Dante_Lockhart Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Start him next game. 4-4-2, wingers, 2 up top. Do we have another winger on our books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 He made ALOT of bad decisions for me, I don't get the hype just yet. I understand it was his first game etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted March 14, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 14, 2016 If he made good decisions he would be on a completely different waveleght to the rest of the team. Give kid some credit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villanun Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 He did alright - it's just a shame that by the time he came on the rest of the team had decided to stop trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bringbackbigron Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I'm not going to judge a young lad on 1 game. I'm all for bringing in the youngsters now and giving them some experience we might need next year. To be honest I though Benteke was useless after his first performance.

BOF Posted March 14, 2016 Moderator Share Posted March 14, 2016 Pfff. Yet another debutant who isn't the finished article. I say sell him to Preston for fiddy grand. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Villa Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 The only people who made bad decisions yesterday were the 25000 Villa fans that turned out. And I respect every last one of you. But you're mental. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 He looked like he was bothered so that was a massive plus for me. He's a little glimpse of sunshine in the current deep gloom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itdoesntmatterwhatthissay Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Didn't look like he understood how to change the game and was stationary expecting a pass for a lot of his time on the pitch, but heck, it was his first start and did just as well as the rest of the team. Clearly grew in confidence as he was having more touches when the ball was at his feet but probably learnt that he cannot expect to make a pass, he has to make a pass! Great learning experience, just what he needs (to realise he's nowhere near good enough) and hopefully he got back into training today working harder than ever. Glad to see him come on before Sinclair too, because he is absolute turd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwj Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Ran into players, lost the ball etc. when better options were available. Although that could be said for most of them. Wow that's unbelievably harsh. I counted twice that he was double marked and still pushed the ball and whipped a cross in (one from the left and one from the right), and he tracked his marker (Rose) when needed, both of which are more than Gil managed to do during the game. Not saying it was amazing but I'd be pretty happy with that debut as a 17yr old. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 I thought he was excellent yesterday, a shining ray of light, I sat with his family tonight at the Arsenal u21 game along with his girlfriend. It was a pleasure, I didn't stop laughing the whole game, he was again outstanding and looks to be outgrowing u21 football. He has some great assets, terrific pace and ball control but also has a great football brain, he has so much potential but at the age of 17, that's all it is, potential. He can go either way but at the moment but at the moment, I'd say the signs are looking very promising for him! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the first time I had seen Keinan Davis and I was very impressed. He's very quick and strong and also has a trick or 2. Niall Mason was again very solid at the back, he really is a superb defender, he reads the game very well, he's great in the air and a good tackler. His partner at CB was Easah Suliman, he's very composed and elegant, he's a very good defender indeed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the way most go we might as well get it out the way and save ourselves a few quid and a lot of disappointment. Seriously tho, although individuals should be judged individually, I've lost count of the times people post similar in response to people writing a player off just (just because it's early days). Yet 8/10, it's the right call at villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Suliman should get a chance before end of the season surely aswell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 I thought he acquitted himself very well again yesterday, for a 17 year old he shows no fear, can't wait to see how he develops, the signs are very promising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
