    What Robbo lacks in finishing he more than makes up for with his final ball

    Which is fine with me, I don't think many teams expect the full backs to score much..

    BREAKING: Aston Villa's first-team squad and management staff will be absent from tomorrow's game vs. Liverpool after a significant Covid outbreak.
    Villa will play their u23s & other academy players if enough of them test negative. Mark Delaney, u23s coach, to take the team

    Maybe we'll have a chance

    Yup, frustratingly turns down some good shooting chances for passes or pass-to-og attempts, good crossing tbf but his energy and running open up space galore and fundamentally I have to say he's an excellent defender, modern day and all that can't be underestimated

    The game should be cancelled. We risk our first team catching covid from the villa players (I wouldnt trust all of them being negative). Doom doom doom

    And that’s why many of our players good though they are - would not make it at Bernabéu or Camp Nou.. Technical level needs to be far superior to the Prem.

    We play fast and high tempo football - it’s effective but it isn’t the highest quality.

    More Marcelo - for those who thought Thiago was something special - and those who don’t know.

    Marcelo is a silkier footballer and Robbo is more industrial. Robbos a better defender.

    The career stats for end product at Liverpool & Madrid respectively. All comps as it's easier

    Robbo - played 151 - goals 5 - assists 35 - minutes 13,175

    Goal or assist per game - 0.265
    Goal or assist per 329.4 minutes

    Marcelo - played 516- goals 38 - assists 99 - minutes 41,722

    Goal or assist per game 0.265
    Goal or assist per 304.5 minutes

    The Bayern boy Davies would be a better shout now, but he's weaker defensively too and imo you can't discount defensive ability.
    In raw end product stats Robbos up there.

    Best left back going atm imo.
