I don't think any of this is true. Conor's set pieces are ok, they've not been great this season so far. And from what I've seen of Traore's (a small sample size I admit) they look excellent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started as soon as he signed. So strange. Yeah agreed 100% Seems to be a handful of posters who were dead against this since before he even signed, and no surprise they seem to be the biggest critics after Saturday (where the general consensus seems to be he was fine) I'll bet most of them have hardly seen him play before he joined us either. Edit: That's not to say he isn't shit. I have no idea. I'm just surprised people are so quick to jump to that conclusion based on what little we've seen from him.

Not true. Conor's runs into the box is a great asset. He has this ability to be at the right place at the right time. That's why he score so many goals from midfield. Lampard had this ability as well. And something we'll miss when Barkley is out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him some time especially when we are looking for a number 10 replacement not a CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Lyon fans warned us about this) and he seem very predictable to defend against. Time will tell how it goes, but i have my concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I think Connor is one of the most underrated Villa players of all time, even if he has some very obvious flaws. I wouldn't know who is better to come in for Barkley between him and Traore, actually think it is nice problem for Dean to have. I don't know how Traore will turn out for us, it's too early to judge, but I wouldn't say I had seen anything that made me concerned about him.

If there was ever evidence that Villalad is a troll it came in this post where he complained about Traore being one footed, championing instead the very one-footed Hourihane. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hourihane isn't a winger. It is much less problematic if you're a central midfielder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdman Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 We can't afford to have a one trick pony playing! Yes hes been fantastic for us and yes he can play well when the going is good but it's too risky imo. I think we need to invest minutes in Traore and use Connor as backup. If Dean picks Conor then fair play I will always back him and hope he scores but I just don't think he's the best option for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Dean will surely back his £19m signing to deliver in the next few games. Got to give him a run of starts you’d think. He has obvious qualities, one being his dead ball delivery. Just have to hope Jack can be as influential if he is moved from the left because I dont think he was as soon as he was moved on Saturday.
