Stevo985 Posted September 30, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2017 Shooting instead of squaring it to Adomah was criminal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 His selfishness was disgusting. But then he made up for it a minute later. Glad he's got his goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) He was fairly awful today, I've rarely seen a player get caught so unnecessarily offside so often, he needs to learn the offside rule, also that shot instead of squaring to Adomah ranks up there among the worst things I've seen from a Villa forward in memory. But by the same token, he was the difference today. Clearly an extremely important player for us but so damn frustrating at times.

I wandered why Bruce was going nuts I didn't see Adomah there as Steve Bruce was stood in the way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 30, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2017 Yeah Bruce was going absolutely mental he was on the pitch Terry gave Kodjia and earful too. Kodjia is brilliant at this level, but that is definitely his weakness. He did it a few minutes earlier as well, although not in such a blatant scenario. He had a shot from an outrageous angle when he had men in the middle waiting for a ball. We'll forgive him when he makes the difference though.

mikeyp102 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 That miss!! My days. He either puts it near post or squares it to Adomah. He tried to do the hardest thing possible. Think he brought the penalty as well, but at least he scored it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Won't pass, lazy, and doesn't understand the offside rule. He may score goals but the basics are why he is unlikely to ever be good enough for the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the current set up I'd agree, but i would like to see Davis and Hogan given a game or 2 together. I think their games compliment each other perfectly. I feel so sorry for Hogan, everytime he comes on its as a lone striker and he looks lost, because it isn't his game. I think he's a much better player than he looks in this set up and Davis could be the kid to get the best out of him. Apologises for going OT.

cb_82 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Stupid decision not to pass but watch the goals from all 3 games this week and you realise how much he makes us tick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) Is he off on international break now? Could really do with a short break and a good solid week of training. Edit : He is off on international duty. Not great. Edited September 30, 2017 by rodders0223 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 That lasted what 3 games? Now back to the kodjia who forgets he has 10 other team mates. His weakness is his decision making at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottingVilla Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 He can do what he wants. We are the property of Kodjia! He should have squared to Adomah no question, but I don't want him start passing everytime he gets the ball....it his tenacious runs what makes him so good for us. I think he was just desperate for a goal today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i thought was really evident and surprising today was that Adomah didn't give him any pelters at all on a couple of occasions that he didn't pass, not least the big one. You would hope some of the more senior guys like Terry have a word at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked to me like he was trying to hit the ball hard across the box and just hit it completely wrong. He didn't seem to shape as if to shoot. That may be me giving him the benefit of the doubt though and I haven't seen any replays of it. His decision making can be very poor at times though (as seen with the Adomah one). He seemed to take the ball forwards as if he was going to pass it so narrowed his own angle and then still took the shot on. One of the worst pieces of play I've ever seen at Villa and then he goes and wins a penalty from nothing from the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
