Sulberto21 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Loved his reaction to their penalty miss. I love players who have that mental edge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 He was this good before the covid outbreak imo and had been for some time. I'm not at all surprised he is playing at this level again. Being part of a functioning 3 helps as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Never been a massive fan of Dougie but he’s improved this season, hopefully he keeps improving. Would love him to prove me wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono62 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 He's a man reborn. Seems the Olympic gold has motivated him. This is the Luiz we signed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 2 hours ago, Zero7 said: Does anyone else think he’s bulked up a bit, he looked bigger and menacing today, quality performance Still very lean, but he’s stronger, no doubt. Which is what you would expect of a player at his age. I’ve noticed he’s been flexing a lot recently on Instagram, so probably aware of the criticism and been told to do more gym work by the coaches. Whatever it is, it’s working. I thought a number of our players looked really physically imposing today… obviously the CBs, as you’d expect, but Dougie, McGinn, Watkins and to a lesser extent Ramsey, all seem to have gone up a level physically this season.

May-Z Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 He's helped massively by the formation. It means he has bodies around him rather than being isolated like at points last year in a 433. The spare CBs are pushing up to stopt he clear run at goal and his CM partners are pressing the right areas further up without him having to cover too much space. It also puts Villa players in areas where his quick, clever passing can happen, instead of having to hold on to the ball for longer before finding a route out. Its made everyone look a bit better tbh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiltorken Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Dougie is well and truly back, immense today. That pass against Everton to cash was poetic. So glad he's still here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJay Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Only turned 23 in the summer, a Brazil international, Olympic gold winner and an Aston villa player. Needs a new contract asap. Only going to accumulate in value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto_Villan Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 It does seem to have worked out well for us that his form has returned shortly after his buyout clause expired! Very pleased to see him getting back to his previous heights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 He’s always been good. I just think he’s fully fit now. As always we forget he’s still just a kid. He’s only going to get better. Pep didn’t sign him for no reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggy_333 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Obviously he didn't want to go back to City so he let his performances tail off to make Pep not want to sign him back. Elite level intelligence! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
