substituted in the 81st minute and replaced by Bertrand Traore, so he faces a race […]
Steven Gerrard was appointed Aston Villa manager in November with the reputation of favouring a 4-3-3 formation, but he’s mostly preferred to pack the midfield with creativity by opting for a 4-3-2-1. The 41-year-old has made another pivot to a 4-3-1-2, however, using Danny Ings alongside Ollie Watkins in attack to varying degrees of success. […]
Aston Villa are closing in on a permanent deal for Philippe Coutinho and could land his signature for much less than expected, but the move comes during a dip in form. The 29-year-old got his Villa career off to a great start with four goals and three assists from his eight Premier League appearances, but […]
Carney Chukwuemeka looked to have a bright future at Aston Villa after being regarded as the best English player in his age group to being the club’s third-youngest debutant in the Premier League, but Birmingham Live say the 18-year-old could be on his way out of Villa as he’s refusing to sign a new deal […]
Ollie Watkins’ future at Aston Villa has been up in the air amid interest from Arsenal and West Ham United, but Steven Gerrard has little reason to let the 26-year-old leave given his importance to the team. Despite this, West Ham aren’t giving up on Watkins and the Guardian say United hope their superior Premier […]
