He looked great in the last game, but his problem has neve rbeen ability, it's been consistency. If he can add consistency then he'll be great player. But up until now he's been a 9/10 in one game followed by a 3/10 in the next. I understand what you mean, but in some cases he has been criticised unfairly imo all players at our level have consistency problems, it can come from playing in a team that is inconsistent in terms of good results.....I don't recall him having any 3/10's in any games....I would be more inclined to say 5/10 -8/10 in his performances. it is interesting how he does so well playing against top talent when playing for Columbia. ......but hey, it's your call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have implied that he is great in every game that is not what I meant and he has made mistakes, no doubt. some players are not really good but are playing well, some players are good, but not really playing well and as you mentioned down to consistency. i have felt for some time that Sanchez is a good player who at times gets played in to trouble.....he is not blameless and he can be the architect of his own problems, but I have seen him overrun and he gets the blame unfairly IMO. DM's are a different breed to creative midfielders and need to be appraised as such. i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 He got booked v Chile, think he was already carrying a yellow from last game so think he might be suspended for Argentina game so if that's the case he'll be released early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM's are a different breed to creative midfielders and need to be appraised as such. i Remember Arsenal away last season? Probably one of the worst performances I've ever seen from a midfielder. 3/10 is generous for that. I think we pretty much agree with each other though. I do think he's a good player too, I was just uncomfortable with the implication that it's not his fault and it's been everyone else who's let him down. He's certainly been to blame plenty of times, but hopefully with a real manager in charge as oppose to the last imposter he can add consistency to his game.

Tomaszk Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Agreed, since he's been here, he's generally put in either 2/10 or 8/10 performances. Hopefully Remi can sort him out and get some more consistency into his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) He looks best in a midfield 3 in a ball winner pivot role Glad we have a manager now who realizes this Edited November 18, 2015 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexbelowsound Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I'd suggest it's probably rotational. Wasn't he in South America over the break? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Yeah he got back Thursday. Probably fatigued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Just checked. Played against Chile the 13th November. Didn't feature against Argentina, suspended or a knock? Plus a long travel so maybe not ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas_Mike Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 If anybody didn't realise it before then please look at that first half. Without this guy protecting are defence we will lose every game. Thank god the internationals are over with..... the next poster to say he is not good for us needs to be taken away and sedated... IMO!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 He was the only midfielder who didn't let them just run straight past him. Got on the ball too, needs to be starting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 He's been consistently good for us this season. The Jekyll and Hyde stuff hasn't been seen since last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jekyll and Hyde stuff hasn't been seen since last season. He hasn't though, he's been terrible in some games. Giving the ball away, getting caught in possession, fatigued after 60mins. He's up and down like a rollercoaster and you never know what you are going to get from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 He needs movement and confidence from players around him to allow him to play the ball. He gave some hideous hospitals in the Everton game, but in his defence, there often wasn't many great options for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes to long to pass and when he does he gives it away far, far too often. Not sure who's passing was worse, his or Nigel Reo-Cokers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Well you have to cut those 'hideous hospitals' out of your game For me his job is to sit in front of the defence, hustle, win the ball and move it to the nearest Villa shirt with minimal risk and it's a role desperately required in our team at the moment.

That's akin to putting Sanchez there now! MON was as mental as Sherwood in some respects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
