thunderball Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Looked good last night. I'm dreaming of seeing Grealish, Gil, and Traore behind Ayew at some point with them all interchanging! Sinclair, Gabby and Gestede as impact subs! I think that is too weak, and would be a recipe for a beating. You have to think of the midfield.It works for Arsenal?

thunderball Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Well, whilst not exactly comparable, they are a team who do have "lighter weight", technical, creatives across their midfield and don't have a 20+ goal forward. You wouldn't think it would work but it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing Gil centrally will also help if he can get fit enough to run things in there. Ayew makes runs all day long something we lack badly from our other strikers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't think it would work but it does.But success is relative. Given the aspirations of a club like Arsenal, many would argue that a couple of cups in the last decade show that Arsenals approach is far from " working" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 He looked quality last night. His dribbling was superb and his passion as well. Really got the crowd up when he lost the ball and chased back to put in a tackle to get it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are only a few players short of a PL challenging side, their system and balance works. Edited September 24, 2015 by thunderball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 that was his best performance in a Villa shirt, once Adama is back Tim will have a real tough one picking the attacking line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Why did we sign this guyYou have to question the manager after the performance he had midweek and he can't even get on the pitchEspecially when Sinclair can considering how wank he was against Blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Massive confidence boost for the lad. We will bring you on at 2-0 up mate but **** are we bringing you on to nick something. Brilliant management. Brilliant. Just what every striker wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 What a way to ruin that confidence and momentum he had from Tuesday. Nice one, Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Got to feel for this guy sat on the bench probably chomping at the bit to get on and sherwood leaves him there and lets Sinclair see out the full game, not like we needed fresh legs in attack or a player who could take on a player and make something happen is it Tim? Terrible man management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnStortford Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Let's be honest, Tim is a horrible player manager. He lost the spurs dressing room within a few months and its not hard to see why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) Aside from 45 mins against a Championship side that lost to Rotherham today then Ayew has looked way off the pace for us and looks like it will take him some time to adjust to the Prem. I am confident he will be a decent player for us in time but for now, like the manager,I personally wouldn't have been starting him away from home against the likes of Liverpool.

Isa Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I still don't even expect much from this player but he did warrant the opportunity to build on his display against Small Heath. The thing is that he was the most expensive signing of the window yet the manager doesn't even feel he is worth bringing on when chasing the game and compounded by Sinclair (who has contributed the square root of naff all since Sunderland) getting the full ninety minutes, again. Bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 To give Sinclair who at best can be called anonymous of late 90 minutes instead of this guy who really took his chance last time out is sad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
