Indigo Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Could always see the quality was there but it really feels like things are starting to come together for him now. Delighted for him and excited for what's to come for the remainder of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delighted for him and excited for what's to come for the remainder of the season. Yeah, I can't wait for a run of league games to see what this squad can do. Seems to have been so disjointed recently with Covid break, FA Cup, International break, a run of games before that we were always unlikely to get much from. Feels like it will be a new season when we get going again. We've just seen glimpses so far, I reckon him and Coutinho are about to set the league alight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather root for a Villa related cause. Sorry Tyrone but he'll pick his favourites so you'll hardly get a sniff. Boooo England out!

Popular Post MaVilla Posted February 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2022 Amazing to think, that our 2 x no.10 positions are now filled by Argentina & Brazil internationals. What a time to be a Villa fan! Congrats on your first cap Emi, fingers crossed for many more! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southgate is killing international football for England imo. Some great players but God awful football and zero charisma. Gerrard would be much more fun as an England manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Congrats to him and well deserved. The only thing that really irks me is how Lo Celso gets picked over him despite barely playing in 18 months (even if has done well for the national team). Be nice to see what Buendia can do in an Argentina shirt for the whole match rather than just 10 mins at the end of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I swear before about 5 years ago we'd never had a Brazilian or Argentinian, now we have important players of each team in our 11. Incredible really Exciting times to be a Villan. Let's hope we can continue this upwards trajectory, and stop losing against shit like bastard Brentford 47 times a season (seemingly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIVillan Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I didnt know that much about him before he signed for us, watched Football with a very Villa focus glasses past few years. My boys raved about him but I wasnt that impressed at first and enjoyed winding them up by saying they knew nothing. But I have had to admit to them recently that he isnt too bad The other thing is that he is starting to look really happy which is a good sign for Villa.

NIVillan Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 The other good thing about this is Aston Villa being exposed more to Brazillian and Argentina fans. During the 94 World Cup I happened to be in the middle of Brazillians celebrating beating the USA in the quarter finals. I was about to swap my Villa Baseball Cap for a Brazil one, and I had to explain who Villa were etc. I doubt I would have to do that now. Unfortunately his wife/girlfriend came over and told him off for even considering swapping his Brazil Hat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need our best finisher there to put away the chances created and he is a lot better than Watkins at that. Watkins score less goals than his xG. Last season and this. Ings has out performed his xG in last two seasons and in this season so far too. Disagree with this. Finishing in terms of performance above xg is about all Ings has over Watkins, and Watkins appears to more involved both in creating and having more chances to score. Over the season I think it would make little difference in terms of goal return. Plus we've just brought in Digne to add additional attacking threat I'd assume mostly in the form of crosses and set pieces into the box and looks like Watkins wins more than 3 times as many aerial duels as Ings at 60% better success rate. And Watkins still has room to improve whereas feels like Ings is probably past his peak now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
