In fact when we talk CM, he has been miles better and offering more That's just not true. His absence in our good run has been telling. How many games has he played this season without looking? I swear people have this imaginary view of Lansbury Edited February 24, 2018 by Kiwivillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratvillan Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I saw Lansbury last outing at home to Peterborough. Awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not mutually exclusive. Lansbury has been consistently shit in a Villa shirt. It's the same old nonsense that bad player gets better in some minds the longer they don't play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually he was in the team and playing well up to our good run, before getting injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Seems to have lost his dm position to Whelan and a fit Jedinak. Personally against wolves I would put him back in there. His mobility against their midfield will be far more effective than Jedinak who won’t be able to keep up with them.

Energy is needed and we just cant go 2 dm from the start. BB passes normally better, runs harder, tracks back more than Jedi We need to look for the win from the off as trying to soak it up and catch them on the break for a 1 nil win is not going to work.

I guess BB "runs harder". But I CERTAINLY disagree with BB passes better. That's not true at all, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning a header but then losing possession is something that will keep happening against wolves if we go with jedi. Their midfielders pass and move and unless we have energy in the dm role we will be cut through time after time. Dont get me wrong, i think BB has been dog dirt in any position bar dm however he releases the ball quicker and it tends to stay on the floor, something when we do we do it well and starts off attacks. He like our other dm options are prone to holding the ball too long and then making a woeful pass however he has the speed and energy to recover from it where as jedi doesnt. Free kicks are another worry as anything around 25 yards from goal they will have a pop, i can see jedi getting played for free kicks far more than BB in this game. Jedi for all his strengths is a ball winner and strong tackler but offers little else against skillful pacey midfielders who are all composed on the ball. Having someone able to release it and then keep up with play gives us a more attacking dm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Reminds me of a goal Stoichkov scored at Euro 96 (against Romania I think it was), pick it up outside the box, get from A to B as quickly as possible and a powerful toe poke almost through the keeper, great goal.

ciggiesnbeer Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Great goal. Drove through 5 wolves players then scored from distance while still surrounded, oh and beat the keeper at his near post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
