[Brazilian Villain]

Quansah buggered up his attempt to cut it out?

Imagine the carnage if we signed him. Name related, I mean.

It'd be mayhem on here between Boxing Day and New Year's Day.

[OCD]

Has he become first choice left back this week?

[goldenjimi]

He's had a fantastic week, I didn't think he started well against Brighton but grew into it and was superb today, so dangerous when he's attacking

[brontebilly]

Huge step forward today in his Villa career. Good going forward but held Saka defensively. From memory it was away at Arsenal maybe 18 months ago where he had a mare and was hooked at the break.

I thought he had a good game today as well.  He has top.end speed and got forward well throughout the game.

Great close control as well, and he's getting better defensively. With hindsight after a year of settling in him and Onana is excellent business last summer and both are still a few years away from their prime.

At the moment they're both solid top-eight players, but both have all the attributes needed to be among the best in the world in their positions, with the right coaching

My MOTM for today

[Ian.]

He’s a fantastic player and really exciting. He was superb towards the end of last season. Him and Digne are very good full backs.

Onana is ace, I love him. A great addition to Kamara and Tielemans.

That’s the best midfield in the league.

Yep, exactly, add in Rogers who is on the same level and we've got 3 players who I think will all be discussed as world class in 18months time., Cost us ~£90m but will be worth 3-4x that between them by the end of the season.
