Sorry, where did I say we can replace him for under £50m? I just said are we not allowed to discuss his limitations? Especially if we want to push towards Europa/eventually CL spaces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoMkali Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 2 hours ago, Tomaszk said: If you want to count two games as "the start", then clearly yes. He wasn't right last week and didn't play well yesterday at all. Not fun against those CBs though. Schar, Botman, Keane, Tarkowski. They are CBs that beat you up. I mean he got in goal scoring positions. Torres robbed him of a goal by trying to flick it on to him and sending it behind his outstretched leg so he ended up clearing instead of tapping it in. And he had a shot cleared off the line as he was taken out by their keeper. He also missed a one on one. Like not great he didn't score but on the other hand having 4 good goalscoring opportunities in 2 games is very good and hopefully will translate to 20 goals scored this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightdm00 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Man some of these comments. Will probably be the same guys screaming bloody murder if he doesn't sign his contract extension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macandally Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 1 hour ago, Tom13 said: Because he has weaknesses that are blatantly on show every week, so we like to discuss them. Should we all pretend he's perfect? We all know your views mate, been here a few times! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 If he didn't have a weakness or two he would currently be leading the line for a Bayern Munich or someone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted August 21, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2023 He's going to score plenty this season if he stays fit. We're now a team that makes a lot of chances 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you did, and I don't think DakotaVilla suggested you did. But now the question has been asked can you have a pop at it, please? 1 hour ago, Tom13 said: I just said are we not allowed to discuss his limitations? Of course, you are allowed to discuss what you consider his limitations are. Of course in the next decade or so all the players will be replaced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6065_Villa Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Working hard as always and good to see he's getting assists. Just needs to get off the mark (which I think he will do against Hibs) then he'll be away like the back end of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Such a typical Ollie half. Bullies the entire back line, linking up play and carrying the ball well. Two goals, but missed a basically empty net with a header over the top and should have put another one target when through. All part of the experience.
