Jbvilla909 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Just wanted that overhead to hit top bins. It'll come soon for him I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Proper player imo. Based on what I've seen so far I hope we make him permanent after this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Imagine if that had gone in? It would have been guaranteed to appear on reel after reel of the best villa goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Someday soon, he will score a 25 yard overhead heel goal that will break the net. It's coming. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted October 6, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 6, 2023 You can almost guarantee his first goal is going to some worldie! Becoming one of my favourite players! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to be a big player for us this season, he's growing in confidence and that's showing in his play. The technique he showed for the overhead kick was unbelievable What I also like about him is his attitude, you can see a desire to perform and he shows that in his work rate. Looks frustrated when things dont go his way. That's a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero7 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I actually thought he was pretty poor by his standards yesterday bar that overhead kick, he struggled to control the ball in tight spaces, plays much better when the game open up rather than when 11 plays have parked the bus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Man of the match according to Twitter votes. Good to see we can appreciate his effort, even if the goals aren't quite coming off for him at the moment. They will! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightdm00 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 6 hours ago, Philosopher said: Buendia just isn't that good. Bailey has improved this season, but still not nailing down that right wing position. Zaniolo has more about his game than both. He works hard, closes down like Buendia, but actually has real physical presence, and is a far better dribbler than Buendia. For me Zaniolo has a no ceiling the guy can be anything he wants! No one closes down like Buendia outside of Watkins. Against Zrinjski, The forward press was comical in its lethargy. Duran and Zaniolo jogging about aimlessly. I would describe Zaniolo's work rate as sufficient but in no ways top drawer. He's already technically gifted and a physical specimen. No need to prescribe other attributes that other players in the squad clearly do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting view. He's certainly a better dribbler than Buendia but the better decision maker and knowing when to release a player, it's not a close contest from what Zaniolo's shown so far.

Buendia's decision making is all over the place. Always looks and goes for the throughball even when it's not on. As for Zaniolo's defensive work it isn't as relentless, but he's more effective as he isn't a lightweight powder puff! He's the opposite a huge powerful specimen!

briny_ear Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Can’t wait for him to score his first goal, then the beast will be unleashed. Sorry that some people are pointlessly comparing him with Buendia. It’s not an either/or. The only question is: are his skills useful to the squad, which has to be a resounding “yes”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan95 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 It was a great attempt for the overhead kick but unfortunately it went pretty much down the middle of the goal. I think it would have been poor keeping had it gone in. Slightly surprised he got MoTM as I thought he had a quiet game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 It wasn't a lot of game time, but I thought that was his least effective game for us so far. Yes, he had a game-winning chance but, other than that, he looked a bit off it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Worst game for us, yes. Looked injured when he came on. Hobbled around a bit. Game ended. If he's injured it bodes horribly for his future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
