Lets take your point that there is a difference between saying someone is shit and playing shit.... I agree btw. But it's no different to the difference between saying he's not playing shit and he's not shit. So to simplify.... HE was playing shit. people said he is shit.... ultimately premature. Your now saying those who said he was shit were wrong based on him playing good....... which by your logic, doesn't make him good. No. I was saying they were wrong when he was playing poorly, him playing well hasn't altered my view of the daft stuff posted about him or various other players. It isn't my logic that is flawed or subject to huge contradictions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, problem is playing Westwood as the third, sits too deep so we end up playing a defensive 6. Watched the game in stratford with some normal blue noses - we all thought Jedi was motm.

Hornso Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Won all of the headers today. Stiff that his deflection sent the equaliser into the back of the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes it is. you've today said that people were wrong to call him shit. that seems to be off the basis of him playing well for a couple of games. NEITHER opinion of mile is definitely right yet you seem to have decided that ppls original opinion of him is wrong........ based on as little evidence as those ppl who you criticise in this thread made their minds up earlier on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) He was brilliant defensively against Blues and protected our defence really well. He had a great game overall... ...however, I also thought he was instrumental in the reason we struggled so much - we just didn't relieve ourselves of any pressure. The theme was a ball played long from the Blues defence would be cut out/won in the air/tackled off their opponent by Jedinak, but then he'd just lump an aimless ball straight back to their defence. He rarely (if ever?) found our only outlet - Kodija - so the attacks just kept coming. I think a lot of that was to do with the pace of a derby game so, in less frantic matches, I hope he can do all the defensive stuff but then get his head up and play a proper pass.

Actually, reading the initial quote back, I wouldn't say he was "lazy" or "not that bothered", but he was sloppy and lethargic. Good to see him improving (hopefully continued) though.

That part of his game he did very well, passing accuracy of 37% is not great thou. In fact our whole team had a chocking PA% Whoscored has him as their player of the game fwiw. Looking at the stats both teams were dismal, pretty much as I remember the game from watching it on the telly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BOF Posted November 1, 2016 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2016 How Aston Villa's Mile Jedinak prevented Birmingham City from scoring an instant equaliser Quote Aston Villa’s Mile Jedinak used all of his footballing brains to prevent Birmingham City from grabbing an instant equaliser in the Second City derby. The Australian has been improving in recent weeks and made arguably his most timely intervention in the immediate aftermath of Gary Gardner firing Villa into the lead on Sunday. Local lad Gardner wheeled away in celebration and ran the length of the pitch to share the moment with the Villa fans. All but one of his jubilant teammates followed. While 10 claret and blues celebrated with the fans, Jedinak stood patiently in the Blues half. He had realised that if he stepped foot in his own half, Blues would have been able to take a quick kick-off and have a free run at goal. The Birmingham City players had realised it, too. A few of them even attempted to wrestle him across the halfway line. But the bearded midfielder stood firm and allowed his teammates and the adoring supporters to enjoy the moment. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
