Honestly mate - I was shocked at some of the comments in this thread. Unbelievable.

lexicon Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I know that it isn't just here or just our fans but ffs, I absolutely hate seeing players getting written off by their own fans on the back of something minor. Especially with players who have been very good beforehand or youngsters, who seemingly aren't allowed to make any mistakes (Hepburn-Murphy being the latest). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the same people that wanted Jack sold 2-3 seasons ago, you just have to acecpt that a minority of fans have no patience in football and only deal in extremes.

Glad To see him grabbing a brace tonight, 1 in a game, 2 in a game, 3 on Saturday? Such an enigma, some times he can be the most infuriating player around. Looking disinterested and not trying. Then all of a sudden boom. Pulls out a bit of magic. As with their goal scorer, both should’ve seen red tonight though I like your thinking. I am looking forward to the 48-0 wins towards the end of the season. Oh wait, just remembered the defence... looking forward to the 48-16 wins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 He hasn't just scored a goal to boost his confidence, like a few tap ins.....He has come back with " Top class" finishes. HE'S BACK ALRIGHT!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no doubt that there is an element of that, but to be fair mate, many on here (including myself) have never been huge fans of Kodjia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to go off topic mate, but nobody has ever doubted Jacks talent. The issue people 2/3yrs ago was that his attitude didn't seem right at all, i had serious concerns that he would end up going the way of so many talent kids that never realise their potential due to their off field lifestyle. The way he has turned that around is credit to himself, but i understand the concerns many had a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted August 25, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2018 From the moment he had that shot from miles away at a stupid angle he looked completely uninterested. Looked like he was sulking. Need another striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Just when I thought he was back in the swing of things he comes out with a shocking performance today. So frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggy_333 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Didn't look like he wanted to chase anything for the last half an hour. Can't decide if he was knackered or sulking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digavilla Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 All he wanted is to score goals himself to enhance his market value. He will never be a team player because of his selfish character , i personally feel it doesnt matter to him if Villa lose 3-4 , as long as he’s get to score the 3 goals. There were few occasion he could pass to a teammates in better position asking for the pass , but instead chose to shoot from difficult angles himself. These will cause disharmony in the squad , it will be everyman for himself . In this modern day of football , where assist is more important than scoring goals , selfish players like Kodjia will not take us far .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Back to his recent performances then, never been a team player, like others have said about him only thinking about scoring and not the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digavilla Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Sadly , if I remember correctly Bolasie is similiar in character to Kodjia & play the same way too ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 It wasn't great, but he had a lot to do and not a lot of help. More than one he was chasing the ball down in the channels, won it.. and had absolutely no help. There were situations in which I expected him to do better, but for the most part, I think he's a victim of Bruceball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digavilla Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Yes I agree Bruceball doesn’t help all..Saido Mane used to play like Kodjia too, but is totally transformed now under Klopp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
