VillanousOne Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Easily one of our best players, the expectations of him are comedy and unrealistic, if Emery can build his confidence and manage him correctly he will be a game changer. At the moment he blows hot and cold and he gets too frustrated when things don't come off, but his work rate and effort can't be faulted, he just needs a run of games and proper coaching to get the best out of him. At the moment he and McGinn are the only two players who even attempt to unlock the defence, we seem to get very little from repetitive easily blocked low crosses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 All depends on whether Unai decides to set up the team to take advantage of his chance creation or not. He might want to go another way. But i am sure that he will be a huge part of our success if he does. Love Emi and always will do. He is a fighter .

Nowhere near being one of our best players. Luiz, Kamara, Bailey, Ramsey, Mings, Cash, Martinez, Digne and Coutinho are all better. I think we’ll be looking to bring in a striker and a wide player in January with Buendia and Watkins place up for grabs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I just don’t think it’s going to work out for Emi at Villa. I predict he will leave in the summer, having failed to nail down a regular starting place. I really hope that he will prove me wrong still but I just don’t see what a lot of our fans do. His stats in the PL are poor and I think that’s backed up by his performances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia made 17 starts in 2022 17 starts thats more than i thought. That make it even worse 12 hours ago, Villan_of_oz said: So you expect a young player, still finding his feet at a bigger club, to perform on the rare occasions he is picked, in a team that was devoid of any attacking plan. Righto... You are aware buendia is 26 not exactly young? These should be coming up to his peak years. And he has been at this club now less time than bailey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Buendia can and does make big impacts off the bench which is a great trait to have. Hopefully like many other players his performance levels increase under Emery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unrealistic to expect our record signing to be half decent. To be honest I think it’s more comical the way some of our fans rave about him. He’s been bang average since joining, yes he tries hard and has had the odd good game but for the most part he’s been mediocre. I hope you’re right and Emery can find a position to get the best out of him, time will tell I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 It's true that he has underperformed vs expectations. It's also true that his influence has been hampered by lack of game time and a dreadful tactical set-up under the old manager. He's both a wonderful and frustrating player to watch, but I am looking forward to seeing how he delivers for a top class manager in a better system. Hopefully he rises to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Digne does a very basic job, no frills, but for the amount we pay in wages.... Cash also 'does a job' but is incredibly overrated - as much as I love the guy. by Coutinho do you mean (the Xmas spin) of the Ghost of Coutinho past, or are you metrics for success just 'ability' regardless if applied in any way shape or form? I want Phil to succeed as much as the next person and hope he will show his undoubted ability under Unai, but not going to try and pretend he isn't the very definition of 'biggest high profile disappointment' in a Villa shirt since Stan Collymore.

DJBOB Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Want him to work out here. Don’t think he will - hasn’t got the athleticism and pace but if he can work himself into a Bernardo Silva mode, he could do it. Will be rooting for him all the way.

Starscrem_Prime Posted December 25, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 25, 2022 Unlike the former manager I fully expect and I am confident that Emery can get the best out of him. I think the second half of this season he is going to be absolutely key for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
