RoyalVilla Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 For me this guy is more about his potential, so I'm not pinning any major hopes on him too soon. He has good attributes, so I'm hoping he will make it and hopefully we'll see positive development over the season and I echo the comments about being patient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I thought he was shocked by the pace of the game, early doors he came into midfield and won the ball back but was quickly getting tired from doing it and then faded to the point he was anonymous. Needs time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably one of the reasons Sherwood was/is looking at Adebayor for a season. Take the pressure off Ayew and let him develop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 He was probably the biggest disappointment today. I'm sure there is a decent player there but this one is going to take time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno_2004 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Think he will take some time to settle - he was never meant to be a direct replacement for Benteke so I think that buys him plenty of time. Will be hoping to see more of his potential albeit in isolated incidents going forward though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 We as Villa supporters have enough evidence to support my claim that he will get time with us. We have seen strikers given an abundance of slack from us over the years....He has come to the right club for patience. He will be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 He seems more like an (old fashioned term) Inside Forward to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimcohen Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Better debut than Cech, and its not like Cech didn't know the pace, style of the league. One game in, he will get better. We cant expect them all to be brilliant in game one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 not sure if he should start against united, if he struggled against bournmouth he is going to find it very tough vs united Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 not sure if he should start against united, if he struggled against bournmouth he is going to find it very tough vs united Why? Bournemouth were always going to press us, United will allow some of the players more freedom as the onus will be on us to attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I think Rudy has to play in this game and one of our forward players has to make way. I think Gabby has to play in my view as he is more experienced and does cause united problems. Ayew will be better utilised as a sub in this game i think 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Like to see him play up top with Rudy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khizzy Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 At least it's good that Sherwood has a selection headache on his hands - something that the previous few managers haven't really had. Gil and Grealish may have to wait for their opportunities to get back into the team once they are fit again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 He didnt play that well but he seemed to get better as the game went on. Will be better with a striker who holds up the ball.All 3 of our forwards that started didnvery poorly in that regard. Gota give the kid 10 games or so to get used to Prem League for an example Evra at united from the French league was shocking to start with , he joined in Jan but wasnt until the following season he fully adjusted.

omariqy Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 He was involved in our best bit of play for Gueye's chance. Came deep and then was the one playing the ball through for Gabby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 He was involved in our best bit of play for Gueye's chance. Came deep and then was the one playing the ball through for Gabby. This. He's surprisingly good technically, it's up to Tim to make that translate into good performances which I'm sure in time he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 This. He's surprisingly good technically, I was actually shocked (/relieved) to see a Villa attacker with such a good first touch. I was just so used to seeing Andy Weimann and his 50p feet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Taken from the United pre match day thread: Without a shadow of a doubt, Ayew was the least effective presser in Aston Villa. Although there were many examples, I’m only giving you one sequence here for time’s sake. In this action, you can see Ayew (number 19, in the centre circle) approaching Gosling near the centre of the pitch; however, he seems to think “ummm… I shouldn’t really be here”, and jogs back to the right side, towards Daniels. He then just sort of stands there 3 meters away from him, without any sense of urgency whatsoever. He then gets a second chance to press the man on the ball, but again just stands there watching the player pass him by. This could definitely be something that Young and Shaw could take advantage of. Ayew does have the protection of Bacuna behind him, but even against Bournemouth at times they looked weak on the right side of defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
