VillanousOne Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Am i the only one who thinks the power of his passes look really dodgy a lot of the time? Someting just looks off with them.took him a while to get into the game but in the second half his passes looked a decent ting 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benireduk Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Good performance from him tonight. Looks a lot fitter now and nearly got a goal.Think him and Gueye could be our first choice midfield pairing in the next few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I didn't really notice him, but I'm glad he got some minutes under his belt as I think he could come really good for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Started iffy.....Was growing in to the game....Needs first team games.....but those choices need to be managed carefully as it doesn't cost us points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icouldtelltheworld Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Grew into the game second half but still looked shaky and gave the ball away a lot. I'd say he's still struggling with the pace and physicality of English football, there was one particular moment in the second half comes to mind where he lost the ball in a bad position by being too ponderous.Looks talented and I'm sure he will grow into a very good player for us, but I wouldn't be rushing to start him in PL games just yet.

mikeyp102 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 First half he seemed to hide away from the ball and didn't impact the game much. Second half he wanted the ball more and as a result he started to influence the game more. Couple of really good weighted passes down the flanks and a good defensive reading of the game.

Robbie09 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Thought his work rate tonight was first class and he had a big influence on the second half performance.All bodes well for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bose Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Westwood mk 2I rate Westwood but I don't think he's as good as Veretout is going to be. Will be a class player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 23, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 23, 2015 I actually agree with Woody. And I made the comparison after the Notts County game.I said that for people who didn't like Westwood, I didn't think they'd like Veretout as they seem to play the position in a very similar way.I like that style of play and so I value players who play like that. But it's clear that a large part of our fan base don't.I can see Veretout being another divisive figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Came into his own the last 15 minutes - but other than that thought he was pretty poor TBH - looked slow and a poor reading of the game. still a fringe player for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 IMO he's clearly a better CM than Westwood and will show that as he plays more. He seems to have a lot more vision and he weights his passes very well indeed - doesn't seem scared to attempt or unable to see a tricky pass either.

He seems to have a lot more vision and he weights his passes very well indeed - doesn't seem scared to attempt or unable to see a tricky pass either. Being that he's only played 90 minutes against a championship and a league 1 team, doesn't this contradict your statement of "judge him against premier league players" that you've given in the Richards thread? I don't think Veretout is "clearly" better than Westwood at all. I think they play the game in a similar way, and I think Veretout has a lot of potential to be better than Westwood in the future. But at the moment it's all potential. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I guess it's hard to remain consistent when you harbour clear biases against some of the players that defy logic in many instances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Much better passer than Sanchez which wouldn't be hard. I'd have him in the first XI based on the limited action I have seen from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Thomas Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I agree, I really think he is going to be a great player for us and the more he plays the better he'll get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Nothing at all like Westwood from what I saw of him in France (admittedly not a lot)If anything more like Milner, driving forward with pace through the middle and running into the box in the second wave of attack.Hopefully he get's a run of games in the correct role once his fitness is up to stat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
