Exactly. He immediately seeks out our own centre back when he gets the ball despite being in acres. If it's the lesser of two evils I'd take tshibola for this fraud any day of the week. I'll get shot down for that but jesus hourihane is chronic.
Isn't remotely close to a top 2 squad though whether it's Smith or Bruce in charge. Our midfield is absolute crap apart from McGinn. I'd send bolasie back to Everton Monday morning. He's here for a bit of fun. Clearly. More interested in posting on Instagram and Twitter. The injuries to tuanzebe and grealish can't be overstated. Two of the best natural ballers in our squad who started to play very well under Smith.
Would that be the same 50 yard ball jedinak was done for by Donaldson last season at villa park when he played in defence ? He isn't the answer. It's like when bjarnason plays crap people say " should of played Whelan " who is equally as crap. What can ya do.
Signs were there. Forest game was absolutely weird, and despite being a big critic of Bruce, never seen that under him. Birmingham game too. Could of being anything.
He could ( and possibly is already ) could get engulfed by the sheer/size and scale of the job he is in now as opposed to his previous one. Not good enough .
I understand that but it's not like transfer windows of the 90s and before where you can do business all year round. Yes, the Kalinic signing is promising i agree. Need strengthening in many areas though.
I just worry with lansbury that it's one good game then niggling injury, then back, out again for a good while. Has he even had say 6-7 games consecutively in a villa shirt ? Didn't seem to be the case when he was at forest.
