I got car sick from watching it and now need a lie down.

It's epilepsy inducing, should come with a warning like flash photography.

I had to switch it off, it made me giddy. Also his arms didn’t look like they were his, they looked to floppy.

It reminds me of Sir Digby Chicken Caesar.

I have not seen this sort of footage and do not wish to. I once watched some footage of a cat with a little GoPro stuck to its head. That was enough.

Youri Tielemans bodycam vs Newcastle United, This is brilliant, i hope we get to see more stuff like this.

yeah, that's a really interesting watch - I was surprised how much they can hear of each other on the pitch.  Having never played in front of more than about fifty people, I'd always imagined on-pitch communication between players would be difficult and that players would have to scream to be heard.  Clearly not so.

If we get the lean, motivated Tielemans from when Leicester were challenging for the Champions League, he'll be a hell of an asset.

And all indications so far suggest that he might well be.

That would be very nice for us. It would also p!ss off the "expert" naysayers that reckon he has too many 'minutes in his legs' and is in decline.

Tielemans is a very tidy footballer. Does all of the simple things well. But then has the ability to play a pass like the one to Digne that led to the goal or some of his others across the game that will make a huge asset. He’s not going to be JJ in his attacking runs, he’s not McGinn in his overall energy and tenacity. He’s a slightly lesser version of Doug in my opinion and that’s pretty damn good given how good he’s become.

You need to stop taking these videos to heart.  Tifo don't hate Villa, they just make fairly balanced football content.  Most of it is pretty good.  But even the mildest scepticism or criticism of Villa seems to have our fans acting like the pundit has just shagged their mom. 

Of course when they don't make content about Villa then we're being ignored and they only care about the media darlings...

If we can get him back to the levels he was at at his best for Leicester, I think he can be better than all of them. Going past players is his strength, and other than Buendia occasionally we don't really have that at the moment.

Not sure what videos you're on about. ::) I was referring to some comments I'd read on Twitter and other clubs' forums when we signed him.

Tifo don't hate Villa but they have extremely rigid (and pretentious) views on football and couldn't cope with us last year breaking their precious little model, so they dismissed us as 'lucky'.

Fuck 'em, the floppy haired little oat milk cartons.

Teilemans comment is about 3 mins 50.  But he also talks in length about Torres & Mings.
