What makes it so bad was that he practically pushed Ollie out of the way to claim the goal. Fine, if you're going to do that, you need to at least know which foot you're going to score with. Which was pretty much what Ollie yelled at him straight after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa87 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Unai’s mantra is consistency. Carlos just isn’t consistent at all. Credit to him for the Arsenal game in particular, but he is so erratic. Lots of his passes forward are over hit, he either gets too close and fouls an opponent or is 1 second too slow to follow an attacker’s movement. He gets turned very easily and for a big guy doesn’t always use his strength as well as he could do. I really hope we upgrade him for a younger and cheaper alternative.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I must admit I actually LOVE Diego Carlos Santos Silva. Yes he has some dodgy moments but don't all defenders at times? More often than not he's immense, quick decisive, strong on the ball and his passing is excellent; third highest of any Villa player. I hope he stays next season, we will need him.

rubberman Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 If Ollie doesn't get to 20 this season Diego won't be on his Christmas card list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Flying into the 6 yard box, shoving Watkins out the way. I'm not sure what he was thinking doing that, but it definitely wasn't thinking like a striker. Ollie knew where he needed to be to be able to get a shot off if its pulled back or slide it in if it was drilled across. Carlos not being a striker let the blood rush to his head and ran forward with no thought as to how he'd handle the ball if it was fizzed in. I'm sure he'll feel pretty bad about preventing Watkins' 20th goal, but hopefully he can make up for it against Palace. On the list of players to sell, I'd have him towards the bottom, but definitely on it. I think we should cash in as he seems injury prone and won't be getting any better between now and retirement.

The_Steve Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 7 hours ago, useless said: The miss was bad but nowhere near as bad as some are making out, it wasn't anywhere near as bad as the Ronny Rosenthal miss for example as was suggested, ball came across him at speed and he missed open goal, that kind of miss is actually quite common which is why it will be forgotten about unlike Rosenthal miss which had the ball under his control, all the time, and an open net to shoot into but still missed. Also Watkins probably should have scored it after Carlos missed it You can’t blame Ollie, Diego pushed him out of position and his failed touch took the ball away from him. It’s all on Diego.

useless Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I didn't blame anyone, I just said Watkins should have scored, also the idea that Carlos pushed him out of the way is an exaggeration, makes it sound a lot worse than it actually was, I don't think Carlos even realized it was Watkins or even a Villa player, he didn't actually look, I think he was just trying to get to the ball ahead of what he presumed was a Liverpool defender 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He **** up, sure, but so did Salah with an easy chance - it can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I haven’t seen the first half nor his chance, but he’s a defender after all and can’t be judged at goal scored. I think if he had started in home leg semi final we wouldn’t have lost. He’s the only player that have the strength of Mings, so he have an attribute which we need at certain games. He isn’t bad at building play, but he’s prone to some silly mistakes which he can stop to make by a bit of more focus. I’d be happy to have him here next season, as Konsa is our only right footed CB, but if he’s going for good money then I’m ok with it as he’s old and on big wages. But we’d have to get someone in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 In terms of transfer fee plus wages (30m plus 100k+) he must be up there for one of our worst value signing in recent times? at least Crespo was shite and cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 (edited) West Ham might be interested to replace Zouma. Lopetegui wanted him at Wolves. Get it done Monchi. Edited May 19 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East London Villa Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Some fantastic performances, but more bad than good over the course of the season. Has really struggled lately. There were rumours we would try to shift him and I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 How we ever spent £30m on this guy I have no idea, thanks Gerrard. He seemed to do well at Sevilla, but whenever he has played for us we have shipped goal after goal after goal. We need to move him on this summer, he's 31 so isn't going to suddenly come good for us. Emery bought Saliba in 2019 for a similar price to what we paid for Carlos, he needs to find someone similar for us because we literally have no one who can defend other than a player coming back from long term injury.

If we somehow could get a fee for him I'd be happy enough to see him go but if not then he should only be a bench/ league cup player next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 He's OK for backup if he's got Emi in goal or is alongside Pau but with Olsen and Lenglet, there's nobody to marshall the defence. Was always going to be a shitshow today. If we can get a decent price for him, I'd sell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
