He pulled up straight after sprinting back to cover Lenglet. Hopefully it’s not a bad one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted November 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 10, 2023 Very happy for Diego, and didn't he enjoy the goal! He's had a tough start to his Villa career and now he is not first choice, but he seems to be of good spirit and giving his all when gets the chance. Strong character!

UpTheVilla26 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 His positioning today was superb. I lost count of the amount of times he blocked a cut back or cleared one. Love him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoMkali Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 He is clearly a brilliant CB. If he can consistently stay fit we will have a real problem on our hands in who to start with konsa, him and Torres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastmix Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 I love the way he sprints. What a UNIT. He was excellent today. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Yeah, I thought he was excellent today. Couple of crucial challenges and great awareness of the play around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Dude man excellent last ditch block to deny Son a tap in first half. Just excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 I thought he struggled a bit with the pace in the beginning. Someone who hasn’t played against a team with real pace as he’s mostly played against the relegation fodder and Europe. But he’s an experienced head and stuck with it and made some great last ditch tackles against Son. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect him to play on Thursday again and i wouldn't be surprised if we play the 3 CB's against Arsenal and City even if they are both at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May-Z Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Carlos' quads of granite probably doubled the speed of Lo Celso's shot...any other player and wouldn't be a problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 The bit at the end when they had a chance Carlos sprinted in a straight line got himself 5/10 yards then snaffled out the chance. I can’t remember who the spuds player was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I was thinking the same, there was one moment in the second half when Son was on a free run on our right hand side and he ran like a maniac with his arms like a skier, I didn't know he was that fast! He is certainly over his injury now which is really positive. A real unit and such a good defender. I'm a bit surprised that the build up often goes through Torres instead of him, Carlos has very good passing, not at least the long range passing. Want to see him ping those cross field passes from standing still more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 He worries me slightly when in possession, as if he's about to make a wayward pass to put the opposition in on goal, but, hopefully that's just me getting stressed because individual mistakes are becoming less and less a detriment to this team's progress. It was nice to see the big man playing, he sure does add a presence to that defence, who, by the way, were magnificent in that second half. A lovely striker's goal from Ollie from a delicious cute assist from Tielemans. We all know it's not easy to get a victory in this league after going behind, it certainly used tone for us. Another sign of what kind of side we're aiming to be. Great vocal support from the fans today, the team must have really used that to stay focused until that final minute. Happy days indeed!
