Vive_La_Villa Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 19 hours ago, VillaChris said: Nathan Ake genuinely seems inspired by his "pep talk." Guy will probably sell a few more tickets for his Edinburgh fringe show from publicity of this so all is good. He's not actually a football fan at all so no idea who fed him the Jan Molby line. I was amazed by how short Ake looked for a centre half! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) Not sure what the context or what show they were on but Souness and Keane have been having a go at him for taking too many touches and that he isnt a quick learner Edited July 20, 2022 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't talk about him playing as a 9 for the first time in his career And you can forget them going in to a tactical analysis of how peps man City play and pinpointing where grealish struggled like how city use full backs differently to villa There's a really big good very critical analysis to be made of grealish at city, with statistics thrown in to support it, you aren't going to get it from sky The piece is soundbite central, waste of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just know though, he will have a poor game and they will still be creaming themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's foreign so the can't adapt to the incredible PL reason is already lined up But Haaland not adapting to pep would be even more criminal than Grealish, if they can't get 20 goals out of him then the system should be looked at Again they won't partly because souness and Keane don't have it in them but mainly because sky have no interest in a full tactical analysis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 From what I saw it looked like that kind of game, both teams kicked the shit out of each other on a rough looking pitch half way around the world But marketing opportunities... And the Mexicans really hyped the game up, 72k in attendance fireworks choir singing the lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s another vid of Grealish being fouled and milking it which clearly winds the opposition up more. Nothing we’ve not seen before, but quite telling how he amps it up at City sometimes.

Obviously as fans we would always defend him. Remember the one against West Ham? Nobody hardly said anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
