Aston Villa Back on Track?
After the chaos and charm of Rotterdam, Aston Villa returned to more familiar surroundings and took care of business against Burnley. In this episode of the My Old Man Said podcast, we relive the absurdities of European away days – from being herded like cattle behind Perspex screens to the Napalm Death flight back home – before turning to how Unai Emery’s side finally look like themselves again.
Bar the odd lapse, possession (the fifth-highest in the Premier League this season) is once again being translated into purposeful control, with chances beginning to flow again. We break down Villa’s growing composure on the ball, Lamare Bogarde’s coming-of-age performance, Donyell Marlon’s sharp finishing, and the all-too-familiar soft goal from a corner. Plus, there’s talk of ticket prices, merch madness, and a billion-dollar Neymar story you won’t believe.
With four straight wins under their belt, are Villa truly back or still a little short of the star power needed to push into the top four?
