bose Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Who would have expected this when he joined? Just a matter of time before he lifts a trophy for us. Can we start calling him a Villa legend? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieVillan Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 He’s done very well in the last 2 games, other than the very early stages at Fulham where he got caught a couple of times. Have to remember he’s covering for Kamara and hasn’t played the position in a couple of years. Interesting that Luiz still got forward and scored a couple of goals today, is McGinn playing the Kamara role and playing deeper? I had assumed Luis would play the Kamara role and McGinn would play the Luiz role. Either way, let’s hope they keep it up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponky Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 He's absolutely the man the team looks to when we're under the pump. He's the guy you need to hold on to the ball and work it forward. If he's doing that I'm always confident we're going to be okay. I have to admit I'm not really a fan of him taking corners though. None of the balls he puts in ever look particularly threatening.

MrBlack Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 He just keeps rising to the challenge. Whatever it is, he'll face it. He's matured so much as a player and a person during his time with us. Every time the club has transitioned, from Championship to bottom of PL. From there to mid table in the PL, and now to the top 4 of the PL. Surely there isn't a better value signing than this man in our history (factoring in inflation). 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Crazy to me how some people would be so willing to let him go for " FFP ". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest shame is that FFP is dictating these things rather than football. I understand they don't want clubs to go out of business but its ruining the sporting competition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Small detail but I notice that John usually walks out with the coaches from the Villa videos of them going into training. Hoping he's becoming our coach on the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was as true 100 years ago in football as it is today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Posted in Emery thread but also here, very insightful especially how he mentioned Emery has made him study Manu Trigueros of Villarreal inside out, in particular how he attempts through balls. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
