Was the best i have seen of him today but you have to temper it with the fact Brentford were pretty crap today bar the 2 goals I don't know that you can call what he did today as the #10 role...he was a wide forward.

How come VAR picks up tiny details but does not pick that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hilarious how low we've fallen. Still no way near good enough for the money we've paid. Finally manages? He's done plenty, and he has more quality than most of the signings we've seen over the years. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the issue with this forum, there is so much negativity towards our players, they have a good game and oh they are still crap. There are about 30% of people on here that just troll, go support se some shite team like Leeds or SHA... I know it is a forum and everyone is entitled to an opinion but FFS when give the bloke a break. He played well, give some credit where it is due...

useless Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 We need him to start scoring more goals, one in seventeen isn't good for someone who's playing in the front three. Because of how deep our midfield plays, it means if the wingers/wide forwards aren't scoring, we're too reliant on Watkins/Ings for goals. As it stands Buendia, Traore, Trezeguet, El Ghazi, and Bailey have only scored three league goals between them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to play as a 10 which doesnt really suit our system at all. Square peg. He cuts in from the side. That's typical for modern forwards. It's interesting that some people on here say "he's not comfortable as a #10" while others say "he wants to play as a #10." I'm not saying that you, personally, are inconsistent, just that as a group, Villa fans see very different things in him. Part of the problem is that calling someone a #6, #10, or whatever brings baggage with it going all the way back to the days of the W-M. That baggage doesn't always fit modern tactics.

Farlz Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 The whole little build up and then pass from Buendia for our goal is exactly why I said a few weeks ago that he just has to play no matter what. There isn't another single player in our entire squad who could or would do that, without him it's pretty grim. Just have to accept his dodgy spells and hope his special moments start to translate more into full special matches soon. Obviously not reached that point yet but I think he's definitely getting better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to play as a 10 which doesnt really suit our system at all. Square peg. Gerrard system puts the 2 players behind the strikers more narrowly than Smiths system. Saying they play either wide or as a 10 are both correct and wrong. They play as both, generally stationed between the two positions.. Easy to spot in our defending, the two CMs are the ones out wide to defend while the two CAM/IF/wingers do it centrally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with supporting Leeds! Buendia is slowly starting to settle. It will continue to take time. He can do things that no other player in the Villa squad can do. Ings is a much better fit for Buendia than Watkins. Watkins is a pretty "dumb" footballer, he never makes the right runs or plays the right pass, he's a bull in a china shop type of CF (who will score his goals, no doubt). In contrast, Ings has the intelligence to see the runs he should be making when Emi gets the ball, they link up far better as a pair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 2 goals really though if you include the Leicester goal that the tip of Konsa's toenail caught. It was a great header from Buendia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
