Clever Fox Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 1 hour ago, mozartfox said: Much better than Dirty Delph. Definitely, He's so versatile that I cant believe he's not in the squad. He can play left and right forward or back. Plus the energy he has. He's a shining example for all young players who feel they don't have enough talent. If they work hard they can acquire the skills to make a good career for themselves.
JamesWelshFox Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 It is no coincidence that we play better when Albrighton is playing. The graft he puts in both going forward and going backwards to help out his full back is phenomenal. In the modern game where full backs are expected to bomb forward, your winger has to be capable of covering for him, and Albrighton fits the bill perfectly. When he does get forward his delivery is generally pretty good. Reminds me of Steve Guppy in many ways, might not be an outstanding talent but a brilliant team player. Albrighton haters just need to do one, because he is part of what makes us tick as a team.
Father Ted Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 19 hours ago, Dames said: With the engine he has i’d be tempted to convert him into a CM. He’s very similar to James Milner and I think he would adapt very well. Would help solve a few problems we have as well. Not yet but I can see him shifting into a deeper central role later in his career.
murphy Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 Really intelligent movement for his goal. I hope Nacho was watching.
Grebfromgrebland Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 He seems to be getting into more scoring positions lately. He's definitely trying to improve his game.
ealingfox Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 Villa He's only just turned 29 - should have a good few years left in him yet. Top bloke and encapsulates so much of what's been good about the club since we came up.
Cincinnati Fox Posted 28 December 2018 Posted 28 December 2018 Really odd that Pearson did not fancy him until the run in when it was all or nothing

blue army 1988 Posted 28 December 2018 Posted 28 December 2018 I really really can not believe Villa let him go. Most under rated player ever!
danny2997 Posted 3 June 2019 Posted 3 June 2019 Bit of a long shot, but I recall Albrighton pulling out some "Mahrez-esque" skills early in the season but can't remember when it was, has anyone got any clips? Or even just remember what match(es) it was?

Must go down as one of our best ever signings. Villa has done extremely poorly over management of their signings and transfers in the past decade. I still remember clearly that Albrighton was highly highly rated by Villa coaching staff and the fans, and he had a really good season despite the team playing poorly. He was one of their brightest stars. Then a new manager came in and didnt see him in the plan and he was released on a free. Unbelievable really.
Nick Posted 3 June 2019 Posted 3 June 2019 MON knew he was a talent. I used to pick him in fantasy football back in the day but I think it was when O’Neil left he didn’t get the game (not certain) time. I was made up when we signed him.
weller54 Posted 21 July 2019 Posted 21 July 2019 Shout out for Marc.. In the opening two friendlies he's been our standout player.. A lot of others nonchalantly wandering around showing little effort.. Not this guy!.. Full at it. Worth 10 x Demarai Grays!. What a LCFC legend he is. Travesty he's never got an England call up.
Livid Posted 21 July 2019 Posted 21 July 2019 If Gray had the same footballing brain he would be outstanding. Absolutely love the guy. He has the odd poor game but his attitude is always spot on.

Vlad the Fox Posted 21 July 2019 Posted 21 July 2019 He came down to my daughters football team the other week, watched them train for over an hour in the rain and more than happy to pose for photos and sign whatever was put in front of him. Top bloke.
