Talk with 101 great goals William HilvegasThe 54-year-old said:
“It happened to Newcastle, and that’s just one of those flaws and glitches, which means that clubs with small squads in particular don’t have the ability to deal with the amount of tournaments being played.
“If I’m right, the Villa will miss Europe. I don’t think we’ll win the Champions League, so can we win the FA Cup? It’s still going to take you to the Europa League, so it’s the best It’s an opportunity.
“As for the whole season, I say that was a bit disappointing when I was at the end of Holte with my peers to see me beating Bayern Munich.
“If we put nine Champions Leagues aside out of the 10 efforts so far, the league campaign was clearly average, as there was no attention to detail in terms of maintaining a clean sheet. Can’t keep clean sheets. Often we acknowledge the first goal that means you’re chasing the game.”
Collymore Eyes fa Cup Glory
Villa has challenged in three aspects: the League, the FA Cup and the Champions League. Asked about the club’s success this season, Colliemore said: Season under Unai Emery.
“The priority of the villas is to go as much as they can in the Champions League, but if they don’t get a European taste, I think they’ll be very disappointed.

Rashford and Asensio aren’t enough – Colliemore
The Villa made two famous signatures in January, lending Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio from Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain respectively, but Colliemore wasn’t entirely satisfied with the club’s deal. .
“There are ju judges on recruitment,” he said.
“I know there were two marquee signatures from Asensio and Rashford’s perspective, but I think a lot of villa fans wanted to meet one or two central defenders.
“Tyron Mings was injured again recently. He’s back now. Poe Torres is injured, Diego Carlos goes to Turkey and Ezri Consa is shuffled between the right back and the central defense. .
“The signatures that attract attention — national and local headlines — were not exceptional. Looking at the three main scorers in the villa, one was Unai It was Ollie Watkins, which Emery inherited. One was Morgan Rogers, nine out of 10 players, but perhaps not expected to play as many games as he has, so that’s what A little Luck and Ross Berklee scored three points. Again, he was probably expected to play some games in Cup competitions, not weight from a Premier League perspective. Leon Bailey is disappointed, Doniel Mullen hasn’t done much yet, Ian Matzen… (Amadoo) Onana started very well, but drifted away.
“The players who came in for good money were over par or par, so there’s a question for Unai Emery to answer. At the moment, fans of the villa say, “We’re still in the Champions League.” But in performance, some of the obvious inconsistencies there need to be fixed. ”
