Demitri_C Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I dont know why but he has shown glipses but I honestly think this guy is going to be class for us once he settles. Sherwood has just bloody taken the guy in and out the side. he looked good against blose 2nd half then wasnt he benched the following game or game before? then last week he wasnt even in the squad? I think he has been badly managed just like ayew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 23, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2015 I don't think he's shown anything yet to suggest he's (currently) any better than our other CMs. I'd imagine that's why he's not making the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I must have seen glimpses of a different Veretout to eveyone else? I think he looks way off the pace and way out of his depth so far. I feel we may have another Berson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel we may have another BersonHe needs to be given consistent games in the side, not the odd sub performance. I want to see westwood out of the side and Veretout and Gana given cm. I think these two would do every well. I find that alot of our sideway balls come when westwood passes the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 23, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2015 Like I said, Veretout has shown nothing yet to suggest he's better than Westwood.He may get there. I like him. But he looks far from ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I think it is a little to early to judge him as with Ayew. He played the AM role for Nantes last season so playing him in a more of a holding role isn't necessarily where he will shine most. I think it is no surprise his best moments for Villa have so far been in advanced positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Hasn't looked that good to me. Technically early days, but at best he has been neat and tidy, at worst just totally ineffective. My issue is that he appears to be too similar to Westwood, whereas what I expected was more of a play maker.

We need them to perform now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 They both need to play then. Fragmented game time isn't going to help them get match sharpness. I'm hoping at least Ayew gets a start tomorrow as I am sure playing against his bro he will want to shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Anyone who thinks he's looked anything but woeful is a bit deluded imo. If you can barely get a kick in this team your either injured or shit.One thing I like about Westwood. He didn't cost 8m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I think woeful is stretching it by a mile. Poor maybe, average certainly.Anyone who thinks those performances have been woeful has maybe way too high standards for players playing in a bottom end Premier League club. IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Disagree, I think he's shown that he can play a bit of football but at the same time that he's way off the pace of the prem, he'll come good if he gets a chance, the problem with not being ready is it's a 2 edged sword, you won't get better from watching...I personally am absolutely convinced that due to the lack of quality in there we have to play a 3 man midfield, at the moment for me that would be veretout, Gana, SanchezSanchez anchor, Gana workhouse, veretout pushing forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, 'woeful' is strong, should be reserved for players who have actually cost points with their mistakes. Lescott and Guzan have been 'woeful', Veretout has been 'not up to speed'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel we may have another BersonHe needs to be given consistent games in the side, not the odd sub performance. no, he needs to be showing that hes better than westwood and co in training to get the consistent game time. Not just because hes a player we signed so he must get consistent games. You shouldnt just be given Apps, should be earning them and maybe he just isnt showing it training? (certainly hasnt shown hes an improvement over westwood and co when hes come on the pitch so its hard to just give him a game for sake of it. Seems wrong to) Edited October 24, 2015 by gharperr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Fack me, he really should've gone to Leicester then if that's the case.He isn't looked great so far I agree, I got the impression he would be a slow burner from his first two starts when he made no impact. From highlights of the Stoke game he does seem to have a decent touch on the ball and also showed he's one of the few in our midfield who can actually run with it from the halfway line before he fell over. End product was lacking both teams but he clearly has something with all those assists for Nantes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Hard to know how good he is given the incompetence of our manager. Like all of our players they cant shine when the manager is just guessing the team and changing tactics on a weekly basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
