2024/25 Ashley Young

[Axlswhk]

Surely must be taken out. Zero contributions and full of mistakes in the first half.

 

[Eggs]

….arguably our best player this season but that was a very poor half from him.

 

[MikeH72]

When he played Watkins clean through, that should’ve been his Phil Neville moment.

 

[dannyboy]

Held his own all season but way out of his depth in that first half especially. The problem is that even when he plays well it's only relative to the low expectations we have.

 

[blueconverse]

Obviously upset about Dyche. Hopefully Moyes doesn't share his sentiment for Youngy. Bin

 

[SJB]

An uncharacteristic mistake from him tonight, the burden of carrying the team for half the season is clearly taking it's toll. Deserves a rest, hopefully Coleman is ready to start at the weekend.

 

[Sheedy's right peg]

I'd rather see Patterson play.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

I love Young. But we have to start the process of phasing out his time on the pitch in favor of a youth movement. Go with Patterson, Jake, Dixon. Let’s get faster and more inventive by focusing on Armstrong’s age through upper 20 year olds. These older guys are who they are. They’re not a blank slate. We’ve seen what they can do. Look at Dom. It’s stagnant and reached a plateau.

 

[RomanReigns]

Was Villa’s 12th man today

 

[Mick OMalley]

Absolutely dreadful last night, his corners and freekicks either hit the first man or inevitably Ming's head, done his usual wayward back pass and reckless tackle, offered nothing in offence, shocking performance

 

[Clarky cat]

Swung the game in Tottenham’s favour the second he came on. Not his fault he cannot run as fast as players 15 years younger than him but he physically cannot do what modern wide players have to do in 2025. Simply cannot play in anything but a low block.

 

[MikeH72]

40 year old full backs aren’t a thing in the Premier League for a reason.

40 year old full backs aren’t a thing in the Premier League for a reason.

At least Patterson is getting some game time now.

 

[Bkk Andy]

His dedication to playing and keeping himself fit is admirable. He's had a decent season to be fair, but he was awful today. His legs have gone and he just can't keep up with most wingers.

40 year old full backs aren’t a thing in the Premier League for a reason.

Was better when Patterson came on and he shifted to lm. Put their rb under pressure
