VillaChris Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Away from home I'd prefer to go with Traore with his pace but think Gil will be a big player for us in home games when teams come to defend, we saw that in his cameo v Sunderland.Hope he can at least make the bench today although looks unlikely given he hasn't trained.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 What injury did he actually sustain? Was it during the game, that knock in the first half he took just before putting Grealish in? Because he carried on looked fine and produced a top drawer finish with this knock. Cant believe he hasnt trained since :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't do too badly away from home last time around,. Personally I think we should start with Grealish, Gil and Traore pretty much in every game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good on paper, but that would give you a 2 man midfield, with the three guys behind the striker all being players who don't track back or are a bit lightweight defensively.

Dr_Pangloss Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Was our best player today IMO, utterly bizarre decision to take him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 19, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2015 He's our best player. I'm still not sure Sherwood realises it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Was our best player today IMO, utterly bizarre decision to take him off. Can only assume there's a slight injury that he's got. He's such a good little player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 must have been a fitness issue.I didnt think he was great today.. he was our best but that doesnt say much. I dont like him outwide.. i think hes too slow out wide.. and why isnt he taking on players anymore? is he being instructed not to? I noticed Grealish rarely does too.. both have the ability but they just cut back in for the fullbacks to cross an afwul ball instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 He needs a striker with intelligence. Someone like Berbatov would not have gone amiss to make the most of this Spanish Wizard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 He was very good today. But bacuna in the 10 mins he had created a better chance than anything Gill did all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I'm ok with him coming off, but not if Bacuna is the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I'm ok with him coming off, but not if Bacuna is the answer.But I don't think generally Bacuna is "the answer". If Traore was fit, he'd have come on.If Gil needed to come off, Bacuna on was probably "the right" substitution in those circumstances. To be honest, Sherwood's substitutions today were ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Class player, no complaints with the sub as he hasn't trained all week. Worried about the kicking he'll take from their cloggers on tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gharperr Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) yeh dont think the boo's for taking him off was justified and pretty unfair iyam. He was our best player today but it was very clear he has been injured this week and theres a very high chance the sub was related to that Edited September 19, 2015 by gharperr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, Sherwood's substitutions today were ok.Gestede and Ayew weren't the answer the other day, nor Bacuna today. We could have brought Veretout on (known for assists and passing ability), pushed him on, have Westwood and Sanchez in behind him, then Grealish buzzing in behind Gestede and Gabby.

Farlz Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 He's so far ahead of everyone else in terms of ability its ridiculous, only one today who gets some credit from me. Proper class player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
