Onana had a 92% pass completion rate, scored a goal, and was the only player other than Torres not to lose possession once. He had a great game.

Yeah but apart form that.... 😉

I like him, a lot, and think he is only going to get better under Emery. Exciting times.

Exactly. He's never going to be the sort to glide gracefully across the pitch like a ballerina, it's just not possible when you're as tall as he is. But he did exactly what he needed to do last night, and that gives Tielemans the structure to play his more expansive game. Although some of Onana's passing is actually getting to be a lot better than just 5 yard short passes to keep things ticking over. I think he's settled in really well, and it bodes well for the future. He's only just turned 23 as well.

Not only has he settled in on the pitch, he looks like he's embracing all aspects of being here.

He's not alone either, Rogers looks like he's living his best life since he came.

I do wonder why he insists on the fist pump celebrations at the end with the fans. For me personally it's not his place to do that it's a managers thing or at least someone been at club longer than 5 mins.
It's a bit cringe worthy. Must he ?

If he continues to score regularly he can celebrate however he wants

Doesn't even need to score. Bonding with fans is always good.

Why him though why not whole team. Martinez didn't look impressed at West Ham. McGinn not sure about it yesterday.

Why not?

If that's his way to connect with the fans then so be it. The supporters seem to enjoy it.

Leave the bloke alone FFS.

Serious question - have you ever attended a Villa game in real life Footy, old bean?

All have our opinions.
I just think the fist pumps like a cheer leader aren't his place. You don't that's simple and fair enough.

Martinez was doing the fist pumps a few times last season. I think anyone doing it on a regular basis is a bit silly, bit it's hardly a problem.

That shot was so sweetly hit. I don’t think any of us saw his ability to score goals for us as a key trait. More helping to keep them out. It’s great to see his ability and more importantly his overall attitude. He’s been a superb addition.

Tielemans is doing well, but the thought of a fit again Kamara and Onana in central midfield is an interesting prospect.

None shall pass or No pasaran as they might say to them

Hopefully he carries on, especially at home games because while the Holte is cheering him,I can get to Aston station a lot easier
