Yanks on Villa

In this episode of the Yanks On Villa podcast, hosts Rodney and JT discuss the current state of Aston Villa's performance in the Premier League, expressing their frustrations over recent matches, particularly the draw against Everton and the League Cup performance. They analyze player performances, the impact of Unai Emery's coaching, and the expectations for upcoming fixtures. The conversation is filled with humor and camaraderie, despite the underlying disappointment with the team's struggles.

On this week’s episode of Yanks on Villa, J.T. and Rod break down Aston Villa’s 1–0 defeat to Brentford and the injury blow to Boubacar Kamara. We preview the big home clash against Crystal Palace, looking back at the last five Premier League encounters between the sides. We also dive into the latest transfer buzz around Christopher Nkunku, Geny Catamo, and the ongoing Marco Asensio saga. Plus, we explain the brand-new Swiss-system format for the Europa Conference League, what it means for Villa, and why a top-eight finish is crucial. Stick around as we run a live mock Europa draw and explore the best- and worst-case scenarios for Unai Emery’s men.

Rod and J.T. recap the opening match against Newcastle. Red card and all! And also go preview the upcoming match against Bradford. Does McGinn's captaincy tie the hands of Unai Emery tactically?

Here we go! Newcastle on the weekend. Grealish in our rear view mirror. Up The Villa!!!

This is a quick explanation of our intentions and goals for this podcast.

Villa coming off 4 consecutive defeats attempt to stop the slide with Crystal Palace in the Premier League and then Juventus in the Champions League. Why has Villa's offensive production fallen off since last season (through 11 PL matches)? What changes will Unai make to the squad to stop the rot?
