Popular Post sne Posted January 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2017 Wonder if Henri will settle into the comfy way of ambling about doing nothing that our current crop of midfielders have adopted, or if he'll actually do what a midfielder is supposed to do? Here's hoping! Getting kinda bored with us acting like this as soon as the game starts. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like there's a lot of solipsists in here or is it just me? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we all know about our own players? I don't really get your point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point is, no-one on here can agree about our players most of the time. 1 good game they're world beaters, 1 bad game they should never have laced up their boots. So gauging a player's ability by asking fans of that club is pretty useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong but that's what I led myself to believe. They do count he definitely has 9 yellows.

wilko154 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 We've got Lansbury, Henri Lansbury I just don't think you understand He's Steve Bruce's man He's better than Zidane We've got Henri Lansbury Lyrical genius I know, let's get this going in the Holte today! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask today and the majority will say Elpick isn't great. Ask in 2 weeks after 2 clean sheets and he's a terrific defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted January 21, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 21, 2017 I think you're judging a large group of people as one large 'thinking' collective. We're not, and for the most part people post fairly even handedly on VT I think, emotions make us exaggerate after a game sometimes, but most who say Chester is good this week, would say perhaps he had a bad game but he's still good next week. But there will be people who already said he's average saying 'I told you he was poor', but they're not necessarily the same person that said he was good last week... but sometimes you are right, people change their minds. I like to think I'd never be too proud to admit I was wrong and say, actually Kozak is good, if he suddenly played and scores loads of goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DCJonah Posted January 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2017 Looked very good. Was all over the pitch, range of passing was excellent and fantastic corners. Looks an excellent signing at this level. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Like a lot of the qualities he brings to the team. Think he could prove to be a decent signing for the price paid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Very good debut, particularly in the first half, he made us tick, his passing and reading of the game is top class. I thought he was a very good player for Arsenal when he first broke through as a 16 year old 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't express how exited I am to see an Aston Villa player take several decent corners and free kicks would have had at least one assist today if we had a goalscorer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 So nice to have a midfielder that: a) wants the ball b] doesn't hide c) moves when not in possession d) can spot a pass e) makes forward runs f) can switch the play g) has speed of thought h) can take a decent corner i) can tackle We haven't had one of these for years. Yes he tired and should've been taken off earlier but as debuts go, that was a good one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 He moved at a throw in! Hallelujah! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 He was decent, but I think some of this ^ is a bit rose-tinted specs to be hinted. I did like his corners, but his free kicks were abysmal. He was central to many of the good things we did in the first half, but he went totally missing in the second. I'm not in any way saying it was a bad performance, or saying that he won't be a good player for us, but I think anything more than a 6/10 is being too generous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
