JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) 6 hours ago, MaVilla said: tbh, from what i have seen if him, i really think he plays better a little more centrally, like one of the 2 in a 3421 type formation, or even a 10 in a 4231. He seems to fare much better when he can drift left or right rather than cutting in from the wing, he also seems to be more of a threat centrally in and around the box. If I remember correctly, that's where he actually said he likes to play in an early season interview. The " Axial position " or something like that, I'll try to find the quotes.

Don't think we're quite there yet. Tbh when we have a pretty solid, non-leaky defence it makes having someone in the attacking third who can produce magic on a regular basis more valuable than someone who puts a defensive shift in imo. It's still definitely something he can work on for his second season mind you, as well as having the option to rotate him out sometimes (we missed Trez for big chunks of the season for that). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone care to explain what the hell the "axial" position is? Is that a striker? Did a google search of it, and the best which came up was my own Villatalk quote from last year... lol. Did anyone answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some wrote off Targett for similar reasons last year now he is a different animal. not just Targett though, Konsa as well was wrote off as a player out of his depth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoMkali Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Very good today. Created our 2nd and probably could have had 3 assists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouUnastanFren Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I thought he was really good today. Constant threat, bullied the fullback, created a goal with his pressing, made plenty of chances by coming inside. Fantastic talent. Cannot wait to see him when he's had a full preseason and we've added even more quality around him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Shoooootttt! Just shoot! Lol. Great performance today except the shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Good today. His decision making though... Really is playing with the maturity of a 12 year old at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Pressed well, but needs to learn that you don’t have to dribble past every player before shooting. Unsurprisingly played better when Grealish was on the pitch. Next season should be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Yeah one of those "if only he didn't take 30 touches before deciding what to do" type of games. Got in some great positions but don't think he even tested Lloris once apart from that shot that flashed wide. He's good....but he'd be world class if he was more decisive with his decision making. And not playing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Coleman summed him up, one second he looks as if he should be playing for Real Madrid, the next he should be playing park football. Like El ghazi, with a bit more consistency and better choices he could be a very, very good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I still can't understand how someone so technically gifted can be so one-footed. I just don't get it. His insistence on getting in on his left side is borderline funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 We've had some infuriating players over the years but he's right up there. One minute sublime, the next embarrassing. Today he was a world beater... til it required end product. Could, and really should, have put that game to bed several times over. I just think he's all natural ability which means the second he has to think it all goes to pot, so he sublimely controls, turns, nutmegs and goes on a run... Then his brain kicks in and he forgets to shoot, kicks the ground or plays a stupid ball. Think of his goals this season; largely first touch quality.
