'Must do better' Sounds more like an assessment of my old girlfriends than a school report. I'd go with 'has obvious talent, needs to work on his confidence and start contributing more in class' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted July 31, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2017 To all you... frustration on my part... I had high hopes for him, but he just doesn't produce anything. And no, I don't hate him, I just want him to do better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 7 goals and 14 assists last season is very impressive for a player that contributes nothing most assists in the division by a distance 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted July 31, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2017 I really hope it clicks for him in open play. His set pieces are superb. Needs to have confidence to get into the box more and to pull the trigger from outside the box. He scored some absolute belters at Barnsley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killeen30 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I got him on the back of the new home shirt, kiss of death. So if he has a bad season it's nothing to do with anyone but me, just blame me haha! I've a bad record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think you have bad luck, the last 2 players I got on the back of my shirts were Bacuna and Westwood. I haven't even bought a shirt since, let alone got a name on the back, for fear of ruining someone's life whilst wasting £70. I don't know what's worse. I fear Hourihane may now be cursed, along with Lansbury, with the VillaTalk "let's choose a new position for a player". He's not a number 10, he shouldn't be playing there. If we want the best out of our players we need to start playing to their strengths rather than shoehorning them all into positions on the pitch that suit a couple of their attributes.

Craig Gardner. Martin Laursen (his last season when he retired half way through, legend though). Gabby Agbonlahor (his last semi decent season, ALONG time ago). Stan Petrov (the season he got ill, still so much love for him though). Brett Holman (started decent, a trier but terrible). Gary Gardner (after his goal against the scum last season). I am sorry about Hourihane. I know I should have picked Gabby or Hutton, but I couldn't bring myself to and I'm desperate for Hourihane to do well! But yeah Bacuna and Westwood?!

osmark86 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 The guy has got a killer shot in him. I'd like to see him shoot a lot more this season. He's possibly the best man in our squad in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was starting to do this for a spell of a few games in March, scored, forced an OG and missed a couple of chances himself, but he was getting into good positions, then Bacuna's suspension ended I've still got high hopes for him.

AVTuco Posted August 1, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 1, 2017 All you guys say is true. He just needs to convert it in a Villa shirt. Until then, I'm disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Just now, AVTuco said: Think the player has some responsibility too, eh? maybe but all depends on his instructions. 1st few games he was played on right of midfield when he is clearly left footed. Maybe he isnt allowed be as adventurous as Barnsley allowed him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TrentVilla Posted August 1, 2017 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2017 Just like Hogan and Lansbury, a player that was playing really well when he arrived yet so far has failed to find anything close to the same level of form or performance. I don't personally think that is a coincidence. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
