Aston Villa Player Grades: Bologna Win - A Solid Performance, But Some Concerns Remain
Alright, Villa fans, let's break down that Bologna win. We got the three points, but was it a convincing performance? Honestly, it was a mixed bag.
The Positives
Emi Martinez (9/10): Our big man was brilliant as always, pulling off some clutch saves and keeping us in the game. He's a rock at the back. What a legend!
Matty Cash (8/10): Matty was flying down the right wing, his crossing was deadly, and his defensive work was solid. He was a constant threat.
Ollie Watkins (8/10): Watkins looked dangerous all game, his movement was top notch, and he got on the scoresheet. He's our main man up front.
John McGinn (7/10): McGinn controlled the midfield, his passing was crisp, and he provided that energy we need. He's the heart and soul of this team.
Jacob Ramsey (7/10): Ramsey was a constant threat, his pace and directness caused Bologna all sorts of problems. He's developing nicely.
The Concerns
Leon Bailey (6/10): Bailey had a few good moments, but he wasn't as impactful as we've seen him be. He needs to find his shooting boots.
Douglas Luiz (6/10): Luiz was a little off his game, didn't quite have his usual sharpness. He needs to be more consistent.
Ezri Konsa (6/10): Konsa was solid defensively, but he could have been more aggressive going forward.
Overall, the performance was solid, but we can definitely do better. We need to sharpen up our finishing and be more clinical in front of goal.
Next up, we've got a big game coming up, so let's keep the momentum going and get another win!
