We're very slowly starting to see a useful player emerge. 3 Goals in 3 Games. Confidence will hopefully bring out the best of him and show why we spent £33m on him. I think it was meant to be funny. I thought it was a well executed goal, a quick fire finish. Otherwise a bit anonymous so far, but we usually build up more on the left hand side so the RW don't need to be as involved as long as he contributes with goals! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah that's well hard to get down at such close range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I judge him in the Prem. No pressure against a shit Hibs don't mean he has altogether become quality. Under pressure he's generally pants, but I hope to be proved wrong, especially if he puts it on Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 He's started the season well. Hope he can continue to play his part in all competitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was anonymous until the goal - gave the impression of being the footballing equivalent of a quality bookmark. But in fairness, all he needed to do is help us hold our shape, give us width on the right, and spring into action when needed, which he did. Disciplined and professional without setting the world alight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other players who did well and are getting praise, were playing against different opposition though... lol 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disciplined and professional without setting the world alight In fairness, in the earliest stages i forgot he was playing, however, i soon realised this had alot to do with the fact that the majority of our passes and attacks were going down the left side or centre left etc. I think he did well when called upon.

useless Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Good play from Kellyman for the assist and then extremely beautiful play and finish from Bailey, DIaby already worth more than we paid for him but has probably made Bailey a better player and increased his value too.

lexicon Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 3 goals and 2 assists in 4 games thus far. He got 9 contributions in all comps last season. Barring injury, he'll smash that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Playing with a much more measured approach i think. Seems to be biding his time recently and happy to pass back instead of running like a headless chicken into a dead end. Work rate is decent. Slowly but surely working out what Unai wants him to do! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s have it right Lexicon - even yourself as one of his staunchest supporters on VT - would have to agree, that his overall time in a Villa shirt has been pretty poor. The criticism has not been disproportionate to his performances, would you not agree this much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
