Demitri_C Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Yeah he did have a stinker today no doubt but I am happy with adomahs contribution this season so I am not gonna start slaying him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Yeah, he really didn't fancy it today against a geriatric Robinson. He does seem a really nice guy and I have little doubt he was intimidated. Still, you can't argue with his contribution over the course of the season.

AshVilla Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) I just don't think he's consistent enough We need someone tearing it up at this level week in week out We can't afford players to have "off" weekends if we expect to get promoted Edited April 23, 2017 by AshVilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Could Be Rotterdam Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 15 hours ago, sidcow said: He had a great game 3 or 4 games ago, can't remember who against where he was unstoppable. I cant remember who it was either but if it was at villa park i think youre referring to the game where he was up against a cb playing at lb. Which says far more about the other teams squad depth than it does about adomahs ability. Hes the most frustrating player to watch for me, so often hutton or someone on his side gets the ball and theres plenty of space to run into down the wing but he either tucks in to come closer to them, bringing his man with him, or just stays stationary like he expecting them to walk the ball to him. I just wish hed make a run. Even if he doesnt receive the ball he will stretch the opposition and create space for others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigy1874 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Nice guy but very average footballer - won't take us where we need to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's perfectly good for our current team but needs a bit of competition for his place. He's one of the first names on the team sheet each week, which on one hand is great but he could get complacent. admittedly occasionally he has found it hard to get into matches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is good enough to escape this bout of replacements, however if all goes well with the new recruits January may be different IMO! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) I like the fact he can find a Villa player with his crosses not sure we've had a winger since Young who can do that. I expected him to be a bit quicker and a bit more skilful so I can see why he isn't rated as a PL player. That said I think he's capable of getting us out of the division, just need someone to provide his kind of output on the other side.

If he found villa players regularly I would love him, unfortunately he only does that sporadically. If he did that at pace he'd be in the prem!

Granted though if he had more pace he'd be in Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consistency is his biggest weakness! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I like Adomah in an effort sense. I don't get the impression he is lazy, and he does try. He's had a 7/10 season I think. I am really surprised he's the second top assister in the league. shouldnt be considered for moving on, I think having Green and Grealish (and gabby?) as potential wide players gives us options.

sidcow Posted May 7, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted May 7, 2017 I said in the pre match Thread when the team was announced that we would need Adomah to play out of his skin and provide for Hogan if we were to have a chance. However Albert was once again anonymous. Quite bizarre how he refuses to take his man on. I really don't see it with him regardless of his stats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me a bit of Scott Sinclair actually. He was quite prolific for us in terms of stats compared to the rest of the squad, yet he looked utter rubbish. We need out and out wingers on either side - players that aren't afraid of skipping past a fullback and whipping a ball in first time. Both Adomah and Grealish love to slow down play, eventually leading to a backwards pass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I know Knockaert is better than many so I don't want to be unfair, but it was remarkable the difference between the two players, particularly how often Knockaert tried to drive on, where Adomah turned back, also whenever Brighton got the ball Knock was on his bike whereas Adomah lurked by the full back. Didnt watch Adomah much at Boro....is it him, or is it tactical ? Whichever he could do with watching today's game before he goes on his hols.

I'm not saying it IS tactical, just that we don't know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meregreen Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 We need a winger who can terrorise defenders. Adomah is simply too easy to mark. Anonymous most of the time, lacks any menace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Very hit and miss in my opinion. Needs that consistently. I find him really ineffective in away games for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Very good option to have because he is productive and on his day can be really good, however his lack of consistency means he shouldn't be considered a nailed on starter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Hopefully he can contribute the way he has this season, and Green can fill in some of the cracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
