Steero113 Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago I cannot wait for Boubacar to return to the first team. Walks into our side and is still our best outfield player. If he's still at the same level he was, it's the equivalent of making a £75m signing mid-autumn. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6065_Villa Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Think it will take him a good run of games to get back to the level he was playing at before his injury. Be great to have him back though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need him on the ball in the deeper position as he shrugs off the press with ease and plays through the lines so well. .......but the other players need to learn to shrug off the press. That's what WIP is. Those guys need to be practising winning duels and turnovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure at all. He's often the first one substituted in recent months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterw Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago substituted and starting are different monsters though. I could see Villa with a starting midfield of Kamara - Onana - Tielemans - McGinn with Ramsey/Barkley coming on to replace them. In different games different players start but its very unlikely the captain doesn't start. Unless you're Stuart Gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like practicing a penalty shoot - out, there's just not the same tension. Edited 9 hours ago by sheepyvillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was so good in this match I absolutely love this- he’s the only player we have with true la pausa qualities. If you watch from about a minute in, there’s about 4-5 separate clips of him waiting with the ball just long enough to engage a player in the press before turning away and releasing a villa player in more space. I think that’s the difference between him and any of our other midfielders, even tielemans. Others are good at evading the press, but Kamara actively invites it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
