Have a search for Onomah on Twitter right now, lots of praise from Villa fans.
"Onomah has had a top game tonight "
"Do like Josh Onomah, just needs a run of games to work on his final product#avfc "
"Not understanding comments about Onomah, the boy looks quality - creating a lot out there tonight#AVFC #UTV "

Was watching first half alongside U23 match, at HT and since full time so haven’t been paying full attention, but Onomah’s looked good to me. 7 dribbles which is Dembele levels. Has made some great surging runs forward and has created some chances too; nearly created a goal with a wonderful cross which should have been buried.

agree, was still playing too far forward for me but on the whole he did well, improved in the 2nd half too as he usually does.

Can see what they were doing - Whelan there as a stopper, Onomah and Grealish there to break forward with the loose balls - but I totally agree, he has more control playing deeper.

It's just his style. He hangs back a little and still has the athleticism to beat opponents to the ball. Rather than rush in and potentially lose a 50/50, he's able to delay for a moment, decide whether he can make it, and then either go forward and toe-poke or hang back and cover ground.
I get what your saying windy. But honestly 1st half he really was strolling around. Definitely upped tempo 2 nd half.

Fair enough, I wasn't really paying attention first half as I was watching the U23s on my laptop.
That’s one I really don’t understand Roles is one of the most technically gifted players in the u23 , he certainly knows where the goal is , I can’t see why they holding him back . They seem to be doing the same with shaushoa . Spurs seem to be playing other boys over them , that are nowhere near Roles and shaushoa calibre

Typical, first Villa game for ages I hadn't bothered recording, having got fed up with Onomah not even getting off the bench, and he starts. Recored the repeat later, so will try to watch it tomorrow.
Totally agreee race has absoloutley nothing to do with it . He is a terrific little player , but he has to sort his attitude

2 questions:
I read so much praise for Skipp, any chance he could be fast tracked to start getting first team games and rotating with Dembele next season?
Bennetts seems to effect games constantly, is he a full back or a winger and could be push for a left back spot if Rose leaves?
