markavfc40 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I thought he put a shift in but his failure to constantly beat the first man with his crossing wasted a number of promising positions for us. I like him though and think he has bright future as he does look comfortable at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Very poor, playing on the right side doesn't seem to suit him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Was poor today, and set pieces when we needed them just weren't up to standard. Needs to drive with the ball and be more decisive going forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 His set pieces are normally bang on the money (well compared to Westwood's floated &^^^$) so off night in that regard. Bit one paced but very technically good, no idea if he'd be a good fit for the championship or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ROTTERDAM1982 Posted January 16, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2016 Dear me,the standards that are expected on here. For me he is our most creative player, and the player you want to get on the ball.Technically very good, always looks to be positive, and generally has good delivery. We are a bit lopsided at the moment, our only danger comes down the right, Westwood and Sissokho on the left is too one paced. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieVillan Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 His first off-game for a while. Maybe he was left our against Wycombe as he needed a rest. Set pieces are still good enough for him to keep his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 16, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2016 He was one of our best players against Palace. If that's poor then I'm lost. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 He's been one of our better players but still hasn't performed well enough at this level. He's had some really good moments and the potential is there but right now he's not at the required level. He's not alone, neither is westwood or Sanchez and at times Gana is the same. Our midfield is quite awful. It's doesn't do anything really well, its not creative, it doesn't protect the back 4, it doesn't control games. We need big improvements in this area in the future.

Poor against Palace? Was probably the best player on the pitch IMO. That blind pass to Cissokho on the left wing between two players on the edge of their box was brilliant.

I can see what you're getting at, but IMO the Villa midfield controlled the last two games. If not, would you be able to provide stats/etc to prove otherwise?

DCJonah Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 It was a good performance against palace and Leicester are a team happy to soak pressure and try to counter attack. I don't think having more of the ball at times always means control. We did very little with it from midfield. Overall this season I'd say our midfield has been out played by their opposition more often than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Thought he looked a bit leggy tonight hence his passing wasn't as good as his last few games. It is easy though to overlook the amount of graft he puts in. Hope he is rested on Tuesday ready for the baggies next Saturday as I think it will do him good.

OutByEaster? Posted January 16, 2016 Moderator Share Posted January 16, 2016 He's the best of our central midfielders. He wasn't tonight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dounavilla Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 He is our best midfielder by far , looked tired today though. His improvement has been very good. Could have been just an off game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Off the pace today he did put a shift in against Palace so that could be the reason. His crossing was poor today also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I think him and Gil along with Ayew have been the real positives in the team since Remi landed. Another reason I like Garde as he seems to have real faith in him and has helped to bring him out of his shell. I really like him too and think he's a class signing and hopefully will be around next season as I think he will get better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Looked shattered tonight hope they don't play him tues just to give him a rest he is vital if we have any chance of staying up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
