CVByrne Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Fair play to Monchi and Emery, we just got home early. Rather than allowed his value increase and attract more interest by summer. He himself must be enjoying this season immensely. Joining another new team in Boro and then getting to join Villa, then getting to play regularly and winning a European penalty shootout.

beasley14 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Had a bit of an off game on Sat but still showed glimpses of his quality. We did need him and Ollie to hold the ball up more on Saturday. Surprised he wasn't subbed tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I have to say I was a bit surprised that we went so hard for him - seemed like at least 3 bids. But boy, was it worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His first is my favourite. The footwork to spin the defender *chef's kiss* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made In Aston Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Last year Moreno and now Rogers. Another product of Monchi's January transfer masterclass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MapleVilla Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 It's definitely a good way to be doing business. Both were good buys financially and have proven to be great players who's fitted in very nicely. Moreno has been unlucky with injuries but I'm sure once he's had a pre season and can stay fit he'll be back to his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Thought he was our best player tonight. Final pass off a couple of times, but drove the team on and always wanted the ball. His movement is very good and pulls defenders out of position 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few moments in the attacking third but think either his fitness or poor defensive capabilities held us back. Id have replaced him a lot sooner.

avfc1982am Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I thought he struggled a bit in patches but I put it down to playing in front of Digne who had a particularly bad game. I thought he was either too deep covering Digne or not compact enough with McGinn or Luiz in the midfield. I like to see him through operating through the middle rather than wide like he did against Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Played well but the balance of the midfield is off. Perhaps more down to Mcgin and Luiz being off form/tired but we seem to look more open with Rogers playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Watkins were the only players I thought were anywhere near good enough. Everyone else was shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
