MrBlack Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 This lad is going to be a lot of fun to watch over the next few years. What a goal that was. The confidence (and ability) to hit a rising ball so sweetly is a very rare trait indeed. Very few strikers have produced finishes like that, Drogba, Benteke, even Haaland esque. But, unlike those, he is 19 and is far from the complete forward at the moment. Comparisons to them aren't helpful, and although I'm doing it, it's the media starting to do the same that causes the pressure to build. Cant help but hype him up after that, and can't wait to see how he develops. Had doubts about relying on him as backup striker (but more so if Ollie got injured rather than how he's currently being used) , but those are largely beginning to fade. Trust Emery, he knows what he's doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Ollie, and he hasn't. He's been very poor. Agree he isn't close to being dropped, that's what I said. He'll be starting at Chelsea even if Duran gets a hat-trick in Poland.

Mic09 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Atmosphere is Warsaw will be very hostile. Anyone that watched any Legia games will see the sort of support the fans give. Personally, I think Duran will want to make a point of it. Watkins hitting a bit of a wall with scoring might be lower on confidence. I'd play Duran, especially considering Legia like to leak goals.

As a matter of fact... he may like it a bit too much 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can spend as much as we want, we can beat the likes of Spurs or Chelsea or United, but let's be honest that's all a bit meaningless. Do Unai and the team deserve credit for the improvements over the last year, yes of course, but why should anyone care outside of Villa unless that translates into silverware or top 4/6? I wouldn't give a **** if Brentford finished 7th this season and qualified for Conference League (for example), so why should the opposite be true? We've done nothing yet.

He knew the technique needed to score that goal was ridiculous as he would have tried it 100 times and 99 would have gone into the stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust Emery, he knows what he's doing. I make you absolutely right - that was a really difficult skill to execute and given how we were frantically trying to get back in the game, he could have been forgiven if he had rushed the strike and sent it high into the holte - type of goal that Stanley Victor would have scored imo. Hopefully a lot more to follow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He means two assists, two pens - which I also think should be recognised as assists if scoring a pen is recognised towards the top scorer charts. Totally illogical otherwise.
