You don't have any source whatsoever so I don't see your point. You are the one who was telling me I'm uninvolved and was rude to me saying my post don't mean jack so I threw it back at you. Pathetic You didnt though, you just posted a nonsense article, the rest of you assumptions are pretty funny though and yes i suggest you leave it there.

Yes, I come on here to discuss and read about my team with fellow fans. Not to be rude to them if they point out something that differs to what I suggest. So ta ta. I shall do this with the more grown up fans here and will not comment on any of your future posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbop Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Think we should have thrown him on when Veretout was out on his feet in the last 10 minutes or so, but I can see why Garde didn't risk it in case he didn't work hard to get back during a Newcastle counter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider how slow the Newcastle defence is though, there was a portion of the second half, after we scored, where they were extremely exposed, their posession was poor and Ayew had a few great chances to run at them. Imagine having Adama on the other side as well. I think we could've won it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted December 19, 2015 Moderator Share Posted December 19, 2015 He has some huge flaws, he's not particularly interested when he doesn't have the ball and he's tactically very poor - but he's 19 and he's very much still learning his trade - the coaches will work with him and hopefully he'll learn. If nothing else, his physique, and the change in it since he arrived suggests that he's willing to put in the work, if that attitude is reflected in all the work he does in training, then when he is ready to start, he'll have a chance at being something special. Right now, I'd play him in every reserve game, and bring him off the bench whenever circumstances allow, he really needs game time - perhaps even a loan. I think he's 18 months from being either a helluva player or a novelty item. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Quote Adama Traore has two choices: perform like Lionel Messi or learn how to play in a team. That’s the message from Aston Villa boss Remi Garde who reckons the exciting winger is focusing too much on his individual threat. “He is inconsistent in his game,” said the manager, “You cannot have a player except for maybe Messi who can walk on the pitch and only play when his team has the ball. Nobody can do that.” Adama, who rubbed shoulders with the Argentinian superstar at Barcelona, has shown his explosive talent on brief bursts this season. The 19-year-old also posts clips of his skills online but Garde knows he can’t single-handedly change Villa’s fortunes. “I saw the first training session and watched a lot of Adama’s videos on what he has done previously,” he said. “He is very gifted, I know that. He has some brilliant skill and is tremendous on dribbling but it’s a small part of the game. “How long do you hold the ball, one minute 30, two minutes? Then what are you doing for 88 minutes? “If you are not doing well especially in the situation where we are, it’s quite a problem. We need hard workers. “I don’t mean Adama is not a hardworker but he is young and inconsistent and he needs to work. “When you look at him coming in against Arsenal the first action he did was brilliant but then I am looking overall. “I have to keep the balance of the team. Adama needs to work like every player.” Probably already been posted but if not it does give a good insight into why he isn't starting. http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/adama-traore-remi-garde-delivers-10616552 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I can only think today Garde reckoned he won't fancy it in those conditions. That said if we're drawing 1-1 with West Ham we have to get him on the pitch, we need to attempt to win some games ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ismail-villa Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Only briefly watched the match after work. Would think the conditions wouldn't have suited Adama, so can understand him not playing. When it's the soaking, running with the ball is difficult.

Exactly the reason why Gil or Grealish didn't come off the bench as well. Both those players are possession players who like to have the ball at their feet. The field was not suited for quick dribbling or possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Should have come in last night. Ayew was managing to run with the ball, he was having collocini on toast. Adama could've made an impact to win us the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 in them conditions he should have got at least 15 minutes, Newcastle are hopeless against pace plus the rain would have had them falling all over the place missed opportunity 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 As Mikeyp102 has pointed out, Ayew managed to run with the ball all right, can't see why Adama couldn't have... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Im not going to go as far as saying that he should be starting every game and that he's the best thing this sliced bread but it is baffling how a player who has pace and can take players on, the two things defenders fear the most, is picking splinters on the bench.

It just doesn't add up, we needed three points and the manager didn't do enough from his bench yet again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanky Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 This isn't the saviour you're looking for. Wouldn't mind him getting on the pitch for longer than 5 minutes to have a decent look. I'm definitely sure Sinclair isn't anyway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
