I'd like to see how many goals we conceded from set piece and crosses into the box. That was our big issue last season I think set pieces v crosses, poses a slightly different question. Crosses can be stopped at source, set pieces cannot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped watching there, he clearly doesnt actually know much about our players and is just making content for clicks.

CarryOnVilla Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Good to see players like Bogerde and Swinkles being part of the first team training. Development of youth players should always be fundamental to our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Loving the team sprit, togetherness…. Smiles on faces. Celebrations with Duran after his goal were ace too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 who of our team, do you think is genuine, nailed on top 4 quality right now? for me, Martinez, Maatsen, Pau, Konsa, Onana, Kamara, Tielemans and Rogers currently, so 7 or 8 of our first 11 in my opinion. I think we are 3-4 players from being an actual, genuine top 4 team. Some others may be, but fall just short i think, such as being a top 6 or top 8 player imo, or might be a top 4 player with development, or if they are younger and have time to develop, etc. (note: just because we finished top 4 last season, doesnt mean all our players are top 4 quality, Emery worked miracles with the squad last season to get us top 4).

I think it’s quite amazing that after two poor games you’ve written Ollie off as not top 4 quality. The guy was our player of the season and absolutely instrumental in us getting UCL. Let’s stick with him 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get me wrong, he is a very good striker, i still think he is a very good striker, but i dont think he is top 4 quality. edit, then again, he might be, based on the fact that there arent actually that many good strikers around currently, so im open to it on that basis.

The strikers for the top 4 from last season are: Haaland, Jesus/Havertz and Nunez…I think Watkins holds his own tbh Which strikers in world football would you suggest are top 4 quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
