Popular Post Vive_La_Villa Posted February 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2021 He’s not incredible for his age. Far from it. But he is very good for his ages and for where we are as a club. I don’t get why people have to moan about him being overrated by Villa fans instead of just enjoying what he offers. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I think he is the third best player at the club, after Jack and Emi who are world class. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really thought about it but I think this accurate. This time last year I'd have probably said Mings was our second best player but since then we've made incredible signings and others have improved so much that he barely makes the top 10 now (semi-joking). What a testament to the recruitment and coaching that is. Edited February 11, 2021 by YouUnastanFren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I'd keep him on bench for a 35/40 min cameo. Feels like ages since we've had one of his insanely good sub appearances, had plenty last year. One at Brighton as I recall as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nepal_villan Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 A silver lining in Luiz's under-the-radar performances this year is that it may mean Man City will not take-up his option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody1000 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Christ on a bike, it’s as bad as Twitter on here!! Dougie is quality, he just had a bit of a dip but he will be back to that player. He was the least deserving of the drop from our midfield 3 on Saturday if you ask me, based on match performances anyway, but I fully expect him to come back in for Brighton.

I don’t think they will. I love Dougie, I think he’s a great player. But Man City are just on another level and have players in that area. I can see Man City spending big on a striker and that’s about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, he has been a weak link since we returned from the covid shenanigans though. I'm surprised that is being questioned, and I think he's ace. His potential is Brazil captain, but he needs to find some consistency to become a regular starter for them. The back end of last season and the start of this needs to become the norm, because it's not a position you can flit in and out of form in and expect to be named amongst the elite. Worth remembering that he's 22 and playing in said tough position at the highest level, so it's par for the course that he'll have ups and downs. No matter how talented. Hard to think of many complete deep lying playmakers at his age? Edited February 12, 2021 by dont_do_it_doug. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
