HanoiVillan Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Most classic 'Bjarnason moment' was putting a bad corner into the box in injury time, then receiving the ball back and crossing, failing to beat the first man, before receiving the ball back and crossing again and failing to beat the first man again. I thought he was pants, and not just for that sequence. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was pants, and not just for that sequence. I think I counted that he gave the ball away three times in as many minutes in the second half. He's absolutely gash. Playing him because he isn't Whelan and 'can run' is absolutely the wrong idea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 1 hour ago, lexicon said: Just the 88% pass completion. Right. As I have said in numerous other threads, I thought the midfield three were very poor. Some passing astray, getting caught out numerous times- first goal was a clear indication of this although was a fair strike. Got no particular dislike of Birkir and think he could still be useful for us but he needs to be a lot better than he showed against QPR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still haven't identified a type of game where I think 'yes, this is one for Bjarnason to have a go'. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turvontour Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Bit of a meh player. Those two consecutive crosses that hit the blocker late on yesterday were inexcusable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 2, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 2, 2019 Ironically I think he does a lot of short easy passing that people complain about other players doing. There seems to be a myth that Bjarnason will pick out threaded through balls and set up chances. I'm yet to see him do that to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USA_Villa Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Very poor the weekend. I don't see him fitting in to this side long term. Not quick enough, not sharp enough and not clever enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 He’s not very good is he! Shows how poor the standard is at international level. Right now he looks out of his depth at championship level. Game is too quick for him, constantly a yard away from getting a good challenge in, slow and clunky in possession. He’s a clogger and nothing else. League One is full of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avcol Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Shocking. Poor in possession, slow and clumsy. Nowhere near good enough and never has been. I cannot believe our options are him or Whelan. It's a tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Ship him off to Asos and give him a modelling contract. A complete non-entity who is not fit to wear the shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 The ball just pings off him - no first touch ability at all. That booking incident was hilariously bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 The amount of players we have signed who look awkward with the ball is staggering, is it any wonder we struggle with possession football. They all treat it like a hot potato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Ive an idea.... stick him, Taylor, Whelan and Hourihane together to make one player. Actual no that wouldn’t make a player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USA_Villa Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Honestly, he should never ever play for Villa again. I said it two weeks ago, he is lazy, slow and is just not sharp enough to play the fast paced game that Dean wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
