Reivax_Villa

I watched him play last night.

He is not the type of player to impose himself on defenders like Ollie Watkins..

We are not going to see the robust all action display so it can come across as underwhelming because we are not used to seeing that type of performance from a striker..

If I am being honest, it wasn't his best display and he would get a 5/10 for that performance.

The Fulham centre back pairing was a 17 year old Canadian named Fougerolles & Diop.. It was Fougerolles's inexperience that caused him to concede the penalty..

I really like Archer and I think that he is a big talent..

I think that he should have taken a longer break after the winning the Euro Championship but I guess he was eager to impress and stake a claim in the squad..

He will get plenty more opportunities, games like these are beneficial to his development this season.. BUT it will take him a while to get going I think..

I would like to see Archer continue to get more minutes in the second half

Give him some time..

This is probably the best squad of players we have had ever in term’s talent..

We are heavily stacked in terms defensive , midfield and attacking talent

He’s a special talent!

Great showing of football!

This has been a good friendly for us in terms of quality or opposition and to have a look at the players!

Olsen wont last too long here 

Knowing our luck we will sell him off to a French team..

He will have a very strong season and end up getting a move to Brighton or Brentford and be a top player for them

Just noticed that he follows Benfica on instagram  

Looks like he is going on loan

Watching the clip of our internationals returning back from their break makes you realise how much quality we have..

Imagine if we sign two more pacey wingers, A full back & maybe a striker..

Strongest squad we have had in a decade..

One positive thing we all can agree on is that Unai is making sure that every player is putting in some real work every session!

Carlos looking good, and more importantly, fit. I have a feeling he could come in for Mings at some point if he can come back the same player. Torres will be the main man at the back. 

I want to see how he looks in transition defence and under pressure, he looks good on the ball but i don't know about defensively..

Maybe, but a maximum of 4 of these players will start the first league game, although more like 2.

This is very true, some have never played a game under Emery

My early prediction is that A Ramsey is ready for first team football at Villa

I have said this before and I will say this again..

Buendia should not be having the number 10 on the back of his shirt..

Although this is a first match of the season but we are slow in moving the ball out into attack..

I remember him. He played against the against us in the Fa Youth cup semi final when we won the tournament.

He was supposed to be their best player but he didn't stand out as much.

He also played alongside Iroegbunam..

Maybe he is a project or an asset that we can improve and sell in the future..

The players are back on Monday 10th July

This is a TOP signing.

He is going to surprise a few here

So what position should we be targeting next?

I don't think this spells the end for him here.

He is still on a bumper contact and he would have known that we were strengthing this department.

This means that Mings gets more rest in between games, also means he has to continue to improve.

Villa need to get in the habit of upgrading on in-form players because that is how we will improve.
