Tammy Abraham

Glad he got his goal today, hopefully another 9 or so this season.

[Toronto Villa]

Needs to start games going forward.

Aston Villa striker Tammy Abraham said: "Like I said many times, it feels like a dream to come back and play for this club again. I'm happy to be here and bring extra energy.

"I had to sniff around the box, be alert, be ready. Luckily for us, I got the goal.

"These things are important in football. Set pieces have been one of the key factors in football. We were hungry. Well done to Ezri [Konsa] for the first contact and I was there for the second contact. It was in front of some of the best supporters in the world."

He needs to be our starting striker now and there is absolutely no reason for that not to be the case.

[PaulWinch again]

Well done Tammy.

Good PR there from Tammy.

Tammy Abraham on Ollie Watkins: "We know he is a top striker and he has been here for a few years and scored many goals, so is fantastic competition to have."

Love tammys attitude. He has been a snip for 18m. Just ashame we had to sell malen to make the move happen.
Malen and tammy in same team would ahve been great

Did he mean to knee it? The only way he could have scored was with that spin. The slow-mo of the ball evading Calvert-Lewin's jump and nestling in the net just below the bar looked artistic AF.

Tammy Abraham on playing with Ollie Watkins: "We spoke about it a few times in training, and luckily we were able to grab the goal so the gaffer can see that it can work."

I like the idea of Tammy through the middle, Ollie and Rogers just playing behind him. Using Tammy’s strength to attack through the middle and outside. Which means it won’t happen of course.

I'm struggling to see how moving Watkins away from the one position where he's adequate to playing a role that relies on touch, technique and vision is going to do us many favours. If he plays, it ought to be as an Abraham replacement or not at all.

Didnt deano play ollie out wide a few times? I think he did ok back then.  But this version  of ollie i think  you might be right and he will struggle

If he did, we weren't third in the PL at the time. The two things are probably connected.

Correct we were a newly promoted side

[Toronto Villa]

I know Ollie isn’t what he was. He’s just struggling as a front line lone striker. But I still think he has value over many of the alternatives. As I said I don’t think it happens but it would be interesting to see how we can still use his pressing and work rate to help bring other players into the game even if he’s not the goalscoring threat he once was. Players as they age need to evolve and it’s clear to see he’s just not the forward we are accustomed to seeing.
