I think it highlighted how much McGinn hinders us when he's in his panicky mode, which is most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Looked like a slow carthorse under Gerrard. Even Dingles fans said he was a slow workhorse. Showed today a surprising bit of pace, desire and was all round superb. He and Dougie look like they've got a good balance and connection. Just shows what an actual coach can do. Also shows to me how Gerrard was insistent on a system no matter what his coaches were advising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Played well out there, showing a bit of nous and endeavor. Interesting to see how he does next time out. You'd think Danks will start the same team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 The type of 7/10 performance that is vital to the success of any team. Superb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I think he’s a tidy squad option and a steal at 13 million. I didn’t understand our fans reactions to the signing. I get why Wolves fans wanted him out because when a team is really struggling it’s the workman like players that get a fair share of the blame.

MotoMkali Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I will say I think you lot are overrating him a tad. He was excellent today don't get me wrong but I just think you guys are comparing and contrasting him to McGinn and Ramsey in midfield who don't show for the ball, don't pass it and offer nothing defensively.

KMitch Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 He's always been a solid defensive midfielder for Wolves, which is what we've been crying out for in the middle of the park. Still starting for Belgium, despite falling out of favor in club football, but today he showed what he's all about for the first time in a Villa shirt. Will prove to be a great bargain signing in the long run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm not comparing him to them at all. Just commenting on what I saw with my own eyes today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamara and Dougie have the quality to do both roles, but if we need a bit more steel against some tougher sides, Donck can slot in for one of them. Otherwise, it'll be the most in form of the 3 of them starting. This is a good thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I mean that sort of is the thing though. You compare what a great performance this was to the dross we've been serving up on a weekly basis and a lot of credit goes to Dendoncker being able to defend. But it's more that he's able to defend than anything he did being that amazing today imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said when we signed him that sometimes the signings who are the least exciting , end up being the most important. Hopefully he can continue in this vein, give protection to the back four and a solid platform for the team to play from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think to be fair though mate neither are wrong but this is totally down to how he has been utilised in those two games. Bringing him on when we’re a couple of goals down and expecting him to play as some advanced 8 isn’t his game and he was never going to look good. Today we’ve asked him to do what he’s good at, sit in, tidy up and let those around attack. He was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Dendoncker fighting for a place. Or you could even play Kamara and Dendoncker with Luiz in front. Not sure where Buendia would fit in then though, unless used as a wide playmaker.

ferguson1 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 He’s a destroyer, nothing more nothing less. Win it, simple pass. Glad someone finally knows how to use him correctly. Could be really important for us going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I was very unimpressed when he when was announced in the line up as his previous appearances had been shocking. But all credit to him, he was very good today. Did the simple stuff well, and even broke forwards at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
