No coincedence that on saturday we played with 4 International defenders, and looked competant.When Baker played, and i saw him have quite a few good games, he played with inexperienced FBs and sometimes Clark.Too inexperienced. Not his fault, i still think he will be ok long term, needs to play alogside an experienced defender for a season or 2 , probably in a lower league, and he will become a good defender. I've said before, and i will say again, at his age, a better defender than Cahill was at the same age, and hes ok.
-
Well, i hope its true.
-
How old is he? Still go for Lestienne tbh
-
Agree samjp....never been over impressed by Holtby, and Zaha just has the look of a player who will never play in a good side.Techically good, but not a team player. Say it again, i believe Lestienne was linked with a £4m move , thats a bargain, reminds me of Coutinhio.
-
I think Sanchez wiil make a big difference defensively, give more protection to the back 4. Granted we are a better team with Vlaar in, but i would love Hernandez down VP, and with Vlaar being 29, and Hernandez being 25, if the deal is possible, i would go for it tbh
-
Lestienne and Hernandez are exactly the type of players we should be signing.Both have quality, you could argue nearly top quality, both have something to prove, both could, if they prove themselves , be CL players. CB is a draw, we should use him to attract these kind of players.
-
Lestienne permanent signing, and Hernandez either on loan, or as part of a Vlaar deal.
-
To be fair though rodders, a lot of posters on here who have seen GG rated him very highly as a kid. As i said time will tell.Regarding Westwood, squad player for me at best. I think the spine of Guzan, Vlaar, Sanchez, and CB is good.Aly, Delph, Okores makes the basis of a good team, and Hutton looked solid yday, so Hernandez and Lestienne......we're sorted.
-
To be fair to GG Stefan he has been injured, and he was always seen as a real potential, and a better player than his brother.You rate Westwood, i don't, i'm not sure how good or bad GG is going to be, but i think he deserves a chance, i know some on here thought before his injury, that he wa going to be an exceptional player.Time will tell.
-
I thought both FBs overlapped well yday, and you could argue give us better options. If both Hutton and Aly keep playing as well as yday, then a Michu player behind CB would be fantastic.
-
That chance he missed yday summed up Gabby to me. He should havw scored, a good player would have score, but it was his lack of awareness/anticipation that summed him up.A good striker would have made a move and gave himself more space, or opened himself up better.Gabby did neither. For me he is a lazy player, that despite having some great attributes, hasn't worked at his game hard enough and has gone backwards.
-
Hes ok, but if he goes, and we bring in, say Dembele, then that would be a definate improvement. We have too many average players atm, and need to improve the quality. KEA is like Westwood, Herd, GG, average at best, we only need 1 or 2 of them, and better players in front of them, Sanchez and Delph is a reasonable midfield.
-
He was positive yday, but as Bunnski said he doesn't know when to release the ball. Saying that i thought he was our best attacking player yday.
-
This adulation of Westwood is beyond me.When did he ever dictate a game? Hes a young lad, who might turn out to be ok, but a club of Villas stature should have better 1st team players than Westwood, for me hes no better than GG.
-
Westwood, and bring in Cole if he is fit as well.Would probably play Bent at home as well, as i think he would be more alert and sharper than Gabby. Grealish looked very composed.
-
Play him next week, keep the players on their toes.
-
Probably MOM today for me.I really rate the Stoke player he was marking, he tore us apart last year, and yet he did nothing. I'm not convinced about Hutton defensively tbh, but thought he played well today.
-
Worked hard today, but i'm afraid he should have scored at least once, not enough quality. Was it me did they all work harder today?....good to see Keane get involved on the sidelines as well.
-
Guzan Bacuns Vlaar Okores Aly Sanchez Delph NZog Cole Lestienne CB Top 8 with that team
-
I like him tbh, but hes not worth £65k per week. Would be very happy with Sanchez, and if we can get Ki or Dembele, on reasonable wages, and ship out a couple of midfielders, then that would be tremendous.
-
I think thats fair comment poitier. For me the central midfield is a big problem for us, thats Delph and Westwood.But i think Delph is a good player.
-
Not a patch on Delph. Its interesting how people think that Westwood should play further up the pitch, in the Joe Cole role if you like, but has he got the ability to play there? He can't really beat people wityh skill, has no pace, and isn't particularly keen on getting forward, hes no Lampard player.I think PL will play 2 holding midfielders, Delph and Sanchez, a footballing midfielder in front, Joe Cole, and 2 widish attacking players with 1 forward. Its the exaggerated ability of Westwood that annoys me, for me hes no better than KEA, and thats not good enough for AVFC. Agree with all that Isa
-
i Can guarantee that you will be telling me i was right Bunnski. I'd put a smiley thing in there but don't know how to do it.
-
Stoke for one, lost his man for the 1st, wrong position for the 2nd, not marking space for the 3rd...Fulham, gave the ball away, then failed to close the player down, 2 defeats. Apart from scoring against the Albion, i can't think of anything else he did positive.Hes an average passer at best, and i can guarantee that the midfielder we are trying to sign is to replace Westwood. If we get Sanchez/Ki then Westwood won't be in the 1st team. You rate him, thats fine, doesn't mean we all have to.
-
Incredibly overrated player.For me the sooner he is out the team the better.Is incredibly poor defensively, gave so many goals away last year i lost count, has limited passing ability, not one assist last year if i am right apart from set pieces, is weak, slow, and ineffective. Hopefully Ki or Sanchez will play alongside Delph next season, and we buy a better attacking player to play in front of them. Nothing against Westwood personally, but i find it incredible how rated he is by some on here.Lambert might have had a soft spot for him, hopefully Keane can see how limited he is., would prefer GG tbh.
