Tom13 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Btw his post game interview (have to pay on Villa TV) is now on Facebook. He's a great lad Targett! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like target more than most. His form nosedived without Jack in front of him. But now the midfield is functioning again his form has picked up again. The one who did this match was just shocking! Quota hitting at it's finest. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Think he literally just needed a rest. He's clearly a good player with ability. Madness to suggest he was made to look amazing because he was playing behind Grealish or he's not actually good or he can't attack or can't defend. He seems to get so many different criticisms leveled at him, which I find tends to point to the fact that a player is out of form or fitness and people aren't sure what's wrong so everyone's just plucking different reasons out the air. I think we'll be after another left back but I think it's his shirt to lose and I don't think he'll lose it easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted November 30, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 30, 2021 This thread has gone a bit mad. I wonder if we don’t actually need to ‘upgrade’ Targett but just use him differently? I see a lot of people still thinking that LB is our weak link. I think it is in terms of depth, but Targett has, to my mind, proved himself a very able LB. Our best since… maybe Bouma!? So far Gerrard seems to be getting a lot out of him so long may it continue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 He’s had a decent half but should have headed their first goal away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) Just no way he is our starting lb next season. His defending is so last ditch and panicky. His lack of pace is very telling. Would be fine as a squad man but we really need to upgrade. Edited December 1, 2021 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need other fullback options point blank, that position requires alot of energy under Gerrard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted December 2, 2021 Moderator Share Posted December 2, 2021 Tiggsy. Apparently Tiggsy should be fine for the weekend according to the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) Haha everyone calls him Tigs. I really like Targett. I saw a bit of the Arsenal performance at the weekend though, and that Nuno Tavares (when he's not tongue kissing his dog and filming it) looks very good. He looked an absolute powerhouse, and can also beat a man using skill as well as his pace. If we had someone like that, I can't help but think it would add another dimension to our play. Tbf at RB Cash has the power and pace, just not the skill and has average technique. Tavares had a Djimi Traore moment the week before though so maybe someone without an error like that in him.

gilbertoAVFC Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Ducked under Dias' shot. Went off but will be back for weekend. Just another day in the life of Matt Targett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Ducked like a coward instead of facing the ball head on. Wasn't Emi's fault at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 The shot took a deflection off Bailey. He didn’t duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Back to on topic Targett should have done better with the goal but no way did he duck. He missed the flight of the ball due to slight deflection. It was a mistake, these things happen. To call him a coward is scandalous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he’s trying to head it, which is why he’s in Emi’s line of sight. Ironically if he had just got out of the way Emi would probably have had a better sight of it. But it was properly placed in the corner so a keeper would do well to get there even with full sight of it. Not Targett’s fault or Emi’s, the chance probably should’ve been snuffed out higher up the pitch. All easy to say in hindsight though, and that’s why football coaching is difficult!

Bailey's attempt at a block is pretty pathetic to be fair! I'm not jumping on his back, but it wasn't great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t particularly like it, but it works so if you can’t beat them then join them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
