Absolutely - he could easily have been motm as well.
-
I agree with you - it’s documented that I have been critical of Bailey - I think he has been poor way longer, than he has been good for us. His recent form for me, has been a very pleasant surprise and something I did not see coming. But I maintain that my reservations were valid based upon the length of time that he was underperforming. Zaniolo and Tielemans have both received a lot of criticism on here, yet have been here for a very short time in comparison, and in my view both deserve our support, although fortunately YT is now proving to be the player, we all hoped he would be.
-
Terrific performance - will be hard to shift now imo.
-
Awesome tonight - both him and Tielemans could also have won motm
-
Best game in a Villa shirt - played really well and totally deserved his motm billing.
-
I don’t think anyone would disagree with this statement. But I think many would also agree, that combined these are two good qualities to have.
-
Not if it’s aligned with technical ability. This is what contributes to being an all round player imo
-
I’m surprised Alex Cropley has not got a mention here. Terrific player, who could also dig a bit, when needed.
-
Let’s have it right - Bailey is doing well at this moment, however you simply cannot just ignore, that he has also been pretty dreadful for a significant period. I am willing to give NZ more time to prove himself, as I believe there is a player in there. I guess all he would ask is for the same level of patience that was afforded to Bailey ? Surely this is not unreasonable is it.

As I mentioned earlier - this could so easily be the YT thread, now all of a sudden we are seeing a very different YT - is it not plausible that the same could happen ?
-
I believe he will come good - this thread is now fast becoming Youri Tielemans v2. He is a young man, in a different culture and with a recent scandal hovering over him. If Unai is the manager, we all believe him to be, would he really bring someone into the club who couldn’t play?

With him, performing nicely and JJ returning - there is serious competition to some very gifted footballers in our midfield
-
Absolutely this - it’s not as though Cash is some silent assassin, who has made a name out of GBH on fellow pros.
-
I think you make some good points - and let’s be fair, Cash is not the sort of player to set out to deliberately hurt another player. Mistimed, awkward, poorly judged - Call it what you will, intentional never. Spuds fans will be upset at losing another player, and I don’t blame them but it’s football and we as much as anyone have a right to curse our luck.
-
I’m not sure I agree tbh - Cash wouldn’t deserve to be left out, based upon yesterday imho. Of course I might be totally wrong - but I don’t feel this is UE’s method of doing things ??
-
I make you right TRO - I felt from the get go there were signs of his qualities, even though he wasn’t playing particularly well. He is playing himself into being an integral part of what we are hoping to achieve.
-
This could be about to change ?
-
Absolutely - look he has done much better this season - but frankly he has been very poor overall since he joined us. From what I can see - he seems a guy with a lot of common sense - so I wouldn’t expect him to be looking to hold the club to ransom, but if so - frankly he can do one
-
Sorry I’m late to this party - this is a joke isn’t it? - apologies if I have missed something ?
-
Are you sure about this? He has been in a lot of our recent match day squads and is probably the most naturally gifted player in the club imo. I think he is a fantastic footballer who I always enjoy watching and again in my humble opinion is the only slight disappointment in Unai’s tenure - although I fully accept this is not a view shared by many.
-
I agree - Digne has played very well this season and will be unfortunate to lose his place in the team, but this guy is a little bit special and offers that us, that little bit of magic, that despite playing superbly Digne cannot.
-
My only disappointment about Unai is his use of Bertie, although I acknowledge I am most likely in a minority here. There is just something about Bertie that I really enjoy watching - one of the most naturally gifted footballers we have had at VP imo
-
When I speak of Big Ron - I don’t necessarily think of what we won under him, more so the whole match day experience. It was so entertaining for a period of his tenure. It really was footballing theatre in every sense. I just loved to watch us spray the ball around at pace and with purpose. Unai - I believe will deliver us more in terms of trophies won - fingers crossed
-
Given time and appropriate resources - nothing would surprise me with him. Just think where we would be sitting right now, if we had beat Forest. However it’s still very early into his tenure to be suggesting this season
-
Genuinely do not think, the football we are playing is as good that which we were afforded under Big Ron - but equally I feel that Unai will surpass everything that Big Ron achieved with us.
