Targett was our player of the year ahead of Grealish season before last. Was a very promising player. Newcastle fans singing his praises now. I've seen nothing from Digne in 6 months to suggest he's an upgrade This would be the same Newcastle that Targett has bagged a colossal 0 goals and 0 assists in his time there so far - 17 games. In that same number of games for us Digne has gotten 4 assists, Targett managed 5 in his entire Villa career (83 PL games). I'll take the French guy thanks. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digne was caught out today and has been on occasion no doubt, but lets not pretend that Targett (who came back from preseason last year looking like he had spent 6 weeks downing pints and eating kebabs and got skinned repeatedly by Tom Cleverley away at Watford) was prime Maldini when it came to the defensive side of the game. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybloke Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 He has not exactly started the season well for us. Passing has been more miss than hit, and as for his crossing ? Shocking so far, not sure what the issue is but he has been terrible so far. Needs to just be decent regularly rather than amazing 1 in 8 games then poor the rest.

Indigo Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Martinez was POTY the season before last, not Targett. I know he won players player of the year but in the name of semantics it isn't the same thing. For what it's worth though I'd be having Digne over him all day. Targett is a solid player but it became particularly apparent when Grealish was absent how much he aided him, and as much as folk are citing some below-par performances from Digne he's come nowhere close to some of the disasters Targett had in his time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughable Chimp Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) I don't think he's a bad player and he is better than Targett. He's just not this massive improvement that people are claiming he is. Its a combination of people overrating Digne and underrating how good Targett was for us.

cheltenham_villa Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I thought his relationship with Ramsey was really starting to show today, they combined excellently a number of times to get Ramsey in around the back of the Everton defence. Digne was also available wide left many times but the quality of passing not quite where we need it to be. As others have said, he has more to do defensively but isn't helped by a narrow midfield. Digne and Cash often end up very exposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's neat and tidy with good technique I just don't think he's the swashbuckling fullback his stats would suggest or that maybe he was a few years back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Quote LB: Lucas Digne – 6.06Digne’s scruffy own goal late on made for a ridiculously nervy ending for Villa, during which time Everton should have equalised. The ex-Toffee won only 40% of his duels, while going forward – as he must in this Villa side – five of his seven crosses reached Everton players while none of his three dribbles were successful. It doesnt include the penalty he should have conceded, after the Bournemouth fiasco he really should be looking over his shoulder for a starting place https://www.football365.com/news/feature-premier-league-weekend-worst-xi-two-man-utd-players-de-gea-tielemans-coutinho Coutinho also made the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I think Digne has been a good signing. He offers us so much going forward and we haven’t been that much worse defensively since we had Targett in the team. He had a bad game - we move on.
