It was Buendia esque. Crucially he saw the pattern early cos he was demanding the ball to be played to him from the wing and knew immediately what he was going to do with it once he received it. Think he is a really intelligent footballer - just needs a few starts/ 90 minutes to get up to speed physically
-
His pass to the crystal palace player 10 yards in front of him from the free kick is one of the worst things I've ever seen on a football pitch He's owes mcginn a bag of chips for making the tackle straight after
-
Absolutely this. Think I counted 4 different version of his name. Was infuriating. It's not even that difficult!
-
Right lads I reckon it's time we grabbed our crowbars and prize the word Ellis off the stand name down villa park! It's only fitting for this fella who has shown a commitment and passion for our club which, if I'm being quite honest, I didn't expect from such a young mercurial South American talent. I thought he would have "traded up" by now but instead he has put his head down and worked his arse off for us. Love you Dougie!
-
So did match of the day have a good chat about him, focusing on the technique of the shot, his impact on the game, his young age, journey in the game No, course not, instead they made a bunch of shitty Duran Duran puns during the replay of the goal . Was like a VT transfer thread Nobheads.

Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Crystal Palace
TheMelvillan replied to limpid's topic in PL: Crystal Palace h
The ref booking mcginn for a challenge in midfield and then not booking doucoure (I think) for a similar but much more dangerous tackle on Dougie really ground my gears I must say Though credit for booking eze for waving the imaginary card- 258 replies

Football is so weird the way so much transfer activity happens in panicked fashion on the last day Make the transfer window a week long and tell everyone to get on with it

Been getting transfer advice from Mrs Doyle again I see

If he plays in the rain do we call him Inclement Lenglet?

This is gonna be popular but..... id say if ollie had been more clinical in the opening games of the season he may have been picked. there have been a few chances that he should have buried that maybe played on Southgates mind. I love Ollie but even I can see that he isn't perfect and isn't a deadly finisher. In saying all that I think he should have been called up... Not calling up Ezri is, however, criminal
-
He is the quintessential backup striker though isnt he? Has never been first choice throughout his career but keeps himself sharp enough to be effective when called upon. Maybe not the worst shout
-
He's the Cellar Door of centre backs
-
If he were to arrive on the same day as Kourtney Hause were to leave then we may view this as a positive thing if that became our direct comparison at left centre back
-
Bertie is gonna have some fun against Hibs isn't he? Reckon he will either score a hattrick or get scythed down in the twelfth minute for showboating Harlem Globetrotters style
-
Not according to Match of the Day - i only saw like three passes before that goal on their coverage. Regarding Unai I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say I would even swap him for Pep right now. I doubt that Pep would have done any better than Unai has taking this job - his record is mainly built from winning with already great/ vastly wealthy/ cheating teams. Also Unai isn't an irritating twunt
-
also, to add ( because im on a Moussa High right now) I love his confidence - he doesnt seem surprised when he beats a man or scores because thats what he meant to do. So many Villa players in the past were as shocked as we were watching when they did something well ( I wont name and shame) - whereas Diaby has that Gallic nonchalance which suggests that nothing he does is down to luck.
-
He is so much more than a pure athlete/ speed merchant isnt he? His speed of though and decision making are also excellent, complimented by incredible skill Its comforting that in the video posted above there are a couple of finishes identical to the one against Burnley, and an assist identical to the one he laid on a plate for Ollie (the pin perfect cross from the wing). So his form so far isnt a fluke - this guy is the real deal. And I reckon he still hasnt hit top gear yet. Scary stuff
-
I think our issue in recruiting a new striker is that Ollie is such a fixture in our side, and so important to how we play. Much like Spurs when they had Kane, recruiting a striker means either getting someone better (difficult/ expensive) or someone happy to play second fiddle (red flag). If you are a team who rotate their strikers a lot it must make it much easier
-
I personally would have lost a little bit of respect for him if he had passed to Ollie rather than try to score 2 minutes into his debut Looks the part but I reckon there's a hotheadedness there that will see a few cards come his way. At one point he lost the ball and the way he started to chase down the opposition had me cringing a little cos I thought he was gonna do something dumb Also, I respect his dedication to the tradition of floppy haired Italian footballers. When I were a lad Italian footballers all had flowing locks to some degree - now the Italian squad is rife with buzz cuts and sick fades. It's a disgrace I tell ya, and in my opinion the main contributing factor to their downfall as a footballing nation
