My Old Man Said - An Aston Villa Podcast

Over the Easter period, Villa have slipped to 15th in the Premier League, leaving some supporters increasingly anxious about a potentially wasted season.“Continual progress” has been the mantra of the Villa board and Steven Gerrard made a point earlier in the year of reminding people he had taken Villa into the top 10, after they were 16th when he took over. His comment hasn’t aged well, as it’s hard to pinpoint any clear improvement on Dean Smith’s earlier endeavours.After meeting Villa CEO Christian Purslow at the recent Fan Consultation Group meeting, we discuss what is next for Villa this season.UTVGet a Free Share on MOMSThis episode of the My Old Man Said podcast is brought to you by Freetrade, the commission-free investing app, that allows you to buy shares and EFT's from your mobile phone.Get set up to start your investment journey in 2022 and get yourself a free share between the value of £3 and £200 (minimum share value £10 before March 27th, 2022) on MOMS, check out – freetrade.io/mo

It was a bizarre late afternoon at Villa Park, when Aston Villa played some of their best football under Steven Gerrard, peppering an inspired Hugo Lloris, only to end up losing the match 4-0. Son Heung-min’s hat-trick did most of the damage, as Villa's team repeated the same short-comings that have been their downfall in recent months. Judging by his interviews and press conferences, Steven Gerrard clearly knows what the issues are, but there are few signs of him correcting them on the pitch.This is a shorter match reaction episode to the game before the main show in a couple of days time.UTVPS - subscribe to www.astonvilla.wtfGET THE EXCLUSIVE MOMS PATRON PODCAST CHANNEL and JOIN MATCH CLUBIf you want extra podcast shows during the month and to join Match Club, please do support the show by becoming a MOMS Patron.For more details and to become a Patron, click here: Become a MOMS PatronFollow the show on Twitter at @myoldmansaid and join the show’s listener facebook group The Mad Few.T-Sh

While Aston Villa haven't won for coming up to 17 years at St James' Park, they disappointedly showed little appetite at the weekend to rectify such a poor record.After spending millions on players in recent transfer windows, you'd expect the assembled team to be able to make 10-yard passes, not constantly over-hit crosses, not give the ball away like it's a hot potato and know what they're doing when it comes to taking and defending set pieces. At times, it was embarrassing against Newcastle.While it's appreciated that Steven Gerrard will have growing pains building his team, the owners will no doubt be a little alarmed by the lacklustre nature of the performance.We discuss what went down at the Toon, as well as catch up on the latest Villa news and go through the latest Three Point happenings in the world of football.UTVGet a free share on MOMSThis episode of the My Old Man Said podcast is brought to you by Freetrade, the commission-free investing app that helps you build your long-term wealth.
