villalad21 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I don't understand the point in playing him. He has no future here. Won't improve. We are looking to sell him. Surely it only makes sense for some of the young guns to play ahead of him today? Can't believe he is still playing competitive games for us.

M_Afro Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I saw the ref overtaking him at least twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam-AVFC Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 When it becomes obvious we wont be able to get anyone to take his wages we might as well melt him down for glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 He has got talent but my god he is slow. I never realised just how slow until I saw him "sprinting" back. Would do well in a much slower league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like a good lad and has done well in the cups before. You start disrespecting senior pros and picking kids who haven't kicked a ball ahead of them you end up with a Lambert situation and a dead dressing room. Though Henri needs to go. This much is true. For his sake and ours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 There’s nothing to say about Henri that hasn’t been said. He’s done but his wages are so high that no one will pick him up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted September 15, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2020 Send on loan to the highest bidder for the percentage of his wages, leaves next year as a free agent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) It's not often you see a good Review these days on Lanso is it? Now does this sound like pure Lansbury, have aliens taken him and abducted and replaced or had Smith managed to get a tune? Questions and Questions. Well guys here it is: Showcased a beautiful range of passing in the first half, lovely Hollywood cross-field passes to find Grealish on a number of occasions. It was Lansbury's ball which started Villa's equaliser as his quick switch allowed Villa to out-number Burton before Watkins finished. Lansbury had a decent night's work and it was his perfectly-weighted corner that found Grealish to strike home the winner. Assisted again for Davis late on.

Where you getting these reviews from mate I think he was trademark Lansbury, good passing range, awful engine. This doesn’t cut it in Prem. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn’t cut it in Prem. I'm just getting them about the net. I didnt watch the game so it will be good to see how spot on they are or how much crap they are. Wonder how the people on VT who watched the game will review or if they see any similarities between the review I posted from the net to there side of it.

villa89 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Just like drinkwater he can't move and you can't survive as a midfielder if you are operating at half the speed of everyone else. He's been a dreadful signing and it was very predictable he wouldn't be a good signing. At least he'll be gone at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really has got great feet, if 1980s south american football still existed he could be one of those foot on the ball central midfielders, got great vision, good first touch and fantastic range of passes. Just that he's never, ever, going to beat a prem player to the ball, sometimes he intercepts well by reading the game well but he's never going to beat anyone over 20 yards to win it for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Does he try hard enough? Doesn’t come across as the most motivated or determined bloke... maybe his injuries have affected his character? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Thought he played well last night but in an ex pro playing in an exhibition match alongside paddy kielty kinda way. He can spray it about really well with real panache but is so so immobile. And then you realise he is only 29! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I thought he did alright, passing was very good. As you say doesn’t have an engine. cant see why he can’t be used for a 60+ minute sub to try and make an impact. hes not Luiz but he’s a player worth using in cup runs to give someone a rest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
