Keyblade Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 He had Reguilon scared shitless all game. Didn't know whether to stick or twist. Led to both of our goals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vreitti Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Plays football like a euphoric kid. Pure passion and instinct. How can you not love it!? Just imagine if he had more end product. Edited May 19, 2021 by vreitti 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 He can be infuriating but he’s so much fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 He was magical on the ball today. The way he just danced past Spurs players was hilarious. There was times he took a bit too long to shoot when it opened up but overall he had a great game imo. He’s so fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I love him, he’s so much fun to watch. He may not be perfect but he’s a real handful at times and always capable of some outstanding skill. I look forward to seeing him develop and get better next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he can certainly do the hard bit, if the coaches can do the business and make him a more complete player then he will be something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Good pressing from him to assist Watkins' goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steero113 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Becoming my favorite Villa player. If he can add even 20% end product on top of his stats this year he will be a cult legend at the club in a few years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Led to both of our goals. There's really something in this, he can make the wrong decision at times and he can frustrate, but he'll also make defenders feel stupid and twist them all over the shop, he must be mentally very difficult to play against. That unpredictability will do a defenders head in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 One of the most watchable players in world football, surely. I wonder if we'll ever turn him into the player he should be. There were signs today of some really intelligent football - the pressing, the gently weighted through balls, and the way he danced out of trouble in the middle of the park. But then also the usual fluffed shots and overplaying it. He's just such a likeable player, I really want him to succeed. Hope he keeps improving.

Enda Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Good to see his pressing getting rewarded today. Was exhausted and needed to be brought a wee bit earlier I thought. What a player, though. Any little bit of an improvement in his finishing and he'll be getting 10 goals a year. He's already on 6 or 7 isn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie, AEG, Jack all had chances where they'd could've and should've taken the shot but waited too long. Him just cutting through Spurs over and over was a joy to watch, though! Yes too much dithering in the box! Just smash the damn ball! lol Should have scored 5 goals really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The space it affords Traore and everyone else is amazing and contributed to our early season form. Dont like to blow my own trumpet, but it's amazing how much better everyone looks with Jack in the team. Especially when he's in the middle. Traoré had acres of space as the rest of their defence were worried about keeping Grealish quiet. Special shout out to Watkins who's endless running is the icing on the cake.

Now that could be said of most players but with Traore's attributes its particularly so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I know he gets some stick on here but I really like him. Traore is magical at times and he seems to best close to scoring goals the season. A good pre-season and I think he's going to improve and be such a key player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZZAM Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) He had a great chance when someone squared it to him in the box but refused to hit it with his right. Just unleash that right foot Bertie. Edited May 20, 2021 by KAZZAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted May 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 20, 2021 Better performance, if he can cut the silly mistakes out he will be a fantastic signing. Had a better season than Adama Traore and that says plenty about his potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 I’m really surprised by some of the comments in here re. Traore. He did ok last night, some great pieces of skill but I lost count of the times he got into good positions and wasted the opportunity. On the whole, I thought he had a good game, agreed, but he’s been poor in so many matches this season. A few bits of skill shouldn’t mask what has been a very ordinary season for him. I’ll be disappointed if he’s our starting right winger next season. We need much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there's been lows, but if he did what he could every single game, he'd be playing for man city. For a team trying to break into the top half, he is more than good enough. I bet there are plenty of prem teams who think they've missed out at the price we got him at. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
