What I noticed was that he seamlessly slipped into a back four position when we needed it.  None of our current midfielders could do that except perhaps Chambers

Which probably isn’t too surprising as I’d consider Chambers more of a defender who can play in midfield at a push.

Did he make it a back 5?

No, he played in front of the back 4. But he seamlessly drifted between defence and a slightly more advanced CM position.

Some of those first time passes were exquisite. I'm very much looking forward to watching this young man play next season.

Yes, it was a Twitter highlights reel but it did look very promising indeed.

He didn’t do much wrong the entire 45 minutes. You’d think he’d been part of this set up for a while in the manner in which he played. He’s going to have harder games of course and this was a friendly. But first impressions are very positive.

We need a poll:
- Injured in September, out for season
- Has a great season, bought by oil money next summer
- Has a great season, stays at Villa

Just kidding with the last one.

Watching him live my honest impression was that the pace of the game (even though it was a pre-season friendly) surprised him as the first 15 mins he was a little back on his heels on a couple of occasions but he then grew into the half.  By the end you could see his confidence had grown.

First impressions were that he's a player that can break up play but also posses enough skill and vision to turn teams around and spread the ball, move it on quickly or just keep possession.  I can't think of a better manager for him to be playing under than Gerrard which is probably why we got him.

As I put in the wacky prediction thread, I'd add that he turns into Ashley Westwood by October.

Let's hope so. He'd be following in a long tradition of top notch pointers after Kinsella and Westwood.

Was it possible to make Mess(e)rs Tonev, Helinius Maximus and that bloke off Neighbours, Brett Holman, look good in a mid-2010's highlights reel?

If you were to do a highlights real for these it would need to be of them walking their dogs.

Probably only possible if they visited a hair salon.
