villan95 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Couple of underhit passes in the 1st half but really solid otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 We haven't really looked that troubled defensively since Mings' injury and the Newcastle game and I think he's a big part why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Thought he was very good today. He just needs regular game time and I think he will be a class act for us. Helps having a Luiz and Kamara in front who are absolutely class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 In a sick way im sort of glad he was out for last season. We probably would still be stuck with Gerard. Now we have a world class player back along with a world class manager and other top players gerrard wouldn’t have been able to convince to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted August 27, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2023 Imperious. Really, really like him! Looked great today alongside Konsa and Pau Torres. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightdm00 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Add Sander Berge to the players that Diego has bodied to the ground. He is a freaking unit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinebro Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Strong and solid. Doesn't seem very confident on the ball though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdabush Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 With Mings out he adds some heading ability and strength to the defence. Must be such a relief for him to be getting regular minutes now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 He's totally mental. I'm scared of him. Slightly too ambitious with some passes, but fantastic execution a lot of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 He's come in and done a great job. It seems a back three is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos is good but him being in the team would've just shown up Gerrard even more - more quality that would've evidently been going to waste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 There's a couple of times where he turns incredibly slowly and I get worried that he's not the same post-injury, but I think that's just my own worst fears about it playing tricks on me because he's otherwise looked great as I always expected him to back when he signed. In a weird way missing last season has meant he's been able to go about his work quietly now as there's no real expectation on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Carlos is literally a beast. I am so bloody chuffed to see him back in the side. Mixed feelings as it is kind of down to Mings' injury but Diego went through a bad one and it is great to have him involved now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
