People often attribute giving up to the struggle of staying injury free and having confidence. See Bailey, there are very fine margins to players being able to perform to the top of their game or struggle. It's those who can consistently do this even with injuries etc which make them truly elite players.

The Ex-Villa Player thread - Keeping tabs on old Villans
VillaAlex replied to Moneill's topic in Other Football
Carlos Gil also scored in the same game. -
Bruno Fernandes now 2 yellow cards from a 2 game ban, with 6 games left till the amnesty. Spurs don't really have anyone close. We have McGinn on 7 yellows who needs to be careful now.
-
City away yep getting anything will be huge. Arsenal it's played at the sort of time they tend to bottle games and if they overturn Porto will be in between Champions League quarter final games.
-
Thought he was good going forward but defensively not great. His positioning in the second half cost us a goal and on two other occasions he didn't keep the line. It's basic defending so very frustrating, especially when you are the last in line.
-
Yep he worked his arse off to the very end. One of his best performances imo. His endurance has always been questionable to me but he was pressing relentlessly till the very end.
-
Sambi Lokonga would be a really smart pickup if possible. Arsenal were dumb enough to sell Emi to us after all. Press resistant, turning circle similar to McGinn, good passer and good recovery pace. Right age profile, Belgian and having a great season with Luton.

Probably going for the barbeque.

I'd be livid if I was a Sheff Utd fan. It's not just they're not good enough they've given up. Same Vs us. Shows how bad our relegation side was when they'll pick up more points still. Dreadful.
-
There's absolutely no chance he'd have joined us over Atletico. So you need your expectations in check.

Let's hope Palace get the new manager bounce Vs Spurs in a few weeks.
-
They'll give us a tough game at VP that's for sure.
-
I only saw parts of the game but just having him there with his passing ability opens up so many spaces in the middle for us to exploit. Opposition don't know whether to press him or let him pass. Really surprised Guardiola never signed him for City tbh. Great for us though.

Karma's a bitch.

Back fit ready for matches now.
-
Let's wrap him in bubble wrap till the injury curse has cleared.
-
He's showing some good skills and numbers but a few things. 1. He's been injured for large portion of season. Injuries have always been an issue for him even when playing for the u23s etc. 2. When he has played the majority of teams he's faced are those at the bottom end of the Championship. It's a large step up from this to the Premier League. Still he's doing well and fair play to him for making the move and challenging himself. He wouldn't have made it just staying with us imo, so for his long term development this was the best thing he could have done.
-
No the key strength of his is building up play from back where there is more time and space. To play Kamaras role you need to be combative and mobile too.
-
I hate this formation but given the options I do agree it's the best plan.
-
Didn't he miss a tournament before with France as well. Doesn't have much luck with injuries but he doesn't shy away from things.
-
I do like him but yeah he needs a specific kind of partner and Carlos it isn't.
-
Would be just our luck.
-
Id say he's the worst centre back we have, nothing against him hes not the worst four choice or even fifth but when chasing top four I'm desperately hoping Pau and Konsa are back soon.
-
I thought he was alright too. Nothing he could do for the goal.
-
3-0 Villa Lenglet, Carlos and Cash the scorers.
