Stevo985 Posted January 23, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2016 Almost certainly a rest. Looked lively when he came on though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Changed the dynamic when he came on. Rest him again against Man City and play him every game from now on if fit. He and Gil had a nice understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Has to play everytime, we really missed his general play and seriously missed his delivery into the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 only listened on radio, but sounded like he put the ball right on Richard's head for what should have been a certain goal within 2 minutes of coming on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 23, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2016 Just now, andym said: only listened on radio, but sounded like he put the ball right on Richard's head for what should have been a certain goal within 2 minutes of coming on Certain goal is a bit harsh on RIchards. But it was a good chance and Richards should have hit the target at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dounavilla Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Was excellent when he came on and made a difference. He would be the first midfielder name on the team sheet Imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Played ten minutes, created two chances. We can't afford to not play him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 If Jordan Veretout was English, he'd have been written off by us all now. Has been as bad as Westwood this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, first season in a new country and in a struggling team, you have to be truly exceptional to look good in those circumstances. I like him, I think he is and will turn out to be a good buy.

Dr_Pangloss Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I like Veretout, and I think he would have benefited more coming into a team that had someone like Fabian Delph in. He's good technically and he does try to orchestrate things on the pitch (although language barrier impinges on this somewhat). However, he's had a lot of indifferent/poor performances for us. I think given circumstances, the money spent on him could have, and should have been used better. Not great value for money at all, and given we will be in the championship next season, it strikes me that he will not be sticking around. He will probably be sold for less than what we paid for him, and we'd have accrued absolutely no benefit from his performances/development. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the problem , you buy Veretout or Gana to go alongside an experienced midfielder.Even if you buy both you take time to acclimatize them .Not us no we buy 2 youngish mifielders with no experience of the prem league and just let them get on with it Veretout alongside Gana , Traore , Ayew and even loaning Ilori was all based on potential the committee criminally overlooked the here and now and left us where we are today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Agree with the posts above. I like Veretout, I like all the French lads, but its fair to say that given our situation the money could have been better spent elsewhere. Right players, wrong time.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 He was fantastic for the first 15 minutes, running the show. Then the thing happened and that was that. Hardly saw the ball again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Seen enough of him to suggest that there is a player in there and very much hope we keep him longer than one season. Depends on offers of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Watching the old youtube I thought he would be a lot more mobile than he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deamie Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Great assist for Gabby's goal and did well cutting in from the left to play in Bacuna which should have been another assist but for Bacuna wasting it by shooting over with the keeper just to beat. Veretout has bags of energy and is vital in our midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Thought he had a really good second half today, was terrible in the first half though. Definitely the most penetrative passer in the side, also played a couple of sublime balls that split the Norwich defence apart and made a couple of vital challenges when needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
