Ramsey is great running at defences with space. Not so good in a low block..... ... so I agree. Should have started tonight 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably still makes sense to restart as quickly as possible given that referees do not always do what they're supposed to, but in theory, you should be able to celebrate without losing time.

Popular Post Philosopher Posted December 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2023 I've said it before and I'll say it again. There is a top in there. He has bundles of ability, it's a case of adaptation, recovery (from cruciate ligament injuries), and confidence. Two goals in 3 games the confidence is coming up. Still adapting, but this guy is brave, he doesn't hide, and always tries to make things happen. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Happy for him, hopefully he can kick on now for us. We need impact from the bench more and more as season goes on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Really like his attitude too - this is why we brought him here, loan or otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Was a great header and a very strong challenge to go for that ball considering you are more likely than not to be clattered by the goalie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Just saw the clip of his goal. That finish took me back to the days of Andy Gray and Peter Withe. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Like Bailey, McGinn and Diaby they all take time to adapt to both PL football and the tactics of Unai Emery. Hopefully Zaniolo can continue the fine form and bag the winner at Old Trafford. I didn't see the match and again just only highlights of the goal. It was a wonderful header: "leapt like a salmon" but seriously he does possess a strong character, and also aggression on the football pitch. In hindsight maybe should have started the game? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Was actually behind 4 other villa players when Dougie started to deliver that ball. Ran through them and about 10 utd defenders to arrive bang on time. Great instincts. Kinda confirms my suspicion he would make an excellent no. 9 rather than wide forward 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to pick that ball up and run back as fast as possible. 15 more seconds could have been the difference in 3 points or 1 point If we're relying on scoring a goal at 99:45, you don't deserve 3 points. What about the other 99 minutes, rather than 15 seconds? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 It was the most movement in the box I'd seen all game. We play at such a slow and static pace against these types of teams that we need more of these kind of runs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he signed, Emery alluded to the fact that he thought Zaniolo could play anywhere along the front three, presumably that was wide left, wide right and up top. Zaniolo has all the credentials to be an absolute nightmare for defenders as the front man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Pleased for the lad to follow up his goal in Europe with a crucial goal in the PL. I don’t know a lot about Nicolo but I feel like he needs to feel loved to be at his best. Hopefully he will grow from this and start to feel he fits in.

LondonLax Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Two in two for him now? Let’s hope he carries on. I also agree with the comments above that he’s better suited to breaking a low block than our speedy counter attacking forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
