The oddest thing is Emery's insistence on playing him every minute of every game. It's beginning to look as if he (Emery) may be trying to prove something.
You can't be a 10 if you're passing is as bad as his.
There doesn't seem to be any in between with him. Almost Yaya Toure-esque 1 game for England, then looking like Mr Magoo the next 15 for Villa.

At least he’s still trying to make the passes. If Malen had finished better he’d have a couple of assists. It’ll come, but it’s not going to be helped by the crowd ironically cheering him.
His rate will often be iffy as he tries the game changing attacking passes, which is fine. Problem is some of his basic passing has been cack this season.
