HanoiVillan Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I just remember Smalling bouncing off Benteke.... that was a sight to behold. I'm sure that Gestede will be effective against other defenders. If you can play against cloggers in the Championship then the Premier League should be a bit more easier in a physical sense, although quite obviously defenders are more intelligent in the top flight, so it's up to Gestede to raise his game and I'm sure he will. I think that's how a lot of Villa fans remember him, but that was some time ago and he's much much better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewie Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 So now that Rudy has two sub appearances under his belt, and with the potential of Gil, Adama, and Jack coming back, do we think Tim might give him the full 90 this weekend? Or still not match fit? I'd like to see him have a full 90 sooner rather than later, see what he can do with balls being whipped in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 One trick pony i'm afraid Was dominated by the palace CB's all game people comparing him to Carew are having a laugh he actually had flair and would do other things than try and win headers I just don't see Gustede picking the ball up in a wide area running at the defence and slotting it in the corner like Big John did against Rapid Vienna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I'm really wondering how he is better than Kozak? At least Kozak doesn't look like a donkey with the ball at his feet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Can't blame him too much, he was playing alongside an absolute r****d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 He is a presence in the air but has no skill with the ball at his feet unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 wouldnt say awful as he was decent 1st half and caused Delaney problems. Needs a player to buzz around him to pick up 2nd balls which I think could be Ayew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I said it before and I'll say it again. If we don't get quality service into him he is not going to be a good player for us. The delivery, whether from open play or set pieces was diabolical. He had nothing to feed off in the box. With service I think he'd score double figures this season, without service he's going to become very unpopular on here. What we saw was the very worst of him, outside the box he isn't very good, he's statue-esque and has no pace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted August 22, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2015 Occational good header is not enough. Out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Think people were getting a little euphoric after the Bournemouth game thinking he was going to score 10-15 this season no problem. If the crosses aren't up to scratch I don't really see how else he's hurting back 4s from his few games so far. A squad striker for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Like the good doctor said he thriveson service and balls into the box. We all know that and it is up to Tim to sort it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 He was poor today, needs to play much better than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) Occational good header is not enough. Out. Okay, we'll try and find a buyer then before the end of the transfer window, sorry he didn't please you. EDIT: in 154 minutes of Premier League football.

BOF Posted August 22, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2015 He does need a bit more service too though. If lumpers into the box are his staple this season then he's feeding off scraps. It's a team game. When the support staff improve then I'm sure he will too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
