He still seems to be quite easily shunted off the ball if his opponent can get near him. Need to develop 10 lbs to a stone of upper body muscles so that he can lean onto opponents going shoulder. to shoulder with him
I posted in the youth thread, but Onomah has made the 3rd most tackles per 90mins for players that have made over 20 appearances, not bad considering his reputation/the narrative

This is why we send people on loan.I just want to say how well Josh has done at Aston Villa recently, being played in different positions almost every game, having fans turn against him and the loan seemingly ending negatively he has reacted superbly going up a gear.
His recent stats are simply insane,
Against Preston, 5 dribbles, 6 tackles, 83% passing accuracy.
Against Ipswich, 2 dribbles, 5 tackles, 92% passing accuracy, 2 Assists
Against Leeds, 7 dribbles, 3 tackles, 81% passing accuracy
The stats for his last three starts, to put that in context most players in the PL who are known for dribbling manage an average of two a game and a similar amount for tackles. But more importantly what interests me is how he has developed and faced adversity in such a positive manner getting his head down and putting in great performances. A good showing in the Play offs and he is well set to compete for time next season.
