Yeah, if you want to play yourself out of the team right now then booting it up the pitch is the way to go.We will concede a handful of goals through the season by playing out from the back but it’s factored in and out weighed by all the positives Garyth mentions.The mental strength this team has is incredible and a joy to watch, and that’s built on by playing this way. After years of watching plenty weak as piss Villa teams, what we’re witnessing and thoroughly enjoying now is just beautiful to behold.
I agree, I get annoyed with that too. However, I do think that’s what makes him and us so dangerous though. When it works and we get through the opposition, it almost always ends up with us travelling the full length of the pitch. He also must have instruction to do it, otherwise Unai would have knocked it out of him by now.

McGinn or Grealish in the past, at worst they are getting a free kick. Wrap their body around the ball so if the opponent dives in then it's a foul. Free kick never a bad result especially if they are getting on top.

Great goal, mostly great performance, love the passion but, needs to control his frustration and be careful about getting involved in afters - thankfully, Bogarde was in the mix with him at the end because he was looking slightly unhinged. Other teams will come looking for him on that level, if he continues to show his emotion.

He’s a brilliant player.
