BOF Posted December 9, 2015 Moderator Share Posted December 9, 2015 Two assists in his last two games. This fella is going to be crucial to our survival. If he can get anywhere near as prolific as he was in France at the same time as maybe Ayew can start finding the net then we've some chance.

I think he'll be with us next season no matter what personally. You are all forgetting we are owned by a **** moron. Will probably be 6 months in the bomb squad, then back at Nantes with us paying 95% of his salary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passing needs tidying up, crossing too but all round he's improved and he looks okay. Might help him to show his talent in the Championship. Any chance we can stop the defeatist comments? Getting annoying now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people think we are down they are entitled to feel that way, just like you are thinking (in my opinion unrealistic) in staying up but i wouldnt say "its annoying" because it doesnt share your opinion. Its not like we are one point away from getting out we are hugely adrift and poor run of form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DCJonah Posted December 9, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2015 If we're not going to play Gil behind the striker then I hope we continue to push this guy further forward. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 10, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2015 Agreed. It's literally years that we've been suffering the problem of having no link between the midfield and the strikers. Would be nice to finally have that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New_Jersey_Villa Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 The lad just needs to get his fitness up another notch. Was utterly shagged in the last 10 minutes of the Southampton game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 he is looking fitter from the first game he played for us. He was gone after 50-60 minutes. Now hes lasting almost the whole game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) He's improving, I still didn't think his overall performance was that good against Southampton but did do a couple of very good things, the talent is there, but it's now just a question of fitness (which can be improved) and consistency with the ball at his feet (not so easy to improve).

Popular Post avfc1982am Posted December 11, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2015 I like Veretout. I see a lad that has taken a little while to adjust and been criticised for being crap prematurely by some. Yet you watch him and I see no lack of effort, improvements all the time however small. And genuinely I get the feeling he is an honest player who if backed and played in the right position will possibly be our best acquisition in midfield from the summer. There is no billy big bollocks attitude or laziness when things ain't working he just keeps plugging away. Along with Ayew his attitude on the pitch has been top draw. Both have something to prove and are going about it the right way imo by working their nuts off even without the ball. I also think his fitness levels have vastly improved and are up there with most of the other players now. The tiredness after 70-80 mins I thought was only natural considering the shift he had put in against Southampton. Still a long way to go but I do expect him to keep improving as he settles more and then the consistency will follow. Also just too add it does seem that playing him in his natural advanced position in midfield is now helping him to settle also. As with all the new lads, I believe non of them should be playing out of position unless we have no options. They need to be comfortable on the pitch in a positional sense while learning the lingo, pace of the game etc, then we will see what they are really capable of. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn1982 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 His fitness levels are finally getting up there like a lot of the players and it begs the question what did Sherwood do in the summer to get these so fit/unfit?? I've liked him from the start but it's hard getting half a team to settle at once. I think he'll be massive for us 2nd half if of the season but will it be too late?

bobzy Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 He's starting to look like a player. Needs to play every game, would be happy if that's as a "number 10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClarrieBlue Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Our best player today. Improving with each game. Sanchez and Gana were off the pace today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Can pass a ball for sure but shooting needs to improve. Definitely an improvement on Westwood though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Really liked what I saw today. I think I'd prefer to see him slot in next to Sanchez with Gil in front of them. Get Sanchez to solely win the ball and give it to those two, he is a liability doing anything else. Veretout gets better each match as he gets fitter and up to speed which I'm pleased to see.

poitier Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Strolled around, made a couple of passes, appalling lack of effort for their second goal. He has been improving but I didn't see anything today in that performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
