Anything11 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Played exactly how I suspected he would and why I think we bought him in. He is very clever/disciplined with his positioning which leads to good link up play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MapleVilla Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 On 03/02/2024 at 18:13, AV82 said: Ollie *is* a perfect example in that he now conserves his energy and is learning all the time. He's always been able to finish but it's harder when you've been chasing shadows across the pitch for 90 minutes with your manager (Gerrard) egging you on to 'put yourself about'. Personally I think the biggest impact on his finishing has been his fatigue management. That's not to say you can't practice and improve your finishing but there's other factors at play that can be coached. He is. It's one thing to run like a man possessed but to then have the composure to beat the goalkeeper or make the important shot accurately is another thing. My legs are usually like jelly if I've run and found myself in the box with a chance to score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Would have been a dream debut and capped off an excellent days work all round if he’d buried that chance on Saturday. Looked okay when he came on, has to be said it was against a dispirited and poor team but still, some good early indications that he might go on to become an asset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 On 02/02/2024 at 18:54, useless said: He hasn't been signed as a centre-forward, Emery isn't Steve Bruce and going to play him upfront just because he's tall. It's not a mystery he's played most of his career on the left hand side, and has played as a No.10 this season and done well, those are the two positions he's been brought in to play Christopher Samba, striker extraordinaire.

Tomaszk Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 We need a goal and left on the bench behind Zaniolo and a left back. Shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect we'll see much of him this season. He's a project player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 A guy with 10 PL mins to his name and 2 weeks training with the team stayed on the bench while our Italian international came on... Might be a different story over the next couple of games and as the season progresses but I doubt Rogers is there yet 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to him then, if he can capitalise and stake a claim for a place there's nothing standing in his way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke313 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Can see him getting a few starts and a lot of mins from the bench, especially if McGinn is moved back to partner Luiz. He has a chance to break into the first team with Kamara injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 That counter late on - Did well to accelerate and win that header, played the pass quickly and into loads of space, then went for the classy side foot finish. It's the small things but I can just tell this guy is a really classy player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
