Aston Villa suffered a 1-0 defeat to Watford on Saturday and Emiliano Buendia found himself substituted in the second half as he had less impact after the break. The 25-year-old has now been hooked in his last three appearances and has contributed just two goals since early-December. Ashley Preece of Birmingham Live and Matt Maher […]
Aston Villa are enduring a poor run of form in recent weeks, culminating in Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Watford, and Paddy Kenny believes this will force Steven Gerrard into making a ‘massive’ overhaul of the squad when the summer transfer window opens. Villa find themselves 12th in the Premier League this season, five points adrift […]
Aston Villa’s poor form continued as they suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to Watford on Saturday. Only Brentford (14), Watford (16) and Norwich City (16) have suffered more defeats in the Premier League than the Villans (13) and Steven Gerrard hasn’t looked impressed with the performance of his players. Villa won four of their […]
Aston Villa failed to sign a defensive-midfielder in the January transfer window after being linked with Boubacar Kamara, Rodrigo Bentancur, Glen Kamara and Yves Bissouma, but they came closest to signing the latter. Villa were unable to agree a fee with Brighton & Hove Albion, so they turned their attentions elsewhere – a decision Ashley […]
Ollie Watkins impressed in his debut season for Aston Villa, scoring 16 goals with five assists from 40 games, but his second campaign at Villa Park has left a lot to be desired. The 26-year-old has managed only five goals and one assist in 21 outings this season and doesn’t appear to be enjoying his […]
Aston Villa are struggling of late, dropping points far too easily while individual players are performing below expectations. Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United was a particular disappointment and could see Steven Gerrard make changes ahead of Saturday’s meeting with Watford. The Hornets are 19th in the Premier League and winless in their last 11 […]
Ollie Watkins has been short of form of late and has been criticised for a series of below-par showings in attack – Ashley Preece of Birmingham Live scored him 4/10 for his performance in the 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United and 6/10 for his performance in the 3-3 draw with Leeds United. The 26-year-old hasn’t […]
Philippe Coutinho has enjoyed a bright start to life at Aston Villa and has the option to turn his loan move permanent at the end of the season – the 29-year-old can join the Midlands outfit for £33.7m this summer. Coutinho has made an instant impact since leaving Barcelona, scoring two goals and making two […]
Aston Villa suffered a 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United on Sunday afternoon, with Lucas Digne and Philippe Coutinho creating multiple opportunities for teammates that weren’t converted. Noel Whelan was critical of their contribution and told Football Insider that they were ‘lacking’. Digne whipped in more crosses than any player on the day without it leading […]
Philippe Coutinho was a surprise signing for Aston Villa in the January transfer window and has been outstanding upon his return to the Premier League. The 29-year-old has scored two goals with two assists in his first three appearances and has the option to sign permanently for the Villans at the end of the season. […]
Jacob Ramsey grabbed the headlines after scoring twice in Aston Villa’s 3-3 draw with Leeds United and Rio Ferdinand was one of many pundits to heap praise on the 20-year-old. Ramsey has been in fine form this season and could be rewarded with an England call-up next month. Ramsey is Villa’s joint-top scorer in the […]
Matt Targett has an uncertain future at Aston Villa after losing his starting place under Steven Gerrard and being succeeded by Lucas Digne in January. The 26-year-old has suffered from inconsistency this season and now finds himself loaned out to Newcastle United. Targett will return to Bodymoor Heath this summer as he has three more […]
