Popular Post M_Afro Posted February 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2021 I love watching Bert play football. He has such natural ability. It is effortless at times. He just glides over the pitch with the ball at his feet. I genuinely can’t think of another former villa player like him. He is really working hard for the team now as well.

Was never against signing him at all myself but in fairness I can somewhat understand the wariness of people based on comments from Lyon fans even if it's a bit lazy, but some of the stuff which was essentially "never really seen him play but don't rate him and hope this doesn't go through" is...interesting to say the least.

robby b Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 After his attempted chip the camera shows him speaking angrily to someone, I wonder who he was speaking to and what he was angry about. Yes, the way he laid off the ball to McGiin in the build-up to our goal, wow! And then the perfect ball control and run around Gabriel, and the perfect pass to Watkins, superb.

Maybe someone was having a go at him for attempting the chip instead of putting his boot through it, either way he’s probably the best finisher at the club along with Ollie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 That final pass to Watkins with the outside of the foot is brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) He has amazing talent and should be in the team. but i think we have to be set up, so we have adequate defensive capability, not to expect too much defensive work from him....that means midfield need to do that job of supporting the full backs in time of need. his first touch, is up there with Jacks.

I'd like to see him play a bit more centrally. Perhaps that's the long term plan. As much as spunking 25m on Barkley would be statement of intent signing etc he hasn't quite shown enough yet and get the feeling Bert would be as productive in his position with how he's developing. Jack left, him centrally and then sign a new right winger with Trez back up and another striker and that's a really exciting set of options. Wonderful technical player and we're really seeing that now in games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides his excellent career record at CF most of his goals, assists or nearlys for us have been from #10 like positioning. At least Trez is excellent defensively Edited February 8, 2021 by Kiwivillan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want the amazing traps and settles he has no business doing and all the no look one time back passes, especially the ones in our own box. I think everyone should experience the intense joy and fear you get from watching Bertie do his thing. Love the guy. Never change Bertie. dont forget the cross his own defence defensive slice, its not intentional but its an entertaining heart in mouth moment. I think he knows what he is doing.....i hope 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
