villabromsgrove Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I want Grealish to look to his left when he's in possession and see an overlapping wing back he can pass to who he trusts not to waste the ball. Against Everton his reluctance to pass to an available Taylor was glaringly obvious. Targett is a ball playing wing back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I mentioned that in a previous post, when Taylor went forward he was actively ignored numerous times by players who could have passed to him, pretty obvious why..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjavfc Posted August 27, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2019 Hopefully we'll see him tonight. We paid £14m for Targett which is still pretty decent money for an untested full back, so I can't see him being any other than first choice left back going forward.

ferguson1 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Frustrating start to his Villa career. Gutted for the lad, just hoping it's only a minor injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Real shame. Looked poor defensively, but showed enough to see he is very comfortable going forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybloke Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Didn't look comfortable in the time he was on the pitch to me. Always a risk seeing how 1 player looks when you change the back line and entire rest of team bar jota. Fingers crossed it is a minimal tweak, he tried to run it off 5 mins before he went off.

villalad21 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Did not look great tbh. Regardless, gutted for his injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHV Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Hause can cover left back and Taylor has done nothing wrong so far. I'm not too concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Well as someone who wanted him to play over Taylor, I can see why he hasn't. Didn't look quite right tonight, got beat too easily. Gutted he's picked up that injury as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 to be honest, didnt get much chance to show anything before the injury. All i learnt really, that is he needs to work on the defensive side of his game, while being actually quite good going forward and retaining the ball, which is basically what we knew already. did ok tbh imo.

Turns out just because you're a new signing doesn't automatically make you a better player than what you already got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit worrying thou if we've spent £14m or whatever on a LB who isn't better than the rather average and limited Taylor. And that he's now injured to boot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Didn't look that bad to me, whilst he was on the pitch Nakamba and Lansbury weren't having the best of games and now everyone is purring over them, if Targett had have stayed on maybe he would have improved equally.
