Despite generation of 2.42 xg in the gameTaking 25 shots in the game, creating six “big chances” and possessing 76% of possession, Villani managed to score only one goal, while Ten-Man Ipswich (after Axel Tuanzebe sent in the first half) also scored, he also scored The hit, he also scored a goal, also hit once in the first half) also scored in the first half), despite having 24% of possession and only four shots.
Since Jhon Duran is sold in January a transfer, Villa does not have such an inevitable goalkeeper coming from the bench, which is shown not only in the results but also theirs and their XG performance numbers.
This, as a result, encouraged further pressure on the main man Ollie Watkins to keep delivery …
Ollie Watkins season in numbers
Watkins has Made 34 appearances so far this season for Unai emeryThe side scored 12 goals, offering nine assists and a total of 2,369 minutes played. Although this is a great exit on the whole, Watkins is Missing your xg up to -0.15 by 90with -3.7 xg of weaker effect this season.
Duran was a great option for the attacker Villa had with Watkins, as both attackers offered different attributes on the side, allowing Emery to change during the games to give her side, something that has now lost the opportunity to do this.
While Villa signed Marcus Rashford and Donyell in January, which are brilliant accessories in themselves, they now miss the same clinically finisher and physical copy, which Duran was, who took away the series from their arch this season.
But one man who rejected Villa in 2023 could offer this alternative profile, and he even outweighs Watkins this term.

When you compare Wakins and Duran’s basic metrics this season, you can see the level of clinical finish, air skills and overall goal (90) now missing from the team. Watkins obviously offers a well -rounded profile, creating for others, but currently Villa is needed to convert their created xg into goals.
Wesley is described as “throwback“The striker of the former hero of the villa, Dion Dublin in 2019, which is the correct profile of the attacker who is now missing the villa on the bench, from the loss of Duran.
Although Emery should have enough with the figures of Rashford, Malena and Watkins to turn their position aimed at the middle and surrounding pieces to achieve results, it does not hide that the loss of Duran was a huge loss, and even the impact of lower quality of similar quality of similar quality A similar quality of a similar quality profile, it could be very useful for the side.
