As you should be, Nick. The days of John Carew and young Gaby Agbonlahor are the snows of yesteryear. Maybe Tim Sherwood can find /liberate their youth star, as he did with Harry Kane at Spurs. Having Guzan in goal is a plus, but American keepers can't save everyone's bacon, or score the gals they need. --I mean goals. They're probably scoring as many gals as ever. ;-)
Villa aren't a fave though I'd miss them--but then I still miss the Blackburn Rovers coached by Mark Hughes with Brad Freidl in goal (who couldn't save them either.)
