sidcow Posted September 24, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2016 A few on here heavily criticized him before he even played and continued to. I have defended him and whilst I am a long way from giving up on him he has been more than disappointing so far and today he was utterly utterly woeful. It would be very typical of us however to sign a player who was at the heart and soul of a promoted side, whose fans are gutted to see him leave, for him to turn out for us as complete gash. Only we could achieve this, we do it over and over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 No , sorry but that's a cop out. Every player must look after their own performance and jedinak's was terrible. Having westwood beside him in the first half doesn't justify his own performance. It was crap. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieVillan Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) Every single player in our team was crap first half, Kodjia the best of a bad bunch, but they all improved second half. Im on the fence with Jedinak for another couple of games, I think he will come good. Edited September 24, 2016 by GeordieVillan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I'm as disappointed with him as any player for some time. I didn't expect him to be great but I expected him to be a rock. He isn't, by a long way. I think there may be something in the idea that our constant missing around with shape hasn't helped. And he actually plays, or attempts, a lot more forward passes than I recall at Palace - not really his game, but he has to because Westwood often doesn't. Like most of our signings though, we should be giving the guy some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Let's remember he played in a 4-3-3 at Palace. McJedley....McCarthur, Jedinak, Ledley. I don't think at his age playing in a two man midfield with a snail like Westwood is going to work. Our present formation doesn't help a lot of our players imo....we should switch to 4-3-3 especially with Grealish out of the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted September 24, 2016 Moderator Share Posted September 24, 2016 Lighting slow. The switch to three in the middle helped him and us a great deal; if we don't keep it, I don't think he can play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Jedinak and Elphick had the footballing 'yips' today. Literally lost confidence to the point they were struggling with ball control and simple passing. As they have been signed for their character as much as their ability, I'd expect them to move on and Improve. This certainly wasn't the Jedinak the palace fans worshipped. He reminded me of Sanchez at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 had a shocker today, maybe him and Tshibola as he is a runner will look better. Sanchez was a hell of a lot better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Definitely need to sign a central midfielder in the winter window. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 He's probably the slowest player I've ever seen. Looks like a retired player playing a testimonial the way he runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Very poor yesterday. I hope he improves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 It's as though his legs are made out of cement, on top of that he is the worst passer I've seen since Reo Coker. Putrid so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putrid so far. I am hoping that he is not 100% fit yet and that there is far more to come from him. His passing was poor but what I will say to slightly defend him is that he is often going for the more risky pass and trying to play the ball forward and not going for the safe sideways and backwards passing.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 He was dogshit for about 65 minutes yesterday. Then when asked to play in his natural position, he looked decent. Much like Sanchez's Villa career, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I do hope this doesnt go the way of the westwood thread. Be a shame to have another one I never bother to read I for one was happy to accept he isnt Pirlo before we bought him. He is the least of our worries imo. Esecially in midfield. Even after a shocker yesterday I've got a bit more hope in the idea that Tish/Jedi might do us alright for a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Bottom line is I can't see a single thing he does better than Sanchez, and he was a disappointment. There has to be a midfielder available on a free transfer we could get who would improve us? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
