Aston Villa: Player Ratings - Bologna

Alright, Villa fans, let's break down that Bologna game. We're talking about the pre-season friendly, yeah? The lads were on tour in Italy, and it was a decent test, but not exactly a thriller. Let's be honest, these pre-season friendlies are all about getting the minutes in and testing things out.

Here's the rundown of the Villa players and how they performed:

Goalkeepers

Robin Olsen: Not much to do for the Swede. He looked confident and commanded his box, but he didn't really have to make any big saves. 6.5/10

Defenders

Matty Cash: Matty was solid as usual. He's a machine in defense, and even though he didn't get forward as much as usual, he kept things tight. 7/10

Ezri Konsa: A bit shaky at times, but Konsa still showed why he's a key player for Villa. He had some good tackles and clearances, but also a few moments where he could have done better. 6/10

Tyrone Mings: Captaining the side, Mings was a rock at the back. He led the defense well and was a calming presence. 7/10

Lucas Digne: A bit of a mixed bag. He had some good moments going forward, but he also looked a little rusty defensively. 6/10

Midfielders

Douglas Luiz: A tireless worker as always. Douglas controlled the tempo in midfield and broke up play effectively. 7/10

John McGinn: The Scotsman was a bit quiet in this one. He didn't have his usual impact on the game, but he was still a valuable presence in midfield. 6/10

Marvelous Nakamba: Nakamba came on in the second half and added some bite to the midfield. He was physical and broke up play well. 6.5/10

Jacob Ramsey: Ramsey had a good game, showing his energy and pace. He was a constant threat going forward and created some good chances. 7/10

Philippe Coutinho: Coutinho was a little off the pace in this one, but he still showed some glimpses of his quality. He had some good moments on the ball, but he wasn't able to create much in the way of chances. 6/10

Forwards

Ollie Watkins: Watkins was the main threat up front for Villa. He worked hard and got into some good positions, but he couldn't find the back of the net. 6.5/10

Cameron Archer: Archer came on in the second half and looked bright. He had a couple of good runs and shots but couldn't find the net. 6.5/10

Leon Bailey: Bailey had a few good runs and shots, but he couldn't find the net. He still showed some signs of his pace and skill, though. 6/10

Overall: A decent performance from Villa, considering it was a pre-season friendly. There were some good individual performances, but the team didn't quite gel as well as they could have. The next few friendlies will be crucial for finding their rhythm before the season starts.

Let's keep the faith, Villa fans! Up the Villans!
