KHV Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Mccormack has good years and he has shit years. Look back through his record. There is a reason he has never played at the highest level. He has has had seasons in the championship when he has really struggled and barely scored 5 goals. He is throwing another one of those seasons in. Massive price tag, massive wages, massive disappointment. Typical Villa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 This is completely conjecture on my behalf and I do think McCormack is a skilful player, but it just seems he isn't giving as much as he can. Perhaps being at a larger club with a larger contract at the twilight of his career has gone to his head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps being at a larger club with a larger contract at the twilight of his career has gone to his head? I may well be completely wrong but I look at it very differently; I think he's just despondent. We're set up badly, particularly badly for his style of play, he's getting no service and very little game time. In turn his confidence in scoring/ having an impact is dropping game by game. Without a midfield putting through balls in or creating poacher like goals he's going to do little at this club. Kodjia has scored a few because 1) he's played more 2) he's scored a few penalties and c) he's a different kind of striker - more physical etc. In flashes, McCormack has shown some fantastic skill but I think he's just given up, like most of us have, on getting anything out of this midfield so his head has dropped.

Genie Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Probably didn't want to move but we gave him too much turn down. Now he's got the blues cos he sold his soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, we could always evaluate back to his youth, but that holds little relevance to how he should be doing right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the ball isn't exactly to his feet he ain't getting it. He can barely move. In fairness, I'd want the ball to my feet when the guy passing it to me is 3 yards away ffs! He hasn't just become shit overnight, we've done it to him, like so many other players before him we've surrounded him with absolute trash to play with! It's the Aston Villa way my man!

Sure, I wasn't averse to him signing but to point to the last 3 years and therefore assume he's been consistent throughout his career is simply wrong, the man's 30 years old so he's been playing for a lot longer than 3 years. Do you simply ignore the previous 7-8 years? For me - no, particularly not when we're discussing someone's consistency levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Also, to add - the guy hasn't looked fit since he signed, appreciate he had a couple of injuries around the start of the season which will have put him on the back foot but Bruce was seemingly surprised at how unfit he was when he came in. Coupled with the seemingly disinterested aura he gives off when on the pitch I'd suggest that his problems go far deeper than simply having a shit midfield behind him.

Yeah, I would - I'd look at what they're doing recently rather than what they were doing 4 years ago. Flip the situation on it's head, would you be praising a player who is currently doing terribly based on a brilliant scoring record 4 years ago? Of course you wouldn't.

Hang on, are you not praising a player who is currently doing terribly based on a brilliant scoring record last year? Whether it's 1 year or 4 years ago it's in the past.

I wouldn't say he's doing about what he should be doing because, 4 years ago, he only scored 4 times in a season. Ridiculous to class last season equal to 4 years ago because they're both "in the past". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
