Axel Disasi - signed on loan

[VillaTim]

Disasi good with the ball distribution and has great upper body strength . Shame it's only a loan .

[Drummond]

Pau is a big step up in terms of distribution but not on the physical side of the job.

It's always the same when players are unavailable, their reputation soars! But I do think we need a centre back comfortable with distributing the ball at the back, that's not Disasi, definitely not Konsa and poor Mings is struggling badly with the ball near his feet. Liverpool were letting our CBs, Mings especially, have the ball and pressing hard on our midfielders and full backs instead. Torres is a big asset in that scenario.

I was in favour of bringing Mings back in for Torres, more that he would help organise the defence a lot better, settle Konsa a bit and be a leader where we had none. But unfortunately that hasn't really played out. Mings is struggling horribly these days and sadly doesn't look the player he was pre injury.

That summary is a bit like your match ratings.

Torres' reputation hasn't soared whilst he's been out, he was great before he got injured.

And that's the issue with him. He is too easily bullied . His distribution is good but even that hasn't been its best in the run up to his injury.

Pau should start in the vast majority of games.

Not against elite brutes like Chris Wood and Adama Traore please.

A couple of clumsy bits of play but an incredible wholehearted display. Clearly took real pride in his defending.

[/quote] looks a premature assessment. He has been outstanding recently and we have looked a lot better from set pieces with him in the team.We have sorely missed his aerial ability in defence and his blocks. He is far from finished.

Fantastic defending and he looks like he’s enjoying himself and is popular in the dressing room. I hope we sign him permanently.

[garyellis]

He looks like a player who wants to stay with us.
No idea what will happen close season but looks quality to me and has all the physical attributes for a centre half.

[Demitri_C]

I love this guys fucking passion. When he wins the tackle he roars at how happy he is that he won the challenge.

I love that

Disasi😍Is it possible to love a man deeply so soon after meeting him, just asking as I have no previous?

No idea. I'm just glad that it's Disasi that is the object of your desires.

[manic-road]

Fantastic today, nice to see on the post match interview saying how much he loves it at the Villa.

[VillaTim]

Fantastic display and at RB too which allowed the best CB pairing at the club to play together again. That's 2 away wins on the bounce now we are getting some stability in the central defence .

[ChicagoLion]

What a bloke, made it absolutely clear to Chelsea he wanted to join the Villa, then turns up like a man possessed by playing for the Villa.

😂. Did I say how much I like the Irish accent the other day?
