  1. I think rb or wing back is his position.

    Don't think he's technically good enough to play further up the pitch but with his athleticism he can defend well and run at players when attacking.

    Although I don't think he's technically great his set pieces seem decent.

    Strange that with limited technical ability one can strike a set piece like that?

     

    I do think he has technical ability, but hitting a dead ball is not the same as being technically good enough to play a position.

     

    I think he will be good enough tbh. Just pointing it out.

     

    If striking a set piece was the marker for being a great footballer, I would be playing top level myself :)

    I see your point, and Big John's. My comment was not sarcastic. I do find it a little abnormal that his technical ability to take a set piece and his technical ability in his position don't go together. Usually they do. At least I think so. Is Bacuna nervous when he plays, does he not trust himself with the ball after his first disastrous outing?

    I think he is very good at RB too, not so much going forward.

  2. He has been great for us, but  I am getting increasingly annoyed that all media basically can only identify 1 player with Villa, which is Benteke, and do not talk about anyone else. Its just lazy journalism. Gabby has been great for us since the turn of the year as well and barely gets a mention. Its like 'martin o'neils aston villa' all over again. Unless we look like we are going down or pushing for Europe, Villa does not exist in the hacks simple minds. Don't get me wrong he has been brilliant for us but the next month we have to prove to all that we are more than just one really good player.

     

    it isnt benteke's fault the whole media concentrate on him. :(

     

    If Benteke wasn't so brilliant it wouldn't be a problem. It's not the beasts fault that he is world class is it?

    I don't think that's what he meant at all.

  4. It will be a volatile ride watching Luna this season. He can be brilliant at times and then the worst left back ever. But I agree with the sentiment here: something about this guy makes you like him. And I think it's his heart. He gives his everything and loves doing it. I believe in him, he will be a very good defender one day.

    I agree 100%

     

    You can see he loves playing for Villa and the supporters. You look at him and think he's a 32 year old veteran who shouldn't be making the mistakes he makes, but remember he's just a kid, really. I think he'll improve by leaps and bounds.

    Yes, exactly, with his beard and all...

  5. Glad he played well enough today and hopefully proof that another striker was needed at the end of the window. I know many thought a midfielder was the priority but Benteke was always going to miss matches and someone was needed to carry the burden and lead the line. He'll do just fine this season.

    I agree with you HH. The only question I have is that why did he bring in Helenius and not a midfielder? He is not the same player as Benteke or Kozak, but still. I guess it could be down to timing, Helenius was available early and other teams were interested in him aswell. Lambert wanted to make sure he got someone good enough to cover for Benteke or his replacement and acquired him. Then Benteke decided to stay and Kozak became available later.
