Going to be a fun player to watch this season regardless He looked rusty, can tell he hasnt played in a few weeks He had moments but was more could have done better than good moments. Give him a few weeks of match fitness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t mind the decision not to pass. Problem was he waited too long to make a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Wow what an impact he had on those minutes he was on, he really found a lot of space and saw much of the ball. He didn't seem to need any time at all to adapt, very promising! He somewhat remides me of Savo in the way he runs and plays. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he’s communicating with his teammates is something Savo could have only dreamed of! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Haha yes indeed, and hopefully he wont spit towards the fans either! Yes slightly ungainly was a perfect description, I couldn't really find the word in English to describe it, his movement looked a bit slow (but probably isn't, just that he is tall so it gives that impression) and he kind of swayed and mostly used his left foot a bit like Savo did, also that he went past players in a way you don't really understand how he did it as it looked like going in slow motion. Very very promising debut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I like the look of him. He looks like a explosive player. I have a feeling he is going to do a lot here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 First ten minutes of Zaniolo's debut was great and he could have scored two goals. Looks a quality player and as was mentioned prior to his first appearance, he makes things happen. As Emery noted Zaniolo can also play anywhere across the front three, gives Villa options.

Wezbid Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Of course he should have squared it for an Ollie tap-in but a few minutes into your debut, absolutely get it and so did Ollie with his reaction when he would normally be raging. He megged someone whilst creating a chance, carved out another chance himself through hard work closing down and has a hammer strength shot. You can tell this guy is different gravy, like Diaby who has started off good stats wise but you can tell there's another gear in him and with time we're going to be absolutely wild going forward. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Scary prospect . In a months time with fitness and understanding of the tactics and teammates he will be a huge asset and a nightmare for opponents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejs1111 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Zaniolo looked quite impressive to me in his 20min. Extremely comfortable on the ball. You can just tell he's calm, very technical, and smooth in possession. Within minutes he was moving into space demanding the ball just like what Buendia does- trying to dictate play- have everything run through him. Difference is... he's a unit. Opponents won't knock him off the ball like Buendia. Once he shakes the rust off and gets used to his teammates- Zani will be a terror for Villa opponents.

adam67 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Still finding his feet in the system, noticed when there was a corner to us a, few of the players giving him instruction as he looked at bit unsure where to be/running to. He did plenty enough in the time he was on the pitch to show he's going to be cracking player for us. bit more time on the training pitch and he will be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I like the confidence he has. He wants the ball and wants to make things happen. Thats the type of player i want at villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted August 28, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) We were also 1-3 up when he decided to go for goal, I’d like to think that if it was 0-0 and that late in the game he’d take the more sensible option!
