Can we stop bumping this thread now. Seeing his name makes me angry.
The stupid donkey.
Think we are in danger of judging another player too early in his Villa career. If they aren't instantly God or better some of us dismiss them as useless.
Still loads of potential in this team and none of them are the finished article. Stay up or go down, we are in a much better place than for any time in the last 10 years. Silly mistakes have cost us this year.
There are more levels to some of these players.
There's a big enough sample size of games to start forming opinion. Whilst you're right it's too soon to write him off (which I have been guilty of here) when the sample size grows and you observe a consistent decline in level it's pretty concerning.Think we are in danger of judging another player too early in his Villa career.

How many bad games has he had? Only played 20 or so, he's not McGrath, but he had a track record of brilliance before he came to us. Engels is much younger and could still become a great player. No guarantees of course.There's a big enough sample size of games to start forming opinion.

Is he injured?
Thought this today. I've been impressed with him but it appears we are unable to shake off the habit of forming a new bomb squad. Guilbert is squadron leader this time round, and I'm guessing engels is now in.Is he injured?
