Yet he was so unlucky with a dink from a tight angle that went agonisingly wide, and created that McGinn chance with a sublime back heel.

Worst cameo ever Sublime back heel? It was bog standard. And he missed from a few yards out. Go back and watch him/it, he was awful and completely disinterested.

Worst cameo ever I agree - He nearly scored with that quality chip, then set up a chance for McGinn and put him through. He went on to hit the post. You know what you're going to get with Kodjia, a bit a of skill in the final third. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only suggest you watch some more football if you think thats one of the worst sub appearances youve ever seen. I've seen plenty of times where some players are brought on and not even touch the ball *cough* Hogan *cough* 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 14, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 14, 2019 I thought he was fine. Most of the time he was having to deal with diagonal hoofs but he still put himself about and created a couple of things. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) What was the great chance he missed? You surely can't mean the dink? He did well to come as close as he did, I don't think any of our other forwards come anywhere close from that.

rodders0223 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I thought he did alright to be fair, provided an outlet and ran the channels when needed. Certainly not the worst cameo by even Jimmy's standards. I have seen him come on and take the complete piss and be called out for it by his own players in recent months. He has definitely lost that edge though, even when getting out to press the centre backs he is so sluggish. He is done, he is gone in the summer anyway.

TRO Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) currently hasn't got the necessary aggression to succeed in this league, like Albert.......passive,both of them. Edited March 14, 2019 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 He made the pitch look as though it were an ice rink. Was awfully balanced and lacked the aggression and desire we ought to expect from anyone wearing the shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gone ,now. running the channels is the very bare minimum, for a forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was awfully balanced and lacked the aggression and desire we ought to expect from anyone wearing the shirt. Absolutely, the way he sauntered on to the pitch said it all for me - and I know he's always had a bit of a 'I'm better than all of you' swagger to him but I thought last night was the worst I'd seen. He should have been running around like a madman, he should have seen it as a chance to remind Smith (and us) that he's a good player, instead he sulked around the pitch. Compounded it all with a needless and dangerous tackle on our own Joe Lolley toward the end too, I normally wouldn't care too much about a challenge on an oppo player but Joe's different breed and Villa through and through. I wonder about the likes of Hutton, Kodjia.....maybe even Chester......I know the latter has been injured but hearing nothing about his recovery, I find it interesting that these players are featuring less and less whilst interviews such as Elphick's are coming out questioning peoples commitment to the cause........all speculation of course and maybe I'm putting 2+2 together and coming up with 5 but it's interesting......

DCJonah Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Haha Proof that no matter what some have to channel that hate somewhere. Kodjia was fine. He ran the channels, nearly scored and a bit of creativity should have seen mcginn finish the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised to know if they were the same people who complained Ayew didn't smile enough when he played for us. Listen, ever since he's been here, he's never been one to chase and harass defenders like Tammy does sometimes. You have to remember when he was in our team, we played some shite football - he was feeding off scraps and often produced magic by himself to win us games. He's off soon, his injuries have taken it's toll. Yesterday he nearly scored a chance no one in our team would've scored, and set up McGinn who should've scored for his hat trick in a 20 minute cameo ffs.

Thug Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I’m in the he did fine camp too quite honestly, was no worse than Tammy last night. I understand giving him stick when he deserves it, but come on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
