I think it's fair to say we're about to find out whether the manager rates him. Not at all. It's a long season and he's a young player. Bruce has already given him some small glimpses of the first team and I'm sure as the season progresses we'll see him more. One game where he is or isn't in the squad doesn't mean the manager doesn't rate him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't a great deal of alternatives in fairness - I'm not sure Grealish is quite ready to start again yet and Lansbury is still a little was from fitness.

It potentially looks that way, but I can't remember when he got injured. It could just be that he hasn't played for us since we started showing good form so maybe he'd be a totally different player for us playing for this current in-form Villa. That said it doesn't bode well that I actually forgot he existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't have any passengers, we already have Richards and Gabby. Callum will hopefully play a role also.

lexicon Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Interesting showcase from him today - doesn't quite look ready for regular first team play yet as his positioning needs work but he clearly has a ton of potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet still got an assist, offered himself more than most on the pitch and tried to make quick pass and moves. Needs a run of games not just a sub appearance . The boys a talent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skruff Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I was impressed. Rapid precise short passes. Pass and move, pass and move. Constantly making himself available for the ball, always moving in to space. Very positive player. Sadly whenever he seemed to initate somthing, his teammates chose the safe backwards pass instead. It was a refreshing sub to Snodgrass who kept passing it into the opponents time after time. Will be an interesting player to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 He looks a decent player that actually wants to and seems capable of playing the game the right way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Looked much better when Grealish came on. Playing him in behind Davis is a waste. He needs movement in front of him and players to link up with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second half we'd gone back to 4-4-2 and O'Hare had been dumped on the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for me, offered himself a lot down our right hand side, but instead of sending him down the wing, Elmohamdy decided to lump it forward.

It was really frustrating to watch Elmo did it to him time after time, if I was playing Sunday league and someone did that to me I'd be asking what their problem was...he showed down the wing at least a dozen times , and Elmo just cut in and tried a pass to Davies who lost it..time after time. Felt sorry for the kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted November 17, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted November 17, 2017 Real opportunity for the lad now we are down to bare bones attacking wise. Think he deserves a shot before Grealish, but good to have the both of them as options! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
