  1. From what I've seen of Amavi his crossing is excellent so could see a player like Gestede scoring a handful just from his deliveries.
  2. Anyone know if this Nixon guy is reliable? Sounding like a deal for Gestede is close from what he's saying.
  3. Nice unbiased article there.
  4. What hate? Some people don't rate him very highly but I haven't seen any hate.
  5. Most strikers won't be, even at the top level. He was in a class of his own at times.
  6. Pure class. I'm already starting to hope it's true now.
  7. This is how I'm feeling about it. I remember watching him at VP when he was at Spurs, 07/08 season I think, and it was probably one of the best performances from a striker I've ever seen in the flesh, brilliant movement, link up play and he just glided around so effortlessly. But at 34 it would really have to be questioned whether he's still got it, cant say I've followed him at Monaco.
  8. Still getting caught out of position by being too high up the pitch, his pace does get him out of trouble but hopefully will be a bit more conservative about bombing forward when the real games start.
  9. Had a good game but no chance he was MOTM. Gueye, Kozak and Bacuna all better imo.
  10. Villa conceding a late goal. Say it aint so.
  11. Richards is always too high up the pitch
  12. Is it just me or does Hutton have a glorious tan?
  13. Finally look like we've found a decent LB and the commentator wants to move him to the wing. What is happening.
  14. Nice run by Sinclair, imagine being a RB with Amavi and Sinclair charging at you.
  15. Camera work is awful, why do they keep zooming in so much.
  16. We look so fast and a have lot of players that can beat a man. Think we could be an exciting team this season.
  17. Really glad this is happening, confident Sherwood knows how to get the best out of him.
  18. WhoScored tweeted this earlier: José Ángel Crespo: Made more tackles + interceptions (118) in La Liga last season than any Aston Villa player managed in the Premier League
  19. But he uses that physicality for poaching. Most of his goals last season seemed to be headers or poached goals (poached through rebounds or bullying defenders in the box). I didn't say he doesn't use his size to his advantage but it's certainly not the central part of his game, like it is Gestede, not in my opinion anyway.
