MotoMkali Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 20 hours ago, VillaChris said: I did say for that purple patch he had last xmas, great goal v Palace and then scored v Chelsea two days later. Could understand why Barkley returned into 11 but he was very unlucky to lose his place at the time and that knocked his confidence for a few months. Wasn't he shortlisted for prem player of the month around that time? Yes, and he should have won it over fernandes. 5 in 6 not sure how he wasn't the clear winner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) Reported back with thigh injury whilst away on international duty, Didn't train yesterday so doubtful for tomorrow Edited October 15, 2021 by Kingman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) With no Bailey or Traore, Dean must start Buendia at the very least, maybe even look at Bidace or Anwar. I think it's pointless having Ings if we have no real service to him. Edited October 15, 2021 by VillanousOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I want this guy back in the starting 11. I think with him and Bailey on both wings we could be very dangerous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Tbh, I think he's a passenger just as often as he's an asset, and I'd expect it to be Buendia and Bailey out wide, with Traore an option from the bench 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Desperately need him back in the team. Not only is he unpredictable but holds the ball for others to have a breather 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is he unpredictable but holds the ball for others to have a breather At the moment we haven't many players who have composure on the ball. It's like a hot potato at the moment. Buendia ha shown glimpses but needs to improve, Matty Cash is good as is Doug but it looks like we'll need Bertie back to save the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 What's actually the issue? It was reported somewhere online he was in contention for Arsenal away so not sure what's up. We could certainly do with him as sub option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted November 7, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 7, 2021 Bert, where are you? We need you back! And not as a sub option, like we seemed to think a little while ago, but as a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) Quote Bertrand Traore’s agent responds to accusations that the Villa winger is faking his current injury Former Burkina Faso international Boureima Maiga made a number of claims about Villa’s Bertrand Traore including one stating that he is not currently nursing an injury Well this is weird, full story in link. https://www.birminghamworld.uk/sport/football/aston-villa/bertrand-traores-agent-responds-to-accusations-that-the-villa-winger-is-faking-his-current-injury-3460190 Edited November 17, 2021 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 Don't think he'll be a Gerrard type player at all tbh. Can see his Villa career fizzling out a little . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of his very good goals last season were his doing, moments of quick-thinking, finesse, skill etc. If he's fit I personally think he should be one of the first names on the starting eleven. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you'd hope, is that Gerrard sees these players qualities, and simply enhances them with strength, aggression and defending, that's all they are missing. Would be a waste of a very gifted player otherwise. I love hard work and graft, but don't necessarily want a team of old school cloggers either .
