He needs to improve his decision making and concentration in order to excel in his position. I think Drinkwater was brought in partly for Luiz' benefit. As they are similar players (deep lying playmakers). Drinkwater is a good example to learn from for Luiz. It's where having an experienced striker to give Wes a break would have helped. It doesn't really help young players if they keep getting picked when things arent going well for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Looking at his statistics for this season, they're quite sound. For every 90 minutes on field he averages 2 shots, 0.66 shots on target, over 0.25 goals or assists, 1.5 fouls drawn, over 0.5 key passes, over 4 passes into the final third, 0.8 passes into the 18yard box, 82% pass completion, 1 successful dribble,1.5 successful tackles and 1 interception.

That did not look comfortable. He wasn't 100% in the crowd, he was sort of dangling from the boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 it looked like Nakamba was about to strangle him on his way out of the holte end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted January 24, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 24, 2020 He's going to be a great player, has everything in his game apart from PL experience. Drinkwaters arrival will take some pressure of him and Nakamba. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Really nice interview with him on the Villa site! Seems to know his stuff and comes across very calm and collected about everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Epic celebration. He's a talented guy and a natural entertainer. I get why he isn't everybody's cup of tea yet and I appreciate why he isn't starting games right now. But I just love watching him play, he get's me off my arse. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 That strut back to the halfway line, absolute class. I bet Deeney loved that. Dougie is already a legend in my book. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the potential to be a good player. He’s shown he can score a few, he has a decent range of passing and looks technically sound. A bit more experience in this league will help him a lot.

Definitely want him to work on aerial stuff, only wins about 40% of his headers/aerial duels. Weakness I haven’t often seen him shrugged off the ball but I’d also expect this at 21 - definitely he should continue to improve this. Can’t tackle - he wins more than he loses. 60% according to the stats. Agree with you there is room for improvement on everything though. Lots of promise though, he’s going to be a very good player. For now if he keeps coming off the bench to get goals and assists that’ll do me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what you call bonding with the fans, he just couldn’t contain himself. IMO he desperately wants to be part of the Villa family, not just a body in the shirt. He’s young, far from home and away from Bodymoor is probably quite isolated now Wes is in Brazil. Make him feel loved & he’ll run through walls for this team, a key player in the making as he matures and develops. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we should have just bought one of those players that doesn’t make mistakes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
