Tidy finish when offside from Samatta... didn't really have anything else to work with! He looks a decent player; hopefully we can actually include him in games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think any of our players did anything particularly well today. Not even a little. But Reina had a lot to do, think he had 7 saves or something along with a few claims. On the list of least bad Mings and Ally are probably ahead but Reina did his job for the most part. Not many players who can say they did that today.

Why the sarcasm? Our players aren’t good enough to play that way so why are we doing it? Im totally with you, we should be able to but if we can’t, stop trying it. We need to play to our strengths (give the ball to Grealish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway mate in all honesty as I said above, i'm just pissed off, not trying to argue with anyone. Just proper, proper pissed off. Guess my larger point is that we have scapegoated too often one way or another without realising that as a unit we have overall simply not been good enough! I've personally been guilty of this myself. So many games were there for the taking, we pissed them all away, we can;t even do the basics right, something is fundamentally wrong. I watched this match with my mother, she doesn;t know much about football, but watches Villa when i'm around as she knows how much it means to me. Her comments were scarily accurate ffs. "Southampton are working very hard " "Why do Aston Villa always give the ball to the other team?" " They are not giving this boy Grealish any chance and no one is helping him ?" " They are not trying hard" I like Samatta ALOT! Etc Etc etc Edited February 22, 2020 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, lets see if Sammy has the next 11 games like that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t do himself justice sometimes but I believe there is a player in there. As for Samatta he’s looked like he can do something whenever he gets the ball, yet didn’t get it today at all. Just so disappointed this evening. I want us to win the cup but I just don’t care, I just want to not get relegated. Today was more important for me than next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 shortish article on him in the mail https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8057521/Meet-Titan-Tanzania-Ally-Samatta-wants-thrill-Aston-Villa-faithful-Wembley.html When he was growing up, Ally Samatta thought he might become a soldier. ‘I just wanted to work for the people; just to be someone for the people,’ he says. In the end, football offered him a different life. It took him away from his native Tanzania to Belgium and, as of January, to Aston Villa.

sidcow Posted March 1, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) I said In the match thread, he's been feeding off scraps since he's been here really. But give him the decent chance and he'll score. Always looks involved. Edited March 1, 2020 by sidcow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Super header. The one chance we supply him and he tooks it away superbly, we just need to find a way of giving him more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 If we do get relegated he’ll be one of the reasons we’ll come back up, I think he’s going to be a bit of legend. Maybe not for a world class talent/ability but he’s going to be folk hero and score us some goals. He just needs chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
