I seem to remember him struggling briefly at the weekend with what looked like a pulled muscle in his leg. Didn't Steer warm up at one point or am I just imagining that?

Chindie Posted October 8, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted October 8, 2019 Steer warmed up early in the first half as it seemed like Heaton was struggling for a while. Might just be a precaution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zab6359 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Really hope it’s something minor would be huge to lose him and have the back 5 disrupted right now. With Liverpool and Man city coming up we need our best keeper to limit the damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the utmost respect for Steer, but Heaton is streets ahead DS knew we needed a better first choice keeper in this league that is why he was in the market for one as soon as we were promoted.

Heaton has been average so far. He's only outstanding game so far has actually been Leipzig in Pre Season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree I think he was a steal at the price we paid and has done well, the reason he may seem average to you is because he hasn't been called upon that much due to being behind a decent defense I expect the shots to rain in against Man city and Liverpool and expect to lose both games and reckon in at least one we will have our arses handed to us, I'd like our best keeper in goal for as many games as possible this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be a steal if he didn't keep making school boy errors. The penalty against bournemouth, the cross against Burnley, a 30 yard race for the ball against spurs where he has kicked it straight to their player, not coming quick enough for the ball against Norwich.

I will give you that one, the rest nah not for me goal keepers come into play so little during a game of football any slight mishap is exaggerated would rather have him over the No1 choice England keeper right now without hesitation.

Ridiculous notion. It's an account that reports on everything relating to Villa, transfer speculation, rumours, news, team line ups, etc. They're never ever claimed to be ITK or otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well tbf you have shown to have little faith in Smith and without him we definitely wouldn’t be in this league. So you must understand why people find that disappointing considering you feel the same way about Steer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accountability = ridiculous notion. Sounds about right for this day and age to be fair. I would never knowingly share something to be consumed by the public on a platform managed by myself without backing whatever content that might be. But then I guess I’m in a minority.
