New_Jersey_Villa Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 1 hour ago, Butterfingers said: I think that 4-3-3 away from home is not the best for him, given the standard of our players. I'm not saying it would work but I'd like to have a look at him with Traore and see how they work on the counter. I've been very supportive of Sinclair but time is running out for him. Agreed. Sinclair was pants squared today, had that one decent cross which was the extent of his usefulness. At least Rudy gave Ayew that one decent knockdown. I think "give the ball to Jordan" should be our new philosophy, he's making things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfingers Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 He is the only player who looks like scoring on a regular basis so common sense should tell you that we're more likely to score if he gets the ball. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 7, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 7, 2015 He's really growing into his role. Yet more evidence that players need to be given time rather than be written off after a game or two. Looks our best player at the moment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Really love Ayew. Hard working and technically very good. He needs support though. Often he takes on about 2-3 players and then runs out of ideas because there is no outlet for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Shame we didn't have him last year with Benteke. He's looking a really quality player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those two would be perfect foils for each other. That's why I feel he has to play up top with someone. By himself he isn't physically strong or quick enough, though I might eat my words because he definitely looks quicker since the opening few appearances. He's come on a lot and those nervous beginnings where he didn't want to make a mistake have gone. Eye for goal, good positioning, nice trickery plus he makes runs to free others (when he's not playing up top by himself), seems a smart footballer and someone who might help us get close to avoiding relegation.

That he was the wrong player, playing in the wrong position, is not entirely his fault. Since I'm not a proud man, and you're mentioning people getting it wrong, I got it wrong with him. He's better than '**** hopeless', he's probably actually the second-best player in a very bad side. Keep proving me wrong Jordan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted December 9, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 9, 2015 I knew it all along, , needs to score 10-15 goals a season before we can call him a success but he looks good to me so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't so much about "getting it wrong" persay, but people were saying things like "the worst footballer ever to wear a Villa shirt".

VillaChris Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Another team will easily pick him up in the summer if he scores 10 goals in this league. He's certainly one I'm not expecting to be around next year if the worst happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a lot of new players who are improving each game. The one we need to improve the most though is Adami who really could make a difference. Also losing Amavi was a massive blow. I still can't believe after all the summer signings we didn't improve our defence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see anyone buying him until he gets fit and proves his fitness. If the injury hasn't killed his pace he'll be a great asset until January. Yeah they might all have 5 year deals but as we saw with who we lost in the summer I imagine the release clauses will kick in nicely in the event of relegation.
