sharkyvilla Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 That dribble he did today was frightening Got to be worth the last 20 today, I hope he is given a start soon. What is there to lose? During that dribble he looked up at least twice to see what other options he had on which is promising, and his crossing in that video looks excellent, so he obviously has it it in his locker. It's just hard to make a fantastic impression in 5 minutes, it's easy to try too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Still only ready for 30 minute cameos in my opinion. But feck me he has amazing potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 This lad getting 5 minute cameos..... I half expected VT debate to just ignore the run and have endless pages of the miscontrol at the end. The lad for me has to get a run of starts over xmas. Purely as he's someone who can excite people and as we've seen from previous sides actually running at defences and committing people will create space for others like Ayew. Please no more Sinclair, I'm stick to death of players like him doing feck all over 90 minutes, reasons why we're getting relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I think we'd almost be nullifying him a bit by starting him, fresh legs etc, but he should certainly be getting 30 minutes at least next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 24 minutes ago, KSV said: He actually tracked back in this match I genuinely think this lad is desperate to prove himself here, he's not another one just coming to take the money and move on at the end of the season. That's a good point made about Newcastle, whenever I've seen them their defence has been torn apart by pace, Montero murdered Janmatt at start of season and Palace scored 5 the other week. He needs a run of starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 at this point I wouldn't want to see him remain an impact sub. considering that we rarely make an impact at all (if we do it's usually too late) he might as well be given a few starts so we can hit the ground kicking from the very start and not when we're fighting a losing battle.

Probably is, certainly ready for more than 5 minutes, I do not understand Garde's thinking at all here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gharperr Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Turned it off before he came on. Butt.....if our defence continues to make error after error then **** it. Give him a start I guess. No point trying to be solid when our defence can't even be solid just for one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted December 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 13, 2015 Garde is clearly winding him up to such an extent so that when he starts against Newcastle next week he'll tear their defence apart in a fit of rage. From then on he shall save us. Definitely the plan. I think. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 He has so much to improve on, but I don't think I have ever seen a player who can do what he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 yeah he should definitely start against Newcastle. why not really? we need wins and for that we need goals. I think he's got them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 From a tactical perspective, we do need him two help put defensively, however his pace will frighten fullbacks and keep them from bombing on all the time. We need to be able to get the ball to him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veretout played some nice balls to Hutton in the second half so think he's got the vision now to find Adama early so he can hurt teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are spot on. The way we play now reminds me very much of the last 18 months under Lambert. We are too cautions and far more concerned with what the opposition can do to us and not what we can do to the opposition and this is really highlighted in the wide positions. Far too often our wide players starting position is in his own half and this just simply invites the opposing sides full back to push up. We need to be far more positive and start putting opposing teams on the back foot and Traore is one of very few players that we have who can do this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 we could play no left side of defence. Not sure it be much different than we are now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itdoesntmatterwhatthissay Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Not ready yet but he won't get any more ready by playing 10 minutes (less today) as a game changer. He needs time to improve his decision making and realise he can pass instead of just running, only game time will give him that. He's poor defensively but he's also guaranteed to be double marked, or marked very tightly, that leaves you space elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Now we've got a run of potentially winnable games coming up, he has to be given a chance for me and start some games. Can understand when we play the likes of Arsenal, City & Everton but not Newcastle, Norwich and Sunderland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 we have play him Jack and GIl behind Ayew we have never tried that combination and it cant be as bad as what we currently play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
