Emi Buendia

[ChicagoLion]

On the radio, the commentators were creaming over a control by Emi. Apparently the ball came from a very high height and he was surrounded by players, he just easily trapped it then passed it to one of ours. I’d love to see it.

Yes it was absolute class.

I'm so pleased he got the winner he's been brilliant this season.

Cash (the man in black) had a fine resurgence in the 90s with the American Recordings but I don't recall Onana ever having a musical career to resurrect.

No, but he was namechecked in 90s songs.

Sick beats, fine bars. I love it!

From being so peripheral he was in his plain clothes attending Villa games while injured and out of favour to being our game-changer this season. What a guy!

[cdbearsfan]

Wouldn't he still have been injured when those photos were taken?

[eamonn]

Yeah, thought I covered that!

You can't expect me to read posts properly!

This might be a hostage situation

That contract extension we gave him at the beginning of the year looks like a canny move.

Looks like Emi has been taking lessons from SJM. The way he bummed into the Basel lad to fend him off before laying the pass on for Youri's winner was a classic Meatball rope-a-dope roll.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Yeah, I noticed that. Did it a couple of times during the game. Doesn't seem that long ago many were having a go at how easily he got pushed off the ball. Not any more. It's like he's been listening to Vitinha, stop trying to compete physically with the big guys and do something different using your skill. He's doing that but added the SJM arse trick, something Vitinha could only dream of.

I'd love it if Emi B gets selected for the Argentina World Cup squad on the back of a trophy and top 4 finish this season.
