But on a serious note it says this Shining in the Villa! The Brazilian midfielder has an excellent season, both in the Premier League and in the national team, and already speculates about a trip to Manchester City next season. I would like to add to that and what Luiz said a while ago on Twitter: "I've been doing my job at Villa, I don't really have conversations with City or Guardiola," he said. I believe he will tell PEP/City to do one and choose Villa.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 He didn’t play a forward pass for the first hour. Needs to contribute more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Thought Dougie was absolutely outstanding tonight. Bossed it from the middle. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was sideways and very often backwards, which is why we end up with Mings trying to play it forward so often. Considering that West Ham were standing off him he should have been able to move the ball forward a lot more. He picked up a bit in the last 20-30 min.

Popular Post rodders0223 Posted November 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2020 Best player on the pitch. Must have racked up 100 passes unlike Conor though his range of passing was more than 4 yards. Absolute pin point each time. Let down my the muppets in front of him and the muppets behind him. How anyone can make out Luiz is quite something. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you missed those 10 long balls forward, 9 of which found their man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of those were properly forward though as opposed to barely forward diagonals? He made some decent passes in the last 20 minutes, how many of your 10 passes were before then?

VillaChris Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I'd probably put him on penalties. No idea if he's ever taken one before in his pro career but South Americans are usually decent with their stutter run ups and giving keepers the eyes so I'd trust him more than half our squad continually missing them. Top class tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Can only echo what's been said above, brilliant tonight. Really dictated the pace of the game like you'd want a player in his role to do. Bit of a brain fart for the goal but he'll more than make up for it if he keeps this level up over the course of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I thought he was good tonight. Started to step out of midfield with the ball now as well. He’s so strong and hard to knock off the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He passes into space and always finds feet. That usually gets the ball moving forwards. He is a very fine player. My only worry is playing regularly for Brazil now and a crowded 2020-21 fixture schedule will inevitably mean he burns out at some point. We desperately need a plan B for when he isn’t available.

Johnnyp Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Best game in a villa shirt this season. When he moves into space and takes the ball on is when he's very effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
