mjmooney Posted July 22, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 22, 2019 It's a good point, especially given that Wesley, for all his height, is no great shakes in the air, he's better with the ball at his feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 He's a discount Mata. Mata may be more technically gifted but Jota is for sure faster and not bad technically either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry'sboots Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Just re-watched the highlights of when they beat us 3-0 at their place. If memory serves, we had just signed Hogan and I remember thinking we had defo got the wrong player as Jota tore us apart (along with Woods in CM).

Thor Lansbury Hourihane in the middle of a 433 We were trying to shoehorn all the new signings into the team too fast and we got ripped apart. Can't remember if it was that one specifically but one of the Brentford games (the 1-1 the following season maybe) was up there with the FA Cup final as the worst game I've seen from Villa.

Not really. He wasn't on our radar then and look how much money it's saved us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just imagine those two knuckleheads sitting in the back of the class trying to debate "tactics" with the FA course instructor over the finer points of 4-4-2 hoofball.

We've got beaten by them 3-0 (after getting Hogan) then 2-1, then 1-0. All at their place. Drew 3 times 1-1 then 0-0 finally 2-2 at our place. (although not sure about the 1-1). I would like to know how many times Brentford was mentioned this summer? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Willard Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 All the members that don't think he'll be the starter in the prem. I think he is a cracking player. Him, Lansbury, Grealish and Weasley really combine together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrific purchase. Think the problem we have is simply where do we play him? I don't think he is a winger, as others have said he's like a poor mans Mata, probably will flourish best playing centrally however maybe Jack would be better off out wide as he looks faster and stronger than ever.
