Recent U.S. national team debutant and Aston Villa right back Eric Lichaj has had a rollercoaster week, to say the least.
The 22-year-old Chicagoland native earned widespread praise for his performance on Monday, when he gamely bottled up dynamic Tottenham Hotspur winger Gareth Bale. Villa lost, 2-1, but Lichaj was an obvious bright spot in what was just his second English Premier League start.
But when the Villans were on the losing end again Wednesday, this time by a 4-0 count at Manchester City that dropped the club to 5-9-5, manager Gérard Houllier ensured that Lichaj would again be the subject of post-match conversation. He singled out his young defender, saying he had a “nightmare” of a game.
