MWARLEY2 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Still has decent pace and immense lungs. Tje fact he was so tiny as a young player means that he hasnt got any issue with bodyweifht now. Astonishing longevity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted October 23, 2022 Author Share Posted October 23, 2022 He's won the starting job, IMO. Let Digne try to claw back into the running, maybe he'll improve his play. Who would have thought that Ashley Young would end up as Gerrard's best signing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Bloke is timeless, loved him the first time round but to comeback at the end of his career and put a shift in like he does for our club is superb. I have nothing but admiration for the bloke!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I’m inclined to give him a ‘until you retire’ contract. Legend. Love his shithousing on the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Oh he's definitely moving onto the coaching staff or as a club ambassador when he retires. 100% imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted October 23, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2022 Was an absolute rock today. Class and experience oozing out of every pore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted October 23, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2022 1 hour ago, R.Bear said: He's been genuinely superb when he played. The way he shut off the Brentford player in the second to let the ball go out of play was experience personified. Just rinsed him like garbage. Yeah, I remember that and thought exactly the same. One of those plays that happens in a game where one player just totally owns the other, makes it look like men against boys despite the other guy being a serious professional.

rodders0223 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) Thought he was going to take the penalty as he was holding the ball near the spot for the longest time, had nightmares of him taking them over a decade ago Then passed it to Ings when Brentford settled down and sodded off. He knows the score. Edited October 23, 2022 by rodders0223 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 If Southgate had any sense he’d be on the plane for the World Cup. His performances and leadership have been brilliant of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chine Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 His leadership is fantastic , straight over to players being subbed showing support , whilst he’s currently still a big asset to the team he really will be a huge benefit to the club if he decides to stay on coaching in the future , superb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I love the fact that I am the same age as Ashley Young, it means that there is still hope for me to realise my dream of playing for a premier league team, I'm not too old yet, give him another 12 month contract 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I'd love to hear an interview with him about his move. I guess he just though he was never going to get silverware here and moved on, because he seems to have a genuine fondness for the club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just a model pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
