Many Aston Villa fans have been left slamming the display of Emi Buendia in their game at home to Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League.

The summer signing from Norwich City did not have the best game by his standards, and was subsequently subbed off for Ashley Young in the 74 minute when the score was still 0-0.

Buendia lost out on five of his duels, and also failed to record a single shot on target, dribble or key pass, as he was also unsuccessful with all of his attempted crosses and long balls (SofaScore).

The Argentine also lost possession of the ball on no fewer than on 11 different occasions in the match, in what summed up a frustrating afternoon for him personally, despite the 2-0 win in the end.

"Buendia is way too lightweight for this league. The pretty flicks and tricks are lovely.... when they work, the hard yards are needed and the basics and he’s left wanting."
