Zatman Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 He got an assist, nearly a 2nd one for Cash. He probably should have connected better with another chance from Diaby. We also created a couple more good chances on Saturday I don't think our attack is an issue. Havent we scored in all but one game under Unai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a great save from Ollie. He's a confidence player isn't he. During our hot streak last season he showed he does have a first touch and the finesse to score goals so hopefully he'll get back on track with that. 1st half of the season he would often blast the ball at the keeper instead of trying a different technique. But weve seen he is capable. What I want to see from him this season is a bit more proactive in the box and gamble on those balls across goal.

VillaChris Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Probably my one disappointment of today, get the feeling with the penalty misses in pre season he's started this season with a lack of confidence and seems a step off in some of our counters/hold up play. Didn't matter today but one thing's for sure that as the season progresses, we can't have the CF constantly rolling chances past the post when Diaby is setting them up perfectly.

Troglodyte Posted August 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2023 I like Ollie but he was poor today. Struggles against physicality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted August 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2023 Not great, but did win the penalty so y’know, not all bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightdm00 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Another assist today. He scores that chance if Pickford doesn't throw a roundhouse punch and a judo shin kick combo. Also, he is fit and still full of running. Goals will come, keep working Ollie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Because Everton were so poor he won't get any credit for that game being far tougher than it looked I thought Keane and Tarkowski spent the whole game having sly digs at him, every time the ball went up in the air they played the man, it was a proper battle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allani Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I still think he'll break the 20 goal mark this season - but he was poor today. Gave the ball away too easily too often. But hopefully he'll fix that next week with a couple of goals. I think he'll enjoy playing with Zaniolo and Diaby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeroy Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Looked to me like he didn't care about scoring today against a poor Everton team. Weird as I thought all strikers wanted to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slams into the post at full stretch, spends 15 seconds on ground, hops up and continues running full tilt til he is substituted. He cares, alot. We have a good one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 he's just so poor technically, a couple of times where he gets the ball and starts a run, you just know he isnt going to pass it (as he doesnt have great vision), and he will just run in to a player and get dispossessed, 93rd min versus Brighton was a classic, and he did it a couple of times today also, he just isnt a technical player, playing in a team that tries to be technical. He is a good striker, but a bit like Cash imo, his weaknesses are very much on show when he has some very technical players around him. I dont dislike Watkins, he has a lot of strengths, but my lord is he technically poor. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
