villalad21 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Looked like a retired player under Smith. Looked like a premier league player today. Long may it continue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 One of my favourite things about today was Ashley Young time travelling from 2009 to play for us today. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 He’s an impact player now and was used brilliantly today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 On watching that goal back, it's ALL Ashley Young ain't it? The skill to evade the challenges, the run forward, and the perfectly threaded pass! Gerrard knowing him and his qualities might reignite some of his old spark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 He was pure filth today. Love it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May-Z Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Wasn't in the game in his first position of LWF. When he switched to CM he was outstanding. Really appreciated the time in the corner when younger players would try and whip crosses in. He just checked out, and played some more triangles before repeating. Did a really good job of seeing out the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I can’t have been the only person in the stadium that was disappointed to see him come on. I guess it’s a little reminder why I’m not a professional football manager. Absolutely changed the game today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat a man and releases it at the perfect time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Such a good mature head to have around the place as well, he was marshalling them all, slowing it down and seeing out the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Simon Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I mean, it's obvious. It's blatant and it's clear. But just incase, when I said "I don't want to ever see Ashley Young in centre midfield ever again" I meant for England. For Villa? Every week? Obvs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 21, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 21, 2021 He was excellent yesterday. I was worried when he moved into midfield and we were playing a midfield 2 of Young and Nakamba, but he bossed it. This is exactly why we bought him. Good, experienced, utility cover. If he'd been on the pitch for longer I"d have given him MOTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MellbergsBeard Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Crazy how football changes so quick 2 weeks ago he shouldn’t be getting on the pitch in front of one of our 18 year olds, now he is back to his best. it was a great run by him and a great finish by Ollie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Don't think we win without Ashley Young receiving that ball from Marv. Two positions in 20 mins. Encouraging good ball management / running clock down. Superb cameo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
