The Villa Podcast

A lot to let out this evening. We get straight into a discussion about The Big Pictureistas and the "scapegoating" arguments. We look at Emi Martinez' unbelievable save and ask does it matter when what happens happens. Another lead blown, more dropped points to Forest and more civil war in the Aston Villa fanbase. But it should be a fun listen!

Jhon Duran shows his class and shows the touch of class he is learning in his post match interview too. A brilliant attacking performance from Villa mixed with some clangers in defence. Champions League Aston Villa are different gravy and Marco Rose and his comments ahead of the RB Leipzig game proved nothing but egg on his face in the end.

We need an award for Diego Carlos but we don't think it'd be clear what it's for. We need to talk about Ollie Watkins - another captain's armband on Fantasy Football unrewarded. And a discussion about how we feel after a result like that against Southampton at home.

Aston Villa win! Aston Villa play well! Aston Villa show the intensity, the hurt, the ambition. They stick together, they run together, they come together again.A fun match and a fun podcast.

A good performance, a decent result, a massive sense of unfairness. We pick the bones of the Juventus draw, the injustice, the chances, the Martinez save, the madness and the key moments.

Another uninspiring performance and another game without a win as Aston Villa come back from the 2-week break not looking like much has changed. We debate the penalty-taker for the club, look at the madness of the tactics we're deploying with the defensive personnel and discuss ways of moving forward, literally.

Losing to Liverpool at Anfield wouldn't feel as bad if we weren't on such a bad run. But we are.Aston Villa are held at arm's length throughout a controlled Arne Slot performance. Some chances missed, some penalty shouts missed and Austin MacPhee, making sure he's never missed.

Aston Villa concede their first goal in the Champions League and lose their first game because Tyrone Mings picks the ball up and carries it in his own box during play.Emery's team are struggling with how opposition sides are now playing against Villa's defence. What is going on recently? How do we stop it?
