Villa fan here. Great result for Boro. Carrick is doing a really good job at Boro. It's not been a flash in the pan now. This is his 2nd good season to date so good luck to him and Boro. I was gutted that we didn't do some type of deal with Boro to let our young striker stay with Boro bcos I felt he would've learned more under CARRICK than he's going to playing at Sheff UTD struggling in the EPL I'm not sure if he wanted to leave or Villa just sold him. The fans rated him very highly but we cannot go against our manager when he's doing a bang up job for us. He was doing well at Boro. I just didn't think Sheff Utd was a good move for him and I would've pushed him to remain at Boro, and see if Boro and Carrick could've come up with a deal to get him playing more games. To me, a supporter who wants to see players get it down on the grass and play, Sheff Utd was a terrible move for ARCHER. I think he would've definitely benefited from another season in the EFL with CARRICK and BORO. Unfortunately he thought his career was better served going to a club who will suffer a lot of defeats. U cannot help ppl sometimes. If they make their minds up it's not for changing but what Cameron should've done was looked at the Rhian Brewster situation. He's failed miserably there along with other strikers like Burnie as well. I rambling on about a player that neither of our clubs has. LMAO I do like this young striker u have RODGERS? He looks a real good young player who is calm in his finishing. Best of luck for the rest of the season lads.. Apologies for the longwinded comment. I got there in the end..
Looking forward to our (Villa) F.A Cup tie against you next month. Now with a long break until we play our last 16 tie in Europe in March and a reasonably quiet start to January, we can bring a strong side up to your place. Lots of former players with ties to both our great clubs (Paul Merson, George Boateng, Andy Townsend, Gareth Southgate. And the much missed Big Ugo Ehioghu & J Lloyd Samuel RIP 🙏). Unai will treat you & Michael Carrick with the upmost respect and you'll see that in the squad we'll bring up to your place. All the big guns will be involved e.g Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Carlos, Torres, Moreno, Digne, Kamara, Luiz, McGinn, Bailey, McGinn, Zaniolo, Diaby, Watkins & Durán. Possibly a couple of new signings might be involved as well if we get our business done quickly in the transfer window. We're hoping to spend big money on Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong, RB Salzburg's Israeli wonderkid Oscar Gloukh & Brazilian striker Marcos Leonardo from Santos as cover/competition for Ollie Watkins. You're still a big club who will be back in the top flight hopefully ASAP. If Sheffield United get relegated this season we are obligated to sign Cameron Archer back to Villa Park in the summer. I would've liked to see Cam 🏹, AJ (Aaron Ramsey) & Jaden Philogene-Bidace all at your place instead of Sheffield United, Burnley & Hull City. They would've 100% got you promoted this season 😕 Although our job is to end your participation in the F.A Cup & not give the BBC the shock it wants to see next month, i know a vast majority of us Villans would love to see you go all the way to Wembley and lift the Carabao Cup!! 👊 The bellends at SKY say we have no chance of winning the Premier League or even getting a Top 4 finish, just like they say you have no chance of winning the Carabao Cup and getting promoted via the Play-Offs this season. Lets show them they're wrong and we both win silverware next year!!! 👊 Have a good Xmas and (apart from getting beat by us!!)\ have a Happy and prosperous New Year. See you next month 🦁 From a lifelong Villa fan
Michael Carrick is a Football Genius.. Man United Legend.. They almost upset the no2 EPL Aston Villa in the FA Cup, they conceded the goal in 87 mins.. They almost draw Aston Villa..
