Delphinho123 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 TBH, if it saved us 20m, I'd be happy with Nyland playing one or two games at the start of the season. We could really do without spending anything on a new keeper when we have such pressing needs in other areas of the pitch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) Great news. Now stop forcing him playing out from the back, that's not his game. That was one of our biggest downfall last season. A big part to why things got a lot better post lockdown is we played more direct and stopped playing risky football.

Farlz Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Fantastic to have him back. His injury was a huge blow last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. Seems that their so called journalism consists of monitoring twitter. I remember the good old days when The Mail had seasoned journalists that had inside contacts, trust and info from the club. Could you imagine anyone at Villa confiding in these clowns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't disagree more with the last line. Reina's skill with the ball took loads of pressure of the back rather than it going long and coming straight back each time. Just a shame his shot stopping skills are below par. It was very obvious that Luiz coming deep and being able to get the ball forwards instead of relying on Mings/Hause/Konsa to do it made a huge difference. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works better with Reina as he is a sweeper keeper and very good on the ball with his feet. Heaton is the opposite. That is not his game. Heaton is more old fashioned.

No point hoping for Heaton to do the balls over the top to our fullbacks mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We looked defensively solid against Sheffield United after the restart and had Nyland in goal, who's not good at anything . It's more to do with Douglas Luiz and the back 4 pushing up than Reina's distribution. Heaton will be a huge asset next year if he isn't too affected by the injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I can see why we are after another experienced keeper. Glad to have him back but huge worries and question Mark's over his fitness now at his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
