ejvilla Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Great performance today. Kept us in it. Distribution was good. He badly needed a game like that. Hopefully back to the Emi of old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post villabromsgrove Posted September 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2022 He is a totally driven character and 100% in love with Villa. I would hand him the captain's armband for the next match against Southampton. Mcginn is a shadow of his former self and we need new inspiration. Who is more inspirational Than Emi Martinez? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyVillans Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 There is a replay where martinez was walking with no issues and talking to mings like they were discussing something and then martinez throws the ball out and goes down injured. Definitely went down on purpose to kill the game a bit so we don't concede straight away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinez ‘injury’ was a planned tactic, think the ref knew it aswell but couldn’t do much about it, worked perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 That finish yesterday was top class, and exactly why he needs to play on the right. Him and Watkins caused all sorted of problems for City. Its just a shame we don’t have a right-footed player like Bailey that can play on the left when required.

Classic VT, always trying to play a person in a different position. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onmeedson Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Emi has in general been top class for us, but just when he first came he was catching the ball far more often than he is doing now, the modern trait is to parry the ball but how many goals come from just pushing the ball out. He looked so commanding catching the ball so for me can we go back to his old ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I love Emi but he’d be the first to admit he’s been at fault for 2, maybe 3 of the last 3 goals we have conceded. Great goalie but needs to be doing better in certain situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can be critical of him but to be fair to him we’ve just faced two of the best attacking sides in the prem and he’s been v overworked. He pulled off some great saves in both matches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weedman Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I've been thinking of the captaincy. Mings has improved I think without it, McGinn has shriveled with it, but Emi seemed to absolutely thrive with the armband yesterday. He was back to his best, winding up the crowd, making good saves, and just making the whole defence assured in those last few minutes. I think he should be taking the captaincy full time, his personality just seems ready made to be captain and he's at his best when he's fired up and given responsibility. He's a natural leader in this team 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
