He's been a warrior for us and has exceeded expectations. But tonight he was exposed and every team we play now will target him. He's going to have to really dig in now until Cash is back.
Even if we don't, this turnaround has been a tonic. A shot of penicillin to kill the Gerrard infection. This is fun. We can hope and dream and that's what it's all about!
Makes me wonder if Watkins, Duran, and Archer would be good enough for next season. I'm guessing Emery might loan out Duran or Archer and sign a bigger name striker.
I do want to see Archer get a legitimate chance.
I don't think I've seen a more dramatic turn in form from a Villa player than Ollie this season. Most of us were completely writing him off, including myself.
If we sign a fancy new striker, we need to keep Ollie too, IMO.
I respect Martin Tyler and learned a lot about English football from him back in the 90s. But sadly he's slipped these days and can be kind of corny. I still like him though, he's a gentleman.
