Aston Villa fans have been reacting on Twitter over recently emerged footage of on-loan man Callum O’Hare in action for current club Coventry City.
This comes after Villa fan Twitter account @Total_Villa shared a post on their page that included a video clip originally shared by @Jimi_Dyer of O’Hare involved in one of Coventry’s goals in their 2-2 draw against Birmingham City in the FA Cup.
O’Hare’s side ultimately lost the tie on penalties, but his action in the build-up to their second goal caught the attention of numerous Villa fans who were impressed with what they saw from their on-loan man.
Should Callum O'Hare be in this current Villa squad?
Yes, he's ready
No, not yet
Here’s a sample of Villa fans reacting to the footage of O’Hare:
Some excellent link up play here from Callum O’Hare! The way he plays is just like watching a young Jack Grealish! ?

he’s only 2 years younger than jack tho… i wish he’d been loaned out earlier than he has been

The 21-year-old joined Coventry on a season-long loan deal in the previous summer transfer window. At this point of the season, O’Hare has made 31 appearances for the League One side scoring three and assisting five (per Transfermarkt).
This season has seen O’Hare pick up a season rating of 6.59 according to WhoScored. Despite this poor record, these Villa fans were impressed with the midfielder’s pass and move transition to end up assisting one of Coventry’s goals in their FA Cup match.
We’re going to do the classic Villa of letting him walk for nothing at the end of the season though. He’s the new Marc Albrighton…

Why doesn’t he start more? He’s 21

But only a substitute?

What do we think?
Despite having a poor record so far this season, this recent footage shows just what O’Hare is capable of, and it is great to see the Villa fans recognising his talent and ability.
