Stan Collymore described the Aston Villa era as “mildly frustrating” and believes that the club will lose European football next year.
The Collymore villa fan regularly watches three seasons with the club in the late 1990s and, although recognizing the progress under the UNAI EMERY, feels that defensive weaknesses will prevent their progress.
The villa, which is the ninth in the Premier League after the frustrating 1-1 Saturday 1-1 draw with 10-man Ipswich Town, are still in the Champions League and automatically identified for the 16th round after the coming eighth in the renewed team team.

Collymore predicts the villa will finish eighth
But Collymore believes that failure to sign at least one defender in the January window will return to bite them.
Talking to 101 large goals through William Hill VegasThe 54 -year -old said: “I have the villa to finish the eighth that we would miss in Europe as a whole.
“It happened in Newcastle and it is just one of these defects and problems with which the clubs with small groups are not the ability to deal with the amount of tournaments played.
“If I am the right villa it will lose Europe. I don’t think we will win the Champions League, so we will be able to win the fa cup? I think it still gets you in the Europa League, so it’s the best chance.
“As for the time overall, they dare to say that it was mildly frustrating that sounds strange when I was at the end of Holte with our comrades to watch us defeat Bayern Munich, watch us defeat Juventus …
“If you take aside the Champions League, one of the nine of the 10 attempts so far. Sheet.
Collymore Eyes Fa Cup Glory
The villa is a challenge for three fronts, the league, the FA Cup and the Champions League. Asked what would be a success for the club this season, Collymore said: “With my villa hat, we haven’t won the fa cup since 1957, so he will win a trophy, especially after the rapid ascent of the last two seasons down From the unai Emery.
“What prioritizes the villa is to get to the Champions League as much as they can, but I think they will be extremely disappointed if they do not get any taste of Europe.
“So, the FA Cup as a fan. As a club, go as much as you can in the Champions League.”
Rashford and Asensio are not enough – Collymore
Villa made two large signs in January, bringing Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio for a loan from Manchester United and Paris Agios-Germanos respectively, but Collymore was not completely happy with the club’s transactions.
“In terms of recruitment, the jury is out,” he said.
“I know there were two Marquee signatures in terms of Asensio and Rashford, but I think many villa fans would like to see one or two central defenders.
“Tyrone Mings was injured quite recently again. He’s back now, Pau Torres has been injured. Diego Carlos went to Turkey and Ezri Konsa has been mixed between the right and the central defense.
“It is great to have heads that attract attention – national and local headlines – but the signatures of the villa were not excellent. If you look at the three villas of the villa – one was Ollie Watkins who inherited Unai Emery , one was Morgan Rogers, one of nine of the 10 players, but he probably was not expected to play so many games that he has Luck and Ross Barkley, who scored three again, was expected to come and play some games in Cup and Cup competitions. Not to weigh in from the Premier League.
“Players who have come for good money were par or just below the exchange, so there are questions for UNAI EMERY to answer. For the time From where seemingly inconsistencies in performances. “
