Has to be said he was the one silver lining with the very dark cloud that was our performance tonight. He never stopped chasing the ball even if it was a lost cause, his running and movement down the wing was exceptional, and the way he beat four of their players to have first shot was unbelievable. To me he could an absoloute legend if we can keep him. His acknowledgement of the crowd after the final whistle also shows what it means to him, even if the other players don't give a shit.
-
Agreed.
-
He MUST start taking freekicks and corners, Ash has forgot how to take a free kick.
-
he has the potential to be top drawer
2 good feet,willingness to take people on with tricks and shifting of feet etc
you would give a lot to have his future!
Imagine the Flange he is going to have to beat off with a shitty stick??
-
If we had a team of players with his skill, commitment and intelligence we would be unstoppable. He's a cracking player and well done for Kev Mc and the other coaches that have done so well with him.

If he has a good season he could be at Man City next summer....

Ash hasn't taken a decent free kick in about two years.
-
Best deliverer of the ball in our squad. Should definitely take Ashley's place at corners and freekicks on current form.
-
He is class. Needs to keep himself fit and out harms way from the tackles that will keep flying in.
-
I don't want to put too much pressure on his young shoulders but he did look good again.

He almost scored from one tonight.
-
He looked very good.
I also noticed that A.Young did not play him at least twice when he was in great positions, which seemed a little strange, but instead Young went elsewhere, almost like he didn't want Albrighton to be the star. Though I'm probably wrong.

I don't think you're wrong. I saw that aswell and thought the same. Professional jealousy?

Possibly. You can't knock A.Young's effort, but if he's not going to pass to others because he wants the limelight, that's just not good enough.
-
He did do well again today.
Had a wonderful opportunity to put Ash in in the first half and messed it up though, but I don't think that's down to any problems between the two!
-
I think any mistakes in his game are down to inexperience more than anything. His shot in the second half would have been better if he'd tried to place it rather using power, he's got the ability to do that.
-
Young's first free kick was a decent effort, but the one late on in the second half was so poor it's untrue. No power, central, too much height. I honestly believe i could have taken a better free kick than that...and i'd only want a tenner for the pleasure!
-
His run, cut in and shot was reminiscent of Morley against Everton

Exact same thing I said to my Dad, if he had scored it would have been almost identical.
-
quality young player... only positive on an otherwise very very depressing night...
-
If only the rest of them had the same hunger and desire. Who knows we might even have been on 6 points and still in the Europa league.

It was like he was playing with a beach ball at times.
-
Was awesome, im just rather hoping Man City dont be w****rs and do all they possibly can to buy him. Any decent player in villa colours are off for the noisy neighbours in manchester, time we stood up as a club and told them to fuck off!

That was a wonderful piece of play. He seems to be the sort of player who will be able to light up a dull game with an individual piece of brilliance. It's wonderful to have him coming through the ranks. I'd like to see him start for us today.

I think Albrighton will be like Gabby, in that being a local boy, and a Villa fan, he would be more inclined to stay at villa as long as he's getting the games and we're not in the championship.
-
The youth policy at Villa Park will reap dividends in the next couple of years. These lads that are coming through could well be another Giggs, Beckham, Scholes etc. It is all a matter of timing and experience. Albrighton is a magnificent player but he needs easing into things. Great times ahead for us.
-
I think he’s still got a long way to go and a lot to learn, but he certainly looks like the next one who will be capable of joining Gabby and being able to hold down a slot at a top six club.
-
The name "Albrighton" is a fitting name for Marc because his play "bightens the pitch". It is really cool to watch his unbridled and uncynical energy. He has to be a permanent starter. It's not hyperbole to state that he has morphed into my favourite Villa player.
-

Did Ash EVER know how to take a free kick ?
Whenever he prepares to take a free kick on goal, the people in Row Z are in far more danger of getting hit than the back of the net.
Ash seems to go for the perfect curler into the top corner. I'd prefer it if he at least got a few on target and gave the rest of the team a chance of putting in a rebound
-
He's so direct it makes him exciting every toime he gets the ball.
That's aid he looked totally at a loss for 30% of the game and nearly gave away 3 very dangerous free kicks.
Problem with such exciting players is they do get found out and stopped, but he looks to have plenty more in his armoury to come given time and patience.
He lacks that killer something that makes great players but he's very exciting never the less and would temper the blow should Ash Young be sold this week.
-
Half way through the second half he looked knackered and I thought we might need to take him off but he seemed to get a second wind and did his bit in keeping Everton out.
-
Bale and Malouda took a few Years before they really blossomed.
The futures bright the futures Albrighton!
-
he gave it all yesterday ! Maybe he could play in the middle when he gets a bit stronger, aka milner ?
-
I've watched Marc come through the ranks and I'm pleased and not surprised
he has made the step-up to the first team-
Provided he is coached well and rested whilst he is developing there's no
reason why he can't be a first team regular in the future (unless Citeh steal him)-
He does have a bit of a temper which needs to be controlled or it could result
in him getting needless cautions-
You can't fault his work rate and chasing lost causes -
Pity he didn't slot that chance away yesterday, maybe Heskey should give him
some tutoring in the art of scoring off various parts of your anatomy-
I'm confident 'Super Marc' is going to be a firm favourite with the Villa faithful
-
Like many, I think Albrighton is a prospect, but he scares the wits out of me defensively. Baines was having his way down the flank yesterday as the result of A's inability to stay with him. Albrighton also thinks his pace is quick enough to take him by players at this level, but that is only the case on rare occasions. He abused the West Ham defender, to be sure, but Jose Enrique muffled him and he fared only slightly better yesterday. This is not to say he is not already a solid player, but we need a little bit more defensive grit as there were simply too many crosses coming in from his counterpart yesterday. I imagine I am in the minority in this opinion...
-
No I’d agree. I thought first half in particular he was largely clueless of where Baines was, but then he is young and he is learning all the time.
-
Needs to stop going to ground so much, especially in and around our own box.
-

yow from birmingum ar kid?
-
I would say he's played a little more than he should have so far. We don't want to burn him out. But he looks a real prospect indeed. He just keeps going at the opposition, which I like. He's not afraid to go at a defender and risk getting chopped down or losing the ball. He's exciting.
What with Ash still patchy, and perhaps head turned by other clubs, and Downing continuing to disappoint, Albrighton may well become a key player for us this season.
But in some recent games he's tired in the 2nd half. I'd rest him next game, and bring him back in our next home match.
-
He certainly needs to work on the defensive side of his game. I was scared he was going to give a penalty away on a couple of occasions.
He's still very raw though. He clearly has a great future ahead of him but he needs games to learn. I hope he watches videos of his games to assess himself too.
