Best ive seen him play in a Villa shirt .
He was excellent against West Ham too
It looks like he's really starting to settle into the side - which a lot of the non-mongs said that he would following a full pre-season.
If he keeps this up, we'll be sitting pretty.
Exactly, look how Milner did in his second season. 12mil wouldn't have been spent on Downing while injured if he didn't have talent. He clearly does. 2 of 4 Prem games he's played very well now and we can all forgive the Newcastle one where all the team were shocking.
