He often lacks awareness of those around him. Can’t play with a strike partner, but also isn’t good enough to lead the line and score goals. But pointless having him then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 he's good enough to press at the top end of the pitch, at his best that's how smith set us up, smiths' improvement of the defence in the 2nd season can be attributed to a few things (martinez in goal for one) but ollie's press was a big part of it the shame is that buendia looks like he could do it too but that's not how we play if we used him right and got him confident there's a good player in there somewhere, unfortunately at the moment we seem to be at the opposite end of that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Needs to learn to stay onside. Amazed he finished, but didn't check his lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Absolute passenger We're not even close to getting him involved, nowhere near him half the time, ball or team mates, that run he had around the 35th minute when he carried it 40 yards down the touchline there wasn't another villa player in the same postcode as him, 3 defenders absolutely no pass Haaland would struggle for villa tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AV82 Posted October 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2022 Every single player now looks a shadow of themselves. Watkins is no different. Sack the manager and get someone capable in and we'll see a different Watkins. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Can't believe his highlight tonight was running 40 yards and losing the ball. Wouldn't even get £10m for him. What a regression. Davis looks more of a striking menance that he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) I found it ironic that the one piece of good play involved him chipping the ball ever so slightly. Just think, if only he could do that in other situations.. Edited October 10, 2022 by Delphinho123 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
