Bit of a scapegoat now.I thought he was decent going forward. Seen some blaming him for 3rd, really? I think second he should've seen Ihenacho drifting off Mings and tucking in as all FBs need to do when a cross is being swung in.Seen him play worse for us.

Quote from: Dave on February 04, 2023, 05:34:16 PMI definitely don't see enough in Moreno compared to Digne so far to think that left-back is where we should have focused all our first team transfer energy in January.If you made a list of all their pros and cons, it's pretty much the same list twice, isn't it?With probably speed (Moreno) and set pieces (Digne) being the differences.I thought Moreno was a lot better going forward than Digne. Looks dangerous in the opposition box, just not fully on same wavelength as Buendia et al. He looks a very average defender, mind.

Looks dangerous in the opposition box, just not fully on same wavelength as Buendia et al. He looks a very average defender, mind.He looks more likely to dribble it past someone, sure.But Digne's crosses seem to end up in the same postcode as whoever has accidentally found themselves in the box, whereas I reckon Moreno and Cash could probably have a lovely time over-hitting crosses to each other for a whole ninety minutes.
I’d take the Leicester guy, who was making his debut, over all 4 Villa full back options.Such a disappointment yesterday. It seems we are some distance from getting the home form right. Emery is, I’m sure, trying desperately hard to show the home supporters a vibrant style and a winning team…..I have absolutely no doubt we will get there under UE.UTV

Him and Tete were their stand-out players, both debuting.
