WallisFrizz Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 To be fair, that Brazil squad is insane, very little shame in not getting picked and several first teamers from bigger clubs than ours also didn’t get selected. He’s young, he’s got plenty of opportunity to play for his country. His time will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 It looks like they set up very attacking with only 2 proper central midfielders and then 4 modern attackers in front of them so tough to get in, he's in the squad but Bruno Guimaraes doesn't look that regular a starter for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Luiz and Guimaraes would have been a great midfield combination for Brazil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinebro Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) Players really need to get out of their footballing bubble and realize what it has taken to build these blood stadiums in Qatar. Do not get upset for not getting picked. Have some perspective and see the bigger picture. Your time will come Dougie. Just have focus on Villa and work hard. Missing a controversial World Cup is not the end of the world. Edited November 8, 2022 by Pinebro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted November 8, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 8, 2022 Another good reason not to watch this farce of a world cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Strikes me as the kind of player who needs to learn his craft still (not in a bad way, he's looked great in that double pivot midfield) and I think having time with Emery and the coaching staff instead of going to the World Cup will be a real benefit for us. He can aim to be in their squad in 4 years time - he's still a young lad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallisFrizz Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 He’s having a good season and I’m a big fan but he needs to quit squaring up to other players in matches. He got his red card rescinded against Fulham but it’s a matter of time before he walks for it again. He had his forehead shoved up against someone, Fernandes I think, last night. Stop it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsey will play on the left or right, or in the attacking strata. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I love his passion and the fact that he never shirks a challenge. He stands his ground and refuses to be intimidated. Not a dirty player at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightdm00 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Was a goal line clearance away from another direct score off a corner. Wonder if McPhee and trackman helped there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 No way was the first his fault, but great character as always to put it behind him and win the ball superbly for our second. If he stays here long term, he'll be a club legend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
