Agreed, should have done better with that break down the left. Yep, pretty much this. He definitely brings energy to the team but his end product needs some work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 **** useless. 2 big chances towards the end, wastes a fantastic ball from Onomah and then can't stay onside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 He would be pretty far down my list of players that I would like to see playing left mid - shame we didn't bring someone in really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted August 25, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) Ooh I've had my player appraisal quoted (albeit in a derisory way) but I've been quoted! edit to elaborate I was trying to be succinct as I was doing something else and I ended up sounding like Tim Sherwood. Like I said, I wouldn't have brought him on in the first place. But when he came on, I think he showed plenty of energy going forward, always wanted the ball, made a decent interception. He looked like he had a bit more confidence about him. A bit more vigour. Yes he should have done better with that one towards the end, agreed. I wouldn't start him. I'm not sure I'd have him on the bench even. I don't feel at all convinced he has any worth as a utility player. I don't think he is going to be the difference between promotion and failure. I just feel he wasn't "absolutely terrible" tonight. Edited August 25, 2017 by Shropshire Lad to elaborate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah totally agree, he has great ability and at times in the game it was like you wanted him to go into that bursting run and cut in and create something, but ran into danger and ended up going backwards instead. Work on crossing and an end product and we will have a good attacking midfielder on our hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This! Can't believe some are saying he was good. Didn't even attempt a shot from the Onomah pass because he has the strength of a toddler the way he got muscled off the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottingVilla Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Barndoorson is our worst player since Tonev which is quite an achievement given the crap we've had in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsworthvilla Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Looked pretty decent to me. Green was clearly tired, he hadn't had an impact for a while before Bruce brought him off. Birkir came on and had good energy, made some good forward runs, helped push their defence back. OK he was marginally offside for one through ball, but hardly makes him the worst player to play for Villa in years ! Some of the hyperbole here is ridiculous. He was only on the pitch for 15 minutes. How could he have been THAT bad? It was also less than a week ago he scored and had an assist in a 4-1 win. I suppose he was terrible then as well? Or there is some reason why that performance doesn't count? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Adomah on the left would have been much better. Bjarnason offers no quality and no end product, he had a great chance to deliver into Hogan and he held onto the ball far too long and lost it. He really doesn't have much ability at all. He might be more suited to a more advanced central role, on the flanks he looks very poor indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
