Good player to have around imo. 5th choice CB, 4th Choice DM, 3rd/4th Choice Rb. Perfectly serviceable at all of them, and importantly his ball playing and progression mean if we need to rotate him in vs a weaker team we lose nothing in attack. Vs the best teams I'd be a bit concerned about his pace and defence. But he's got a clear role as a guy who can come in vs weaker teams and contribute 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa Gaffa Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Lucky we had him on the bench. He did well when he came on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Such a useful member of the squad… covers a few positions. See no need or urgency to sell really… it’s just whether he’ll accept a bit part role or not… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 interesting that Emery said in his pre Brentford press conference, that he knows Chambers can play CB, but he see's him more as a right back or midfielder in this squad. Maybe with Cash, Konsa being tested at RB, as well as Chambers, we arent looking for a new right back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I don't want him to go....I see him as essentially utility and a squad player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he did use this squad it's probably because 1 injury to Kamara or Dendoncker assuming we keep Luiz as the further forward midfielder and McGinn as the RM means chamber is next DM up. And if Cash gets hurt right now Him and Konsa are 1st and 2nd choice rbs whatever order. Whereas it really takes 2 injuries for him to be in conversation to be CB.

I agree, I think it would be utterly pointless. I think he's about as good as we can get as an experienced rotation option that is happy to be so. He's nothing flashy or special, but he's dependable, and you need players like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah.....When we have been "Hell bent for leather" for an hour and 2-0 up and we slip in to containment/possession mode to see out, the winning position......I feel quite calm, seeing him come on. as you say....not flashy, just effective and nullifying Edited July 30, 2023 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emery can deploy him for multiple uses in a game. The player is vastly experienced and aside from his lack of pace he's a solid player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 If he is happy to be our 5th choice CB/3rd choice RB/4th-5th choice holding mid then he is a really good player to keep in the squad as he can always be relied upon to put in a decent shift. It is not so long ago that a player of his quality would have been a regular starter for us which shows how far we've come. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the coaching is helping, seems less headless chicken and more composed on the ball - Don Unai working his magic again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the amount of fixtures across cups/league/europe, i doubt he'll be thinking in terms of '4 or 5th choice' - He'll get a good amount of game time this season.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Chambers was quality tonight (Lazio) and playing both RB and CB. His versatility is so important for Villa this season, I hope he sticks around and gets some games. Plays some really nice passes too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted August 3, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2023 I really like him. He has some limitations, and is 5th choice for those reasons, but he is a great 5th choice CB/DM/whatever. Definite keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
