It used to be the case that the championship is more physical but over the last ten seasons with the likes of Pep and Klopp coming in its changed. A season in the championship is only beneficial to youth players with no experience of men's football from premier League clubs. The gap is huge.

I think the emphasis is more on physicality because the level of ability is lower. But that doesn’t mean it’s more physical. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has come along a lot but he’s a million miles away from Man City quality. There’s only one player Pep will be buying from us this window, and it’s not Luiz Trez? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue it was more physical in the past however it's nowhere near the Premier League in any metric now and for the last ten seasons at least maybe even longer in terms of physicality. This is how it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The physical strength required to play in the premier League is much higher now than ever before. My point wasn’t about the physicality of the PL, it was about him still being a young player, the physicality of the Championship would make him a better player, without the pressure of the PL. You make a mistake in the PL you get punished, in the Championship far less often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you've started to acclimatise to the Premier League the last thing you need is playing against average players. If he stays I'll be very happy However the best chance of keeping him as a Villa player is by him going on loan and we take him back hopefully if we're promoted again.

I don’t see how this helps the club, when the major issues are the lack of experience of the players playing at PL level and playing games together and having a solid tactical understanding within the playing group. If we keep most of this squad together for 50 games in the Championship, they will be promoted and be a far better team and PL ready. You can’t manufacture a team, it has to be built, something this club haven’t been able to do for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So at least that gives you a “yo”, if not a full “yo-yo”. I don’t think Souness is talking as much shit as people think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I like the way Dean Smith(?) screams "Dougie! Dougie!" all the time urging our players to pass it to Luiz. It's a great nickname, Dougie! Dougie! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_1989 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Very very good again. Intercepted some big plays. Can move the ball forward quickly too. Whatever the outcome of this season we need to keep him. He could be the lynchpin in the middle when jack goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Another great performance by Luiz today, I hope he's with us next season. He's really starting to grow in this team and his influence is also growing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
