daft Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 21 hours ago, Johnnyp said: Early signs are good but id temper it with realism too and say he needs to be given a good chance to adjust to the PL. I’m around forums and our fan base long enough to know that the people who are raving about him in pre season are the same folk who will hammer him if he doesn’t hit the ground running ( ya know the ones, who thought Jota was the reincarnation of George Best after his performances against Minnesota and Walsall ) I’m not saying it’s not right to get excited about Kamara but don’t go 360 either if he doesn’t get a 9/10 against Bournemouth. I will say, he looks a fine player and look forward to supporting him when the real stuff starts. Yeah, I've been here long enough to be somewhat jaded when it comes to expectations on new players and know how fast they can fall from grace. Same goes for the gaffer IMO. Patience is necessary, but obviously it is time for Villa to deliver and not just talk of ambition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 The conditions were poor for him. But he needed this game, the physicality, the tempo and the quality of opposition. He grew into the game in the second half. But I am very happy he played 60 mins against a Utd side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 ironically he looked super at CB alongside Carlos, the two of them pinging balls around was sublime. I dont remember the last time i saw two Villa CBs pinging the ball around like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Can't we go radical and play a back 3 with a false 9 or some new age schizz. We'll probably ease past 70 points with about three games left.... Can't wait until the next manager, he's going to have some resources to play with....

Khizzy Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Kamara as a sweeper. Imagine that, it'll confuse all the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I think there will be some frustrations with this lad while he finds his feet and settles to the speed of the league. Seemed to struggle against United and early on against Renne. Hope fans are patient with him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper one of the easiest games of the season, why wouldn't you get him playing from the start ? His confidence isn't going to come from 15 minutes here and there and starting against one of the stronger teams. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Without being depressing, I almost get the feeling sometimes that he's more of an upper echelon Luiz, and we still need an upper echelon Nakamba beside him for it to work seamlessly for him Need to see more of him, not on a dodgy stream, roll on the PL!

roonst83 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Excited to see Boo Boo in the Prem. Am confident in what I’ve seen already that he’ll grow and develop as the season progresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anything11 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 The whole team struggled against Rennes including Kamara - I don't think he should be singled out. Sliding him into CB was interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, Luiz is what most defensive midfielders are like these days - it's more about pressure and positioning than physical combativeness and swashbuckling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sliding him into CB was interesting. Not singling him out at all, been pointing out even before that game, that I think he will need help. He's an outstanding Footballer, but he can't do it on his own. As he is not just a brute, if he has to be scrambling for the ball constantly it will affect the rest of his game, the parts he is best at, cleaning up and distribution etc. If the partners beside him are sloppy, he'll be getting dragged in all sorts of directions. We know how that works out against a relentless Premier League level press as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
