Villa News Speaking to Dan Bardell

Dan Bardell believes Boubacar Kamara is “crucial” to Aston Villa after an all-action performance against Juventus.
The Villans missed out on a fourth Champions League win of the campaign as Villa Park was left fuming as a late Morgan Rogers strike was ruled out controversially.
Despite this, there was still plenty to be positive about for Unai Emery’s side, with the returning Frenchman arguably being the headline act.
Sky Sports and talkSPORT journalist Bardell was delighted with the midfielder’s performance after spending so long on the sidelines.
Speaking exclusively to Villa News, Bardell said: “I think what impressed me the most is that he looks fit and durable – he’s not struggling for match fitness.
“He offers that tactical flexibility in terms of build-up play in terms of the way Villa defend and attack. They looked more resolute with him in the side, that is for sure.

“Kamara has been a big miss across the calendar year and we looked more like the Villa of old against Juventus with him.
“*He fights fires before they can spread; he gets to things early and that is crucial. I think he’s the only Villa midfielder who does those things.*“
Boubacar Kamara shines for Aston Villa v Juventus
The 25-year-old was back like he never left against the Old Lady as he roamed across the midfield and contributed going forward and back.
This vastly improved the Villa midfield after they were run through with no opposition in the frustrating draw against Crystal Palace.

Kamara has so much quality to add to Unai Emery’s side and now that he appears to be fit and ready for action, he may prove to be nearly irreplaceable in the starting XI.
