Moves are regularly breaking down with him and we currently can't buy a goal. We need as much attacking advantage as we can get. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Targett is out and Taylor plays then it'll be even worse for our attacking play. I've never known a full back like Taylor who doesn't even try to put a cross in. I think we need Fred back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did play one very good but for grealish against wolves, but generally I agree, so many times he's in the position to whip a ball in but categorically refuses to. Sure, he might not be ace at crossing, but passing the ball around the box and eventually back to the centre backs is hardly helping us create chances....

The Fun Factory Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 We have to remember we bought Freddie in before promotion, so he was probably expecting championship football at Villa. Question is do you think he is of the same level of quality as our summer signings after the playoff win or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has a higher ceiling than some of our other signings, even though he might not be there yet. i still have more faith in him than a few. Just want him to rediscover that pace and terrier like hounding he showed early doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 One thing you know about Guilbert is he is going to give 100% every week and he'll always be fit enough (If not injured) to go the distance. He is a solid athlete. I don't think he's great. I think he is probably a Championship standard right back and he will almost definitely be one of the first names on the team sheet next year. How much did he cost, 4m? He's been one of our best signings and probably one of the cheapest. Just shows how much we done f***** things up, baby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have to do shit, he just has to get out wide and overlap which creates space for our wingers, strikers and midfielders to exploit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think he was allowed to cross the half way line let alone put a cross in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 2 seasons in a row he's been in relegation struggling sides. Will be good for him with a season in the Champ where he can look forward to games instead of dreading them Where he can improve his game instead of worrying about a superior opposition.

MotoMkali Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 My man of the match. Arsenal got no joy against him. He helped us attacking so much and locked down Tierney, Auba, Saka, Nketiah. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
