StefanAVFC Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I'd hand in a transfer request out of embarrassment and shame if I was stuck on the bench and tat like Richardson was playing 90 mins. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 One of the biggest lows for a professional footballer is being kept out of the team by Kieran Richardson For a 21 year old guy with 64 senior appearances to his name I doubt it is much of a blow for Amavi and I am sure he will get over it. Assuming he watched the games whilst warming his arse on the bench and is honest with himself then I am sure he will acknowledge that the much more experienced player that replaced him did well against Chelsea and did no worse today than he himself had done in his last half a dozen games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against Chelsea Richardson gave the ball away needlessly and almost conceded a penalty. Today he cost us the game and contributed towards nothing going forward. Amavi has made 1 or 2 mistakes but at least he has contributed in almost every game going forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amavi has made 1 or 2 mistakes but at least he has contributed in almost every game going forward No sorry is needed brother we are all Aston Villa fans on here, all hurting and I have zero problem with someone disagreeing with me. I think all the lads are doing their best be it Amavi or Richardson. For me I think Amavi has looked very good going forward but suspect and off the pace defensively and I think as we are struggling badly it is not a bad decision by the manager to take an inexperienced young lad still settling out of the firing line and try to protect him a little.I have preached on here since the start of the season that we have a decent squad just requiring time to settle and perhaps a new manager. I think I was wrong though as I don't think a change in manager or time will cure our problems and that by the time players like Amavi, Veretout, Traore, Ayew etc settle and give a consistantly high level of performance, assuming they ever get to that level, then it will be too late regardless of who is manager.

Wainy316 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Loud boos when he was brought off yesterday to which he immediately clapped. Glad he realised we booed the decision to sub him rather than boo him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 One of the best players at the club. Which is why he is dropped regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gharperr Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) So how many goals is he at fault for now? (or played a big role in ) Edited October 29, 2015 by gharperr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 One of the best players at the club. Which is why he is dropped regularly. He has massive potential and has shown how good he can be at times but while he keeps making costly mistakes he won't be able to hold down a regular starting spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Seems to bottle out of tackles a bit too much for my liking - hopefully a new manager coming in will change that part of his game.Has bundles of talent going forward though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Enjoyed watching him in the left mid position last night. Thought he offered really good width and shouldn't have been subbed tbh. We suffered after that becoming narrow again and allowing Southampton to press us and close the spaces easier. Poor decision as I thought the formation wasn't the issue.

VillanousOne Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 time is on his side, plus he clearly has talent, but being French and worth 9mil doesn't hide the fact he's as much of defensive liability as Bennettbut hey Bale was utter pony when he first joined Spurs and I think there's a chance he might get better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 He's not too bad defensively, just loses concentration at times and takes too many risks when in possession.Joe Bennett dosen't have a clue what to do when one on one with a winger, I still shudder at his Bradford performances when Hines or someone ripped him to shreds. There is a difference.Amavi will go on to be an excellent player in the future, probably back in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Amavi is very good defensively, it shows in the amount of tackles and interceptions he makes, the only problem is when he does make an error it's colossal. A bit like Sanchez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Looks shot to bits defensively. When you look at our record with fullbacks ( admittedly not great ones to begin with) you have to look at the quality of coaching the last 5 years.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
