TheMelvillan Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Or as David Pleat always used to call him, 'Chumbumba'. Though to be fair he always got back up again when he got knocked down 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heid3ster Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 This is going to be unpopular, but it's become very apparent to me in the last few games that Amavi can't last beyond the 75th minute or so. He is a brilliant talent who will continue to get better, and I am not scapegoating him, but he needs to be subbed late in the game. He gets tired and he makes stupid, stupid decisions that cost us.

a m ole Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 The two 'fouls' in the corner were appalling decisions though, to give a yellow and then even a foul for the second were plain wrong. It's little things like that, that tip a game over the edge after Leicester were given a huge advantage by Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Hot headed and rash. He was diving in all over the place and it was pure impetuousness. Seemed to give the ball away a fair bit too but at least he was trying to do something and hadn't given up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieVillan Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Looks very good going forward, and 90% of the time comfortable defensively when he has some cover and support. When he's isolated 1-on-1, he looks weak, dare I say it as weak as Bacuna.However, I think the coaching staff are aware of this and they try to get him the cover he needs - first half he had it from Sanchez and Westwood, second half it was a non-existant and he had problems.I said this last week against Sunderland - if we are going to embrace his attacking skills, we are going to have to accept his weaknesses defensively, and the fact he often loses the ball in places he shouldn't by trying to take players on.He's young, so hopefully he will learn. I wouldn't say he was any better than Bacuna today though, however unfashionable it may be to think that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 He is a very good player and Mahrez got no joy until he moved more centrally. Harshly treated by the ref for his booking and foul straight after nice link up play with Jack and Gil as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Leandro Bacuna (24) and Jordan Amavi (23) lost possession of the ball more than Grealish (20) on the Villa side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 You mean our wing backs (likely to be clearing the ball into anonymity) lost the ball more than Grealish? OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Was good first half, stood up well in one on ones with Mahrez who's one of the most in form wide players in the league right now.Need far more help in the second half, infact bringing Richardson on and moving him to LB wouldn't have been the worst decision.

Harshly treated by the ref for his booking and foul straight after nice link up play with Jack and Gil as wellI think you've got rose tinted specs on mate. They were both fouls, and a yellow card was fair. If he had got a second yellow, I would have agreed with you.I would also say that Mahrez moved more central, but still came up against Amavi quite a bit in the second and did him a few times, but then Mahrez looks a bit special to be honest.

Mantis Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 You mean our wing backs (likely to be clearing the ball into anonymity) lost the ball more than Grealish? OK.Exactly, and even that is still better than **** around with it a la Lescott and Bacuna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taktical Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 He's almost too quick. Defensively he needs to slow things down, stay composed, not dive in too much. He's young, still learning but there's enough talent to suggest he can be a formidable player in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 He was brilliant first half and just had a bad last 20 minutes. Didn't help that he was left isolated with no support. Not sure what our team was doing. We lost all shape and fitness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 He was brilliant first half and just had a bad last 20 minutes. Didn't help that he was left isolated with no support. Not sure what our team was doing. We lost all shape and fitness.Both him and Bacuna got doubled up on with little support.TBH if you turned the game on at 70 mins you would think we had been reduced to 10 men the amount of space they had all over the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
