A'Villan Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Heaton has a much better chance of returning than Wesley does. Repetitive strain as a cause for injury, especially with ACL's is an issue. Heaton don't have to use his knees all that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about using your knees repetitively and covering 10km+ on average per game, as opposed to having to jump what, at most 20 times over 90 minutes? There's a huge difference, if you're interested, because Heaton has ample time in between exerting his muscles to recover and rest, whereas an outfield player doesn't. It's like the cartilage in your jaw which acts like a sponge, if you were to chew constantly 24/7, it would wear that sponge-like cartilage down so there would be no cushioning. It needs time to regenerate itself again and restore itself to it's full capacity, constant pressure will mean that it remains deflated and unable to protect the bone. In ACL injuries cartilage is often an issue, because it is the cushion between bones and acts as a support for smooth movement, if it is damaged, pain or further risk of injury occurs. Someone like Heaton is much better placed to continue his career than an outfield player. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Heats on MOTD2. Decent analysis of Sheffield United game. Asked him about the injury and judging from what he's said not sure he'll make the start of next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I would have expected him to miss it by a few games. 9 months from when he did it would put us about 4(?) games into a PL season or 6 or 7 (?) into a Championship one.

alexvilla4 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 How highly do you rate Tom Heaton in terms of prem keepers? I think a lot of Heaton and he is definitely the man we need between the sticks, but I also think the quality of prem keepers has been pretty high this year also. I think better than him in the prem (in no order) is currently: Alisson Ederson De Gea Dubravka Pope Henderson Leno Rui Patricio Schmeichel I would probably put him similar to Fabianski, Lloris, Kepa, Foster and better than Pickford, Ramsdale, Ryan, Krul, McCarthy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does Pickford get picked ahead of him for England then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Pickford is the worst starting keeper in the league, only picked because he is a Southgate favourite. One of reasons Jack doesnt get picked as not a Southgate favourite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ability wise I think he's the best villa keeper ever. Unbelievably solid, holds everything tricky low and bouncing. Don't know if he'll ever get back to where he was at his age. Huge blow losing him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickford was brilliant in the 2018 World Cup and for Everton, hence why he gets picked consistently as England no.1 and has been for quite some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I think Heaton is a good keeper. Better than Steer and Nyland, it's a shame he got injured when he did as his experience could have helped us through the difficult fixtures and our bad run coincided with his absence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most goals conceded in the Premier League this season by a goalkeeper and has conceded over 200 goals in 3 and a half seasons as a Premier League goalkeeper. Cant be a coincidence that his defences are always shit He has no presence, always has a mistake in him, average on the ball, matchstick arms and is also a prick. Nyland and Steer are probably better keepers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddytheVillan Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Any chance Heaton will be fit for any part of the season (assuming a completion date of late July)? And if so, anyone know if he will be eligible to play? He would be a huge improvement on Reina or Nyland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great signing by Smith for £8m, we look far more stable at the back when we have Heaton in between the sticks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
