Hornso Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Scored in his 50th appearance. Think that's his 3rd Premier League goal for us, must be going at a pretty decent rate considering the amount of appearances he gets. No brainer to exercise his addition year option on his contract you would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be very disappointed if Axel came straight back in. On top of that - imagine his confidence levels if he plays and keeps Kane quiet, after Lukaku and Ronaldo? You're right it really could be the start of something for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onmeedson Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Kortney brings power to the team and slots in nicely with our defence, you can only give credit to him for his approach to the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 That was a terrific header! I must admit I was so nervous I almost wet my pants when I saw he would play in the sweeper role, but he coped well, and has written himself into the history books with that goal. Not many at Villa get the winner against Man U away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Axel loses his place to him against Spurs, I think so. Mings (especially) and Konsa don't score enough for my liking. Playing Hause definitely makes us more deadly and solid at set pieces. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many at Villa get the winner against Man U away. Tbf that's almost certainly his best role. Where he is battling physically with centre forwards or recovering loose balls (which he is goated at- 98th percentile in 19/20 at 14.3) and his only role in possession is to either hoof it clear or play it to Mings or Konsa who do the intricate stuff.

peterw Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Its very unlikely he won't start against Spurs and he has earned the shirt, but I can see an argument for not starting him. Tottenham play with one up front (Kane) who also likes to drop deep. That would mean one of the defenders stepping out into midfield more often which would question the 4-3-3. Nuno may himself switch to a back 3 but I'd doubt he'd risk it knowing that if they were to lose he'd have to switch back again after one game and have his credentials questioned. So Tottenham are likely to stay the same and with the way they play I don't see 3 centre-halves being needed. If we do go for two in the middle neither Konsa nor Mings get dropped which leaves Hause.

Not many at Villa get the winner against Man U away. I had no nerves about seeing him start, yes I love the guy anyway even before that magic header but as a defender doing his job of defending I really see no problem with him. Where I think people get nervous is with the ball at his feet because he isn’t as cultured as mings of konsa but if he just plays nice and simple and lets his defensive work do his talking then he is such an asset to us. Throw into the mix both defensively and attacking it makes us do much stronger at set pieces because he hardly loses a header. Our new set piece coach must be desperate for him to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Axel is much better on the ball. Hause is much better in the air. Take your pick. I would probably go with Axel because I will always favor ball playing center halves in modern football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude gets so many headers that he hits the bar with or heads over from 6 yards out. I think he's had at least 10 in the prem with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
