Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest pre-match thread

Yeah, it's a bit unreasonable to ask Kamara to up his performances from his current "one of the best midfielders in the league" level.

Need Kamara to up his performances. Starting tomorrow. Starting to rack up the level of players with muscle injuries. Mings, not sure he was fully warmed up at Liverpool. The rest like Barkley, interrupted pre season, Torres, unsure, and Onana, standard unfortunately. Cash, Kamara, Maatsen is three fresh starters and McGinn only played a half.

Apart from Man Utd, I think Kamara has been really good in virtually every game.

Completely outplayed at Chelsea anyway and not hectic at West Ham either.

Have you ever considered that you might be a bit negative?

Recent performances havent been great hence the need to up it a bit.

[eye digress]

He has been slightly more susceptible to making errors (one important turnover vs ManU springs to mind, for example), but I think that reflects the fact that he’s playing with more depth and so at times, in riskier parts of the pitch (by way of illustration, the one vs one against Chelsea).

[Brend'Watkins]

I agree his level of performance recently have dropped a notch. He’s still very good at that level mind. I expect him to be right on it tomorrow.

Maybe the breather against Arsenal might do him the world of good

We’ve definitely had worse Christmas results.

I for one am glad bronte’s finally stopped being so much of a happy clapper tbh.
