Boubacar Kamara

Kamara regularly features in either a 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3 or five at the back where he has played in both the midfield and the defensive line. Another aspect of his game that could help Villa massively in terms of their defensive capabilities is his tendency to slot into the back line whilst his team are defending. Kamara displays the same composure and confidence in the final third that we see so frequently ahead of the defence. Another trait that has been hugely missed in this Villa side in the absence of Marvelous Nakamba is a player ahead of the back four that is naturally defensively inclined. Whilst the signing of Kamara won't solve every problem that led to defeats against Tottenham Hotpsur, West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers, it will go a long way in possibly allowing Villa to become the team Gerrard envisaged when he arrived at Villa Park. Naturally in possession Kamara is always several phases ahead of the game.
