While not perfect he could do a job at a higher level than this. Would be surprised if no PL-team came in for him. Possibly the African cup of nations can work in our favor as he will miss a large part of Jan-Feb if he's called up. I Just hope whatever money we get should he be sold will be invested in the midfield. I disagree, think he enjoys it here. Did you see his passion when he scored the other day?

Dr_Pangloss Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 He has played well but I expect a lot more in terms of output, especially in the goals department. Hopefully he becomes more efficient in front of goal when we get a proper manager in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I like his commitment on the park,has been having a bit of bad luck in front of goal recently hopefully that will change very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I actually genuinely look fwd to the international breaks now for precisely that reason, that I don't have to put up with Villa for a couple of weeks. It helps as well that Wales are a decent team again too of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what he means to be fair, however he must have forgotten that RDM is gone and we would be more likely to field a balanced side. However, at least we now have a plethora of attacking options/backup. If only we could say the same about midfield/defence we woild be laughing.

Bomvilla7 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 What's the extent of his injury? Will he make the Wolves game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 The move no one dared make: not fielding the Grimace. Would like to see 4-4-2 with McCormac with with Kodjia or Gestede up top. Not sure we have 4 midfielders at the club though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I watched Ghana Uganda as they're showing the African world cup qualifiers on 365 now. Poor game so forgive me if I can't recall minute to minute. Ayew was in and out as usual...there was a player stretched off but don't think it was him so must be a muscle injury as I didn't see him go off. I've said many times our team is unbalanced. Obvious selection is to take Grealish but then can Ayew and McCormack operate in the same 11, maybe if you play a 4-3-1-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Yeah I did suggest that on another thread as an option, similar to what Sherwood did when he first came in. The balance just isn't there, we need to play 3 in central midfield to get the best out of Jedinak for a start who should be a key player at this level but has been dreadful so far. And upfront aswell...it's alright playing 4 strikers at Preston but it got us nowhere. I look at Newcastle...lots of strikers and attacking players but Rafa is content to play Gayle as a lone striker with Ritchie and Diame supporting and making sure the midfield is stocked. We need to do similar and then the results should come. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Seeing as he's a left winger, he should play on the left wing. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
