Juraj Kucka

What an effort from our new Slovak midfielder! Could still do with some more depth as I wouldn't like to see a 34 year old play every game, but if today was anything to go by I have no qualms about him starting whatsoever!

 

Impressive,very impressive.
However I expect he will receive a fair few cards of both colours,so he won't play every game!

 

An absolute machine with excellent footwork.

 

Having seen just how good he is, I'm a little surprised that a big PL club didn't go in for him earlier in his career

 

He was at Milan (albeit when they were a faded force), so maybe it would have been quite expensive to prise him from them!

 

Unreal today, I was one of those who scoffed at the signing, feeling suitably embarrassed tonight

 

Felipe Galli was obviously right about this guy, I told you so

 

Solid midfielder but I reckon he will miss a few matches due to suspension this season.

 

As long as he's crunching horrible turds like McGinn then swing away Juraj, swing away.

 

Favourite moment was when he shoulder barged someone, took the ball, turned round and danced between another two players and played a perfect pass. Haven't heard applause like that for a sub in a long time - Dennis had a great reception as well.

As others say, we do need another. Gosling isn't even close and the game went away from us as soon as he left the pitch.

 

Yep we need one more centre mid whether that be Chalobah or new guy

 

It’s probably worth pointing out though Villa has around 52 forwards on the pitch by the last 10 minutes.

 

Very true. Bailey vs Cathcart helped as well after Young gave him no issues.

 

Hey Good Looking
What Ya Got Kucka ing

 

Is that a satsuma bag?

 

Definitely missed him when he went off. Agree Gosling didn't look the same level at all

 

Was my MotM today. We saw good debuts from Dennis, Cucho and Etebo but Kucka beat them all. Great performance. He was immense. He's going to pick up yellows as that's his game, so we WILL lose him to suspensions during the season, but another player I'm really impressed with.

 

Absolute baller

 

Transfer thread got locked before I could ask, but does anyone know Juraj's stance on the current Afghanistan situation?

 

Watford just put out a Kucka highlights reel with appropriate music. I think we need one of these every match.

 

Oh dear

Haha. Refund please.

 

Whoops sorry must have posted at the same time.

 

No. No no no no no

 

We're down.

 

That's very close to being a disaster. Adds a new dimension to the Hughes/Chalobah/new midfielder situation

 

**** off. Keep ******* off. Then **** off some more.

Thank god we signed Louza although I wouldn't put it past Xisco to start Gosling on Saturday.

 

I thought he was subbed because he was booked.

Explains the sudden move for Ozan Tufan

 

Typical

 

Oh f***. There goes my blossoming optimism.

 

Who are football insider as I have only heard this reported by them and I have never heard of them before.

 

They are actually normally pretty spot on.
