useless Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 His goal somehow reminded me of Samuel Eto'o, the running style as he latched onto to it and then the ferocious snapshot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's worth at least what we sold him for now. Not gonna happen. But I'd welcome him back if it ever did (so long as he isn't a spent force). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 27, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 27, 2023 Watkins and Diaby up top together could be a nightmare for defenders. Should be fun to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 He is going to be just like Ash Young. As in he will get every villa fan off his seat everytime he gets on the ball. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both in terms of finding space in offensive positions, as well as tucking in and tracking back defensively? In terms of finding space and running from deep he was good as you can see from the goal. Teams that play a high line against us will be punished by his pace and we have the passers in the middle to pick him out. Defensively too hard to tell as it seemed Philogene dropped so Diaby was playing further forward and not having to tuck in so much. By then there had been so many changes the game was a big ragged. He understandably looks a bit raw but once he has found his feet in this league he could be a top player for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey had it for a but but now I don't really get excited to see him on the ball, no more than any other player anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of when Yorke broke through into the first team. He'd come on as a sub, and everytime he got the ball, everyone around me in the Holte simultaneously shouted 'Go on, skin him Yorkie!'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost the opposite with Bailey last season - whenever he got the ball i was dreading how he'd either end up stuck in a blind alleyway or who he would lose the ball to. I think he'll be much better this season though with some Emery coaching behind him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoyman Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 The exact polar opposite of that phenomenon was the brief, unhappy period where MON would play Carlos Cuellar at right back. Loved the guy, but I used to sit down so fast when he got the ball out wide I think I did lasting damage to my tailbone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Fast as advertised. Need to get him on the Watkins regiment so his hamstrings don’t blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
