For sure, we are only a month into the new season, and Downing has only played a handful of games for Liverpool so he could very well suffer a dip in form, but what has been a hall mark of Downing’s play in the last year or so has been consistency; something Stewart is keen to continue with:
“Last season was my most consistent by far and I just want that to continue. I think that happens as you get older. It’s a big season for me personally and for the club. I want to play well on a regular basis.”
Again last night against Wales, he showed how he has developed his game. Playing on the right, he used his weaker right foot to set up Ashley Young for the only goal of the game. Technical skill, gifted performance, and a turn a pace (which has surprised some fans), has contributed to a great start for the 27 year old, let’s now see his great initial form turn into a long successful career at the club.

He’s always been a good player with a bit of pace and trickery. I guess most people just felt there are more exciting (yeah exciting) younger players who would cost less or around the same price.
He was played on the right deliberately by villa so as to confuse the full back just as england are now doing. Good player but bit thick by all accounts
needs to be abit more tricky like ashley young,then ill consider him a good buy,because at the moment there’s only suarez who really takes on players
I was on loads of scouse websites telling you mugs how he was easily worth the money, when he was being slated as “not worth it” but you weren’t having any of it.
I can’t stand the duplicitous t**t as a bloke, after what he said about owing the Villa, but you’ve definitely got a good player in Downing.
If he keeps up the consistency (which he will, look at who he was playing with at Boro), he’ll probably be your player of the year too.
Good luck for the season Scousereds, but not too much eh?
another typical article
No credit given whatsoever to the role Villa played in his development into someone your so called ‘messiah’ felt the need to fork out £20 million for.
By the way, Villa also did a hell of a lot for the development of Cahill, Barry, Milner and believe it or not Ashley Young (not Man U) so its about time the media and fans of the clubs where
these guys play started to acknowledge us rather than being so blinkered, there are more than 5 teams in the Prem, clubs without ridiculous benefactors, who are competitive and produce good players who you lot keep creaming off. Would like that to be acknowledged
these guys now play started
Sorry
Last line is mistake, please ignore
He is everything that is bad in football today,no loyalty, and two faced. Aston Villa signed him whilst he was injured,they got him him into the england squad,he stated he owed Villa for their commitment to him,and weeks later after having his head turned wanted out,yes a dispicable man,and glad to see him out of Villa park.
i would have prefered juan mata 2 downing. he has no tricky ability. anyway lets pray 4 de best. ynwa!
