Amadou Onana

[Max Villan]

I think it's probably as simple as that he's now spent a fair amount of time being coached by an elite manager. The difference in nearly all our players from when they started playing under Emery is astounding.

[Drummond]

Thought it was his best half hour in a Villa shirt. Haven't seen the stats but he seemed to make crucial interceptions to get us attacking. And what a feckin' finish for the goal. Even a Pope, turning 33 on the weekend Jesus died and rose at the same age, couldn't rely on divine inspiration to keep it out.

Killed him.

Future captain .   Seems a very popular guy down there and intelligent too.

Hopefully a future pundit when the media realises that having gurning fools is not the way to keep going.

Really impressed with him today. Thought he really brought impetus to the midfield and gave us drive forward, as well as sweeping up defensively.

Agreed. Showed a glimpse of what he’s capable of today.

[dcdavecollett]

Yes, really enjoyed some of his driving runs; they really struggled with him.

Pushing for a starting spot.  His issue might be the players in front of him are hard to drop/rest.

Flopped at Man City when given a big chance though. Did make a big impact yesterday to be fair, especially with Kamara a bit off it. Not sure Emery drops Kamara v Bournemouth. Would be a big call.

Twice I've seen you post that about his Man City performance and I can only think you were watching a different game to me.

[cdbearsfan]

He was fine at Man City. Replacing him with Asensio was an odd sub.

[JUAN PABLO]

i thought he was getting better in the man city game , was having a good second half with blocks and tackles and was suprised he got taken off .  He was good yesterday , he is loving it at the villa and loved his communication with Youri through the game.

[OCD]

Start Onana and Karama together as the 2 anchors and push Tielemans forward, playing off Watkins.

Agree, Onana was fine at Man City. He really needs to start especially with some players looking jaded. He can drive through the opposition midfield with power and pace.

[RamboandBruno]

Yea I’d be tempted to Start Onana, Kamara, McGinn and Tielemans as a four against  Bournemouth with Rogers in the 10 instead of Asensio.
