That season we signed McCormack, Lansbury, Hogan and Hourihane and I doubt any was watched and only Hourihane has done well here In my opinion, Lansbury and Hogan could still do well here 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Willard Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Maybe DS could coach him to become a deep lying playmaker. If you asked Bruce to do that he would respond with, what's a playmaker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Reports suggest DS likes to commit men forward and from what I've seen of Lansbury he can pass and move and doesn't mind a ping at goal from range. Lansbury would have to step it up a notch or three and show what he brings to the table if he's to displace Grealish, McGinn or Hourihane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Lansbury is a confidence player who needs his ego massaged, not saying he deserves that and his work ethic and attitude need a improving, but he can def do more in a Villa shirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 To play in a passing side, even at the base you need to be constantly.on the move, constanty shifting, dropping off, being in the right place to intercept or win the ball, on your toes all the time. The best players make it look easy. Lansbury can't run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always struck me as a player who thinks he's alot better than he actually is. He probably still thinks he should be playing for arsenal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can kick a ball as sweet as a nut, he can play and see passes other players can't, but he's a lazy son of a bitch. He plays when he wants. He's got dirt in him, he likes a niggle at other players, but as soon as the going gets tough, he's a hider. He has a lot of technical ability, he can play the game, but he never gets stuck in enough, he never busts his gut enough to get into positions, he just glides around, being ineffective. He should be able to boss games in this league because other players in the league don't have his technical ability, but he just doesn't have to drive or determination to make him anything other than an expensive luxury player. He certainly shouldn't be played as a CDM, because he's so lethargic. He's the epitome of someone at school who is brilliant when he gets the ball, but off it, he just couldn't care less. It's a shame really. A lot of "he's" in there ain't there? Not a lot to correct then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with people that Bruce doesn't know how to utilise a player properly but for all the times I've watched and checking stats 23 games +60 mins mostly AM according to transfermarkt I don't think he'll force himself into starting line up.

KenjiOgiwara Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I bit off topic, but the signing of the scottish lad seems very much like a Smith'esque move. I honestly wonder if there's more to that than we know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
