So, is Aston Villa in the title race now? Morgan Rogers is quite a player BTW; would love to sign him to replace one of our wingers.
 
Yes. They're not the favourites but they definitely belong in the betting.

Rogers is some player for sure but I don't think wide forward would be his best position. He's a no.10 and may well be Tuchel's current preference for that role with England.
 
Just chatting with my youngest and I said “I wonder where the Burnley players actually live.

Burnley is so fucking grim and racist surely people don’t live local. Manchester is a bit too far and Rochdale, Blackburn, Preston, Bolton are pretty hideous too

I chucked out Skipton as a possibility!

Any ideas?
Phil Neville used to live near Rawtenstall/Crawshawbooth which is not far from Burnley.

Could be Bellingham without the attitude. Almost is already.
 
Speaking on The Overlap, Van de Ven revealed: “At one point, we just walked up to the gaffer and said that we need to change some things and play more defensive sometimes.

“We played away at Frankfurt and were 1-0 up, and we can’t keep attacking, we just need to come back and have a low block and make sure we get the three points.

“We sat with him and he agreed with us on some things, and he told us that he expected us two guys to sort this on the pitch – to make sure that this is something everybody knows and to speak to everybody on the pitch.”


Van de Ven added: “When we were getting further in the Europa League, sometimes we would sit down with him and say, ‘We need to adapt sometimes’. That wasn’t only with him – that was also with his assistant and other coaches.”

On his relationship with the manager, he added: “He is a really good manager – I still really like him. I don’t know how it all went down behind the scenes, winning the Europa League then getting sacked. I didn’t expect Ange to be sacked.

“There were a lot of rumours, and everyone was on Ange, like the media – there was not a day I was scrolling on my phone and saw nothing about our gaffer. There was always something about him.”

On Postecoglou being sacked, Van de Ven continued: “He was the manager that brought silverware to Tottenham – then afterwards when he got sacked, I sent a text to my dad and my friends, and said, ‘I never expected this’. I texted Ange as well and said, ‘All the best in the future.'”
