Oh, I didn't realise this was the Conor Gallagher thread, I thought the Conor Gallagher thread was the Conor Gallagher thread.
When Villa were in the hot seat, I was a bit annoyed because I remember them signing Tielemans and most people on this board saying Tielemans was brick and immobile and we definitely shouldn't sign him, and I remember people on this board saying McGinn was an inathletic fat-arse who struggles to get around the pitch and wasn't good enough for Spurs and... it is these types of experienced pro's that know how to win games and know when to push and when to feign injury and when to wind someone up and when to go in for the decisive moments.
Maybe Frank saw how Villa passed through our limp attack/midfield/defence twice in a row on Saturday and thought "nope, we need to change this".
