He was hyped up beyond belief on here, which I found surprising given how little he did last time he was in the Premier League. He cost big money and so far has shown very little to warrant such a price tag. IMO. Don't think he's fully recovered from injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 His passing is top notch. He has something in his locker that seems to be going extinct; through balls. He can just see the gap between defenders and exploit it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect a bit more than hope he come good. Especially given the jiz fest for him on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throughout the season was right beside grealish and de bruyne for chances created. Last season 15 goals and 16 assists and championship player of the year. There was plenty of reasons to hype up the transfer. Had a great game against Walsall in preseason assisting Ollie twice. Then had an injury and looked well off the pace against Watford understandably. Today I thought he was a lot better on the ball and made a few good tackles tracking back. Some nice passing too and I think he’s only going to improve. Give it time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little patience wouldn't hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at some highlights that season you can see how his teammates butchered some great chances 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejvilla Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Looked a lot better today. Faded around 65 minute mark. Perhaps not at peak fitness. Always looked dangerous. Seemed like we were a lot better organised from set pieces. He seemed to be positioned in the best possible places for breaking balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still bloody impressive. Also second behind De Bruyne for through balls that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I haven't seen much of the two games apart from highlights. However Buendia is a consistent performer and hopefully that continues at Villa. All players deserve a little time. Our pre-season was a problem, he's still adjusting to Villa, tactics and his teammates. Thing is the PL is unforgiving and difficult for players who aren't fit, we've seen this before with players trying to find fitness through a season.

jayEm Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Even if he'd had another Watford performance today it'd be crazy to be writing any players off this early. As it happens I thought he looked pretty good today. His passing and vision seems great, when he's a bit more up to speed and in fitness he'll start to shine.

You are an amazing can't miss Footballer if you are in a foreign league and all we have are FBref stats and YouTube videos. Then when you sign for the Villa you are immediately shit, unless Man City has inserted a buy back clause, then you amazing, until the buy back clause expires and then you are immediately shit again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 It takes time to fall in love....but its inevitable He might take a little time to properly gel with the rest of the team but when everyone is on the same wavelength he will be scary. We have no pace in behind at the moment but when ollie and bailey are back in we will see some real eye of the needle balls . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 When he got the ball under control and he was in position he was good. Cash was stranded on the right at times though, when Emi tracked back he did really well in the second half, but **** me he was nowhere to be seen a lot. McGinn was having to go to RW to cover the gaping hole. He got better though and much better than last week. Hopefully he reaches his lofty heights soon. He's also very hot headed, he's going to get sent off twice a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Strongly assuming we haven’t seen anything like his best so far. But if we have, we’ve been mugged off big time on the fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
