If Veretout performs like that in 2/3 years time then I imagine he'll get more stick for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Stan was poor for a lot of his first season but picked up towards the end. It was same the following year. He started putting in consistant week after week performances in 08/09 which won him POTY and I thought he was very good the following season that meant we barely missed Barry. He scored a lot of goals in Scotland so a lot of Villa fans were expecting a good AM player hence the criticism but he became an excellent DM instead. I'd be amazed if Veretout comes anywhere near. He'd be too lightweight for the championship imo so I'd flog him back to France and get some money in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted November 29, 2015 Moderator Share Posted November 29, 2015 I thought he looked good, particularly in the first half, he's bright, lively and good with the ball for me he's our best central midfielder at the moment. Also, an overweight Westwood? Did Westwood lose three stone? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westwood is 3 years older and has played around 90 more premier league games than Veretout and I think he's shown he's better than him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted November 29, 2015 Moderator Share Posted November 29, 2015 Sanchez is 88 minutes of good and four diabolical passes. Veretout and Ayew in the first half played some very nice stuff, we looked like a football team. It's a pity that on a day when it might have been possible to see a lot of positives, the defeat and the daft mistakes left us so flat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look through the early pages of his thread. Petrov was a marmite player, you either rated him or not until his illness then he became a legend. Yes he was. He was never as bad as veretout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was shockingly bad and ineffectual at times in his first season and couldn't last more than 60 mins. He also had some cracking moments. Took him time to adapt.

Zatman Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Petrov was rubbish for most of his 1st 2 seasons and was even outperformed by Reo Coker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think either of them should be starting for us at the moment. Westwood has been poor this season and Veretout hasn't shown himself to be any better so far. I'd rather try Gil centrally.

thabucks Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Quote Glad to see he is being given another run out rather than being benched as I'm my view it's the only way he will adjust (or not) to the league and build confidence. Only after an extended run of games can a measured judgement of his ability be made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Did lots of good things, did lots of shit things, just can't seem to get real consistency. Again, showed that he has talent, but really needs to put it all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted December 5, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 5, 2015 His best game so far today. At times he seemed to take control, which he hasn't done before. He needs more confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
