O’Reilly looks better and more confident on the ball than him, and much more mobile and aggressive, and he’s only played a handful of games at senior level.Got a lot of improving to do. He's currently very slow in everything he does. Not just his pace or lack of, but his passing is too slow, takes too many touches, decision making isn't sharp enough, he opens himself up to being robbed too often. for somebody as big as him, he seems really lightweight too and struggles to withstand contact.
I'm fully aware that Rodri took 18 months to get it, he will get the time he needs to adjust, i dont have any reason to doibt he will get it but i'm not seeing why people are suggesting he was excellent today. We were much better both with and without the ball when kovacic replaced him imo.
Yeah but that's because Kova only played the last 15 minutes against a tiring Everton, if Kova started as a 6 I doubt he would've been better.I thought he was average. Too slow in the pass and slows us down. We looked better when he went off.
I think we look much more solid with Gonzalez there. He’s not Rodri but we concede less breakaways. He is still young and will improve.He was just, okay. Didn’t do much wrong but didn’t do anything particularly great either.
He's being eased in, as new signings tend to be.What's the point in signing him if he can't get into the team ahead of Gundo.
Then there was no point of signing 30 million above his market value ,we should have waited till summer for more optionsHe's being eased in, as new signings tend to be.
If we would have waited , we would have to give him 6 months to get in sync with team. Now that he’s training , he should be ready to be productive next season.Then there was no point of signing 30 million above his market value ,we should have waited till summer for more options
We were never getting a player of his quality for £20m.Then there was no point of signing 30 million above his market value ,we should have waited till summer for more options
Villa have a much better midfield on paper than Forest. Forests strength is in their defensive solidity and countering ability not their midfield dominance.Hope he plays on Sunday. As good as Bernardo was last night, the thought of him, Kovacic and Gundogan against MGW, Anderson and the rest isn't too encouraging
His market value was 18-25 million; Porto could get 50 million for him because we were desperate for a CDM in the winter transfer window.We were never getting a player of his quality for £20m.
That desperate we don't play him much, odd one.His market value was 18-25 million; Porto could get 50 million for him because we were desperate for a CDM in the winter transfer window.
His market value is whatever the market is willing to pay for him, which is what we paid for himHis market value was 18-25 million; Porto could get 50 million for him because we were desperate for a CDM in the winter transfer window.
Eh?That desperate we don't play him much, odd one.
