Vive_La_Villa Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Awful player. Can't believe he has managed to score so many goals. Whenever he gets the ball you can almost guarantee we will lose possession. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not in his best form, but he produces more than anyone on our team by far. I've said it several times before, if Grealish or Davis or RHM had an 18 months like he's had for us we'd all be creaming ourselves all over them.

DCJonah Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 His stats are ridiculous, but at times he does look useless. Keeps doing it though this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appriecate the goals and assists he offers and it's why he will always start. I just think he is a very limited player and punching above his weight. His decision making is awful at times. But to call him an awful player was a bit extreme I admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAV1 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 He’s a good Championship player and in form. Nothing really not to like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted December 30, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2017 All-important cross for the goal. Hopefully starts to improve again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest all direct-wingers will lost the ball more-often than not, the difference is that when they don't, you score...see the example today. To use an extreme example look at Ronaldo for Real Madrid, he spends all game losing the ball and then scores and gets world player of the year...it's the nature of the position. He always drives at his man and must be a nightmare to play against at this level, he always wants to put the ball in dangerous areas. He is a crucial crucial player for us, when he came off at Brentford we offered absolutely nothing.

You are lucky if he gets a touch outside the penalty box nowadays As for Adomah, our most productive player by far, as with Kodjia though he will get pelters. I think people forget we are in the Championship, if Adomah was consistent he wouldn't be here. Edited December 30, 2017 by rodders0223 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Honestly think he should be getting switched flanks more often. He's getting increasingly found out down the left and rarely puts good balls in the box, however we known from last season and at previous clubs that he can deliver good quality into the box from the right. However let's not expect us to be anything but predictable under Bruce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That switch would change the whole attacking strategy, from cutting inside to staying on the flank and crossing, which could unsettle the defence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratvillan Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 To get promoted you need goals from all over, probably 2 players approaching 20. Think Albert is our second player, to really push on we need that first choice centre forward. It's not Davis, hogan or McCormack or this season kodjia. Doesn't make him a bad player just not the main centre forward we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos_the_third Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Really impressed by his crossing with his weaker left foot today (set up the first two goals this way from memory)! This coming on the back of a similar assist for the winner against Boro. Top work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Brilliant tonight against his old club. Given what he's produced this season anyone criticising him is frankly bonkers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 He was superb today. I've been critical of his general play lately but he really is so important to us. Can't deny that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
