He will be a huge asset when full fit and going again! 100%. Both he and Moreno looked like they'd barely played in months yesterday, because they, well, er, haven't - and getting them both up to speed again could be vital for us as the season goes on.

Philosopher Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 He clearly isn't sharp, but doesn't look far from it. A few more games and will will he be firing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taxahunter Posted December 19, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 19, 2023 He should have scored from the header Watkins served him, I can name a couple of players some posters would have crucified if they had missed that chance, but I guess as he is one of our own, we are not mentioning it. But good to have him back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 He just needs a couple of games to get his sharpness back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Think Sheff will be a good game for him. They're not the most athletic team and JJ's natural atheltism might help him out in the game. Also, it'll be a traditional British way of playing football against Sheff Utd, which I think will leave large gaps for JJ to take advantage of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another fact is he's been out for months and did great work from Ollie's knock down. It'll come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taxahunter Posted December 19, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 19, 2023 So You are telling me that, if it had been Bailey, Tielemans, Traore, Zainiolo, Dendoncker who missed that chance, then nobody would have mentioned it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 It wasn't even an easy chance. Ball was bouncing and he had to get the shot off before the block, that's I think why he rushed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 ^^ And I'd say this about any player who had this chance. No different if they came through our academy or are a Villa fan or whatever else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted December 22, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 22, 2023 He’s been utterly woeful since he came back from injury. Which is fine, it’s to be expected and he’ll get back up to speed soon I’m sure. But playing him for the full 90 tonight was… odd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 yeah, he looked quite poor again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Terrible game for him to play in really. He needs space to excel, he's not the best passer or creative outlet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
