Classy Coutinho, Sanson struggling - Every Aston Villa player rated for the season so far
Aston Villa's 2021/2022 campaign has been a little mixed to say the least. Steven Gerrard replaced Dean Smith in the November and, since then, the current boss has won eight, drew two and lost nine of his 19 matches in charge.

The Argentinian remains a firm fan favourite at Villa Park. He's been a revelation since his £20million transfer from Arsenal in 2020. Martinez has missed just one Premier League game at Chelsea after being forced to quarantine following international duty. Manchester United away was a standout game for him, as was Brighton at home when he made two crucial saves before Villa went on to win. The South American should chalk up double figures for clean sheets once again. Another solid season.
The only member of the squad to start all 29 Premier League games. Cash has really kicked on since the turn of the year and has become a real threat in Villa's attacking third. Three goals and three assists from right-back this season and a series of strong performances to boot. Right up there for player of the year, it has to be said.
A couple of red cards for Konsa this season points to a bit of a frustrating campaign. The centre-back, like most, has failed to hit the heights he produced last term. His two-goal showing against Leicester was a standout for him, as was defensive displays against Man United and Everton. Konsa's probably took a step back this season - evident as Palace defender Marc Guehi was promoted
