""A point that doesn't shine, yes, we need goals, of course they will come... but a point that strengthens us and our spirit," he wrote on X. "We're working well and we'll soon improve. The first stone of a magnificent construction never attracts the attention of spectators. But it's very necessary.""
"Villa are only the fifth side in Premier League history not to score in their opening four league games, after Sheffield Wednesday (1993-94), Newcastle United (2005-06), Swansea City (2011-12) and Crystal Palace (2017-18). Their expected goals (XG) this season is 3.07 which puts them only above bottom club Wolves' 2.63. This comes from 40 shots, with just 10 on target and an XG of 0.08 from those efforts."
Aston Villa have gone four Premier League matches without a goal and remain without a win after a 0-0 draw at Everton. The run marks the club's worst start since 1997-98 and the first time without scoring in five consecutive league matches since 2014-15. The squad's expected goals total just 3.07 from 40 shots, with only 10 on target and an XG of 0.08 from those efforts. Director of football operations Damian Vidagany described the Everton point as a foundation and urged patience, while finishing and early-season form remain major concerns.
