AJ 1,218 Posted April 28, 2019 He was limping around after the game, knee strapped up. Not sure if I've missed anything, but was anything said after the game? Really need him available for Villa! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really need him available for Villa! There was talk of him needing ice on his knees - apparently he was pretty battle-scarred - the Blackburn cloggers were up to their usual tricks.

lake district canary 4,531 Posted April 29, 2019 Buendia is always going get clogged because he is so quick that he always gets something between the ball and the opponent causing mistimed challenges and fouls - he literally puts his body on the line to make sure we get the ball back. An absolute star. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,634 Posted April 29, 2019 That’s one of the good things about the PL - decent players aren’t kicked about quite so much as in the Champs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) He is a very unusual player for his type, you tend to associate these skilful little flair players to only spring into life when the ball appears near their feet, but Buendía is very much the exception to the rule. What an unbelievable grafter! Edited April 29, 2019 by Alex Moss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,844 Posted April 29, 2019 On the Sky coverage of the Blackburn match, a caption popped up showing Buendía's performance in various categories. Apparently he ranks 1st in tackles made for Norwich this season – quite some achievement for a supposed 'flair' attacking player. Messi doesn't get stuck in like that... just sayin' 😉 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buendia, when I heard that stat, had made something like 86 tackles and the closest to him had made something like 58. Quite amazing really. What a special little player he is! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted April 29, 2019 I loved that goal against Swansea where he tackles their player on the edge of their box 🙂 He also clearly loves playing , would hate to be left out on Sunday !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Smith 2,314 Posted April 29, 2019 He's a little warrior. Love the fact that as well as all that ability he works so hard and gets stuck in. Great player. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
