DJBOB Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Not his best half, but I think Unai will select him a lot for his ability to play in the outside CAM roles. Unique in his ability to link from defense to attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Cant be too critical. His brain is always ticking and hes always trying things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Thought he was only negative today. His passing was afrul today. Kept losing the ball. Has to step up this is not good enough under emerys villa 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I thought he was great first half hour, was finding space in the final third brilliantly and they couldn't handle him until Casemiro did that scissor kick tackle on him. Only issue is for space he gets into he makes some odd choices sometimes as to who to pass to and when. However we were spoilt for years with Grealish usually making the right decision in final third so that's just the level below of attacking players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Needs to improve for me and become stronger. But did great for the 3rd goal. his run opened the space for Ramsey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomC Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 He looked like he had a bit too much caffeine today. He had some good ideas but was overexcited and missed some passes that you'd usually expect him to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted November 6, 2022 Author Share Posted November 6, 2022 Difficult for me to criticise him as I didn’t see the game, but how many times did he give the ball away today? Is he still our weakest link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Overall, he's had a good game. A lot of our possession, and more importantly, our possession that carried intent, came through him. He gets caught sometimes and has one too many stray passes but if your looking for a player that does the same and doesn't make any errors then they are called Silva and used to play for Man City.

rodders0223 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 He can be sloppy but his one touch play to full backs is class. I can't grasp how you can have a player like Emi and not use him. Football for all the great tactics and philosophy first and foremost us about running and out working your opponent. He's a **** animal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He harried well and used the ball well most of the time...but then gave it away cheaply under no pressure that even some of our U11s wouldn't have done. A score of 6.7 from Sofa Score seems about right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Some of his passing is very sloppy, frustratingly so. Rest of his passing is quite superb, takes him less than a second to spot a forward pass into a channel that's on, and he usually executes them.

Keyblade Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 He wasn't at his best today but he was still crucial for the third goal, and his tenacity helped set the tone early. Wasn't it around this time last season that he really hit his stride after a run of games? I'm expecting the same again now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 The lad was probably just trying too hard, which i can understand, but he did decent and as usual threw himself in to the game. Lets not forget, in nearly 1.5 seasons he has only started 3 or more games in a row two or three times before i think for us, the guy must be.....maybe not rusty.....but no way he can be fully in his groove with how often he has been benched in the last 12 months. tbh, if Buendia was our biggest issue after beating Manure at home for the first time in 27 years, i'll take it. The lad is clearly talented when on form, and he works like a trojan, i think Emery is going to love him, and when Emi 2 starts to feel loved and hopefully realises he is now a big part of the starting 11, he might, hopefully, improve further under Emery's guidance.

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 The more time he spends with our new coaching team the better he will get. Today he wasn't near his best but was still effective at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
