tinker Posted August 31, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 31, 2022 Playing badly , can't believe it's the same player from the start of his villa career. We seem so exposed out wide, desperate stuff tonight from him, confidence is shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Like many of our players, he's in a rut at the moment. Not played well today or lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Not being helped by our system which asks the full backs to be bombing up the wing as creators one minute, then dealing with 2 on 1's defensively the next 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Painfully limited with the ball at his feet. Also had a shocker for the 2nd goal, final phase and before it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 The curse of player of the season has struck again. Woeful performance tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 On one hand, lapses of concentration in defense and really not a RWB. On the other hand, absolutely gassed from having little coverage on his side. Can feel a bit about it both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 The way he completely forgot about Martinelli for their second goal is inexcusable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I would start Young on Saturday. Or maybe Chambers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheVilla26 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I thought he was poor tonight, especially in our emergency area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chine Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Typical performance of a player with too many jobs on , he has no one to overlap who will then cover him while he recovers and by the time he gets back he’s mind is scrambled so cannot do his defensive role properly, needs to be 70% RB & 30% RWB not the other way round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball-watching was his weak spot at the beginning of his Villa career. He got much better about it last year until the last game, when his ball-watching was entirely responsible for City's first goal and arguably for the 3rd. Today, he did it again. Regression...like so many others at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Right back is a position I’d be looking to upgrade. It’s probably not a priority for this window though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Following the normal trajectory most young players do at Villa. Plateaued. Stiffled. He was improving lots at Forest. We sign players and are like “ ok, off ya go “ Happens so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
