Lucas Digne

[Risso]

Can I just say I was wrong about Digne and in the last three games he's shown me up as a know nothing twat?

Mate, it didn't need Digne to do that!

[Richard]

Undroppable currently. Be interesting to see if for certain games Moreno plays in front of him like Cash did with Konsa on Sunday. In Emery, tactical genius, we trust.

I've only just seen this you cheeky get

[Footy-Vill]

We've got a decent winnable run of games now, and then a two week break between Fulham and Spurs. Hopefully that's enough time to get Ramsey and Moreno fully fit. Ramsey walks straight back into the team, not sure Moreno does at the moment.

Yes Digne is playing well, but that's great too because given the type of injury it was building up fitness with chunks of subs appearances will probably be needed.

Lucas Digne has made most crosses in the league 67
Along with Trippier.

He's made the 3rd highest interceptions in the league and the most by any Aston Villa player-15

[Footy-Vill]

Luca Digne is the player who receives the progressive pass rather than makes the progressive pass. Torres McGinn Kamara play balls to him.
He also doesn't pass into the area as much as a Estupian or Trippier instead he's preferred to cross the ball.

I think it's a case of needs must but ideally Emery would be looking for more progressive passer and some one who passes or carries into the area. We have Moreno but we need another.

Digne strength lies in crossing the ball, interceptions and set piece deliveries. 
Passing is not his strong point and he doesn't take players on.

Just a 'shout out' to Lucas Digne. He has really impressed me this season with his attacking play , his energy, and also his defensive play has improved.

I was a bit nonplussed by him before this season, but with Moreno unavailable, I would be concerned if he wasn't in the starting line up.

[Astnor]

I think he has been equal good since he came here from Everton. French international as well. Supriseingly we did buy a player of equal quality to him in Moreno as there was other places more urgent to upgrade - like RB. Moreno slightly better or more dangerous going forward but Digne slightly better defensively. Either way we have two excelent LB s and the team set up is so that they are used a lot during the game and have to run up the pitch and back more than most others so make sense to change on for the other after like after 67 minutes.

[Risso]

He's been excellent and like most other players has blossomed under Emery.

[Toronto Villa]

He’s been one of the best LBs in the league this season.

[Steve67]

Fantastic cross for the second goal.

[PaulWinch again]

He’s obviously got class, but his effort is staggering.

[LeeB]

Fantastic cross for the second goal.

It was absolutely the perfect cross, it had the keeper doing the hokey cokey.

[Drummond]

He's doing great, but Moreno adds something different and is more dynamic. Let's hope he comes back with the same physical attributes.

I think Digne is doing just fine, and wouldn't want to lose him but in a game with 9 subs, and the threat we try to have have from that position on the pitch, we need both.

[eamonn]

I think he's playing out of his skin but there are times where his lack of natural ability lets him down and you suddenly remember that Emery is getting 100% out of practically all of his players.

He took a ball flat on the side of his foot yesterday in the second half, which you knew was just going to ping off him, despite him having time to judge the ball in the air coming his way.

I think he's less of a pushover physically than he used to be and his fitness must be far stronger given the amount of times he has to tear up and down the left wing but I'm looking forward to Moreno coming back in to see if he can emulate his form last spring.

All players make the odd mistake. McGinn had that miscued shot when he should have scored, and Watkins missed what should have been a relatively easy chance to place it in the corner. But they're all part of a team that is playing out of its skin, and Digne is a very important part of that. I too look forward to Moreno coming back, but he's got to get fit, stay fit, then try to force his way back into the side.
