Villaphan04 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Went to see DC United last night. He has definitely lost the finishing ability & touch. But still won almost every header and passing was sharp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was always a pretty good passer and i remember when i first saw him in the team that his ability to drop deep and start moves was quite impressive for such a big bloke. However there were times when he really needed to make the pass and then sprint to get in the box and often he would casually jog, drifting out to the left. He could have got a lot more goals for us in his time here if he had busted a gut abit more, particualrly in the second and third seasons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 He really had some swagger for us at his peak. That goal against qpr when he played it around the defender so the keeper couldnt see. The left footer curler at old shatford. The dummy one way and then turning the opponent and smashed it againt the baggies. The backheel to andi weimann against manure. Was so so good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted May 2, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) I see some posts mentioning his finishing and that he could have got more goals for us. Worth pointing out that he has the 9th best goals to games ratio of all time for Villa, behind; Pongo Waring, Dai Astley (?), Len Capewell (?), George Brown, Tony Hateley, Trevor Ford, Gerry Hitchens, and Frank Broome. Obviously none of those were recent. Edited May 2, 2023 by HKP90 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he extended his contract with us and we got 30 mil for him. Not his fault we bought players for a manager who didn't know who to use them.

He gave us as much as we could possibly have expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommo_b Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 If he had signed for Arsenal instead of Liverpool I think he would’ve gone on to have achieved more with his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. In terms of pure ability he's comfortably the best striker I've seen at Villa in my lifetime. When he was on it, and he was more often than not, he was unplayable. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
