itdoesntmatterwhatthissay Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Missed the game but good to hear he played well. I liked his confidence on the ball in the previous game, we definitely need that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 A much better option than Amavi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Did well until Amavi came on and they started running into each other , but that happens when you have 4 full backs on the pitch at the same time !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who were the four full backs? Bjarnasson suddenly a right back now? Or are we classing Bacuna as a full back even though he was up front? I get that Bruce has been negative but let's not make things up! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Looks ok but seems to be incredibly lightweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) He works really hard, my main gripe, and this is from his Wrexham days and following of Wales too, is that he can give too much space to the wide man. He narrows the gap well when they shape up to cross but it does allow over-laps and loose tackles a lot.

It's an exaggeration for comic effect but based reasonably enough in historical precedent ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 How about this exaggeration... Before Bacuna got sent off, we were playing with 7 midfielders! Super attacking Bruce going for the win, in Barcelona style! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super attacking Bruce going for the win, in Barcelona style! Ignoring the exaggeration slightly and making a general observation. We were winning and I guess what he did was try to preserve our only fit striker for Tuesday night. Back on topic it is nice to see a decent LB in a Villa shirt who knows how to defend.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Lol at this thread. Reading back a couple of pages - terrible signing, the new Alan Hutton etc etc. Now - Good signing, nice to have a left back who can defend etc etc. Absolute classic Villa Talk. I thought he has been OK all round. Nothing more. Pretty much as expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I'm frightened to say......so I'll whisper it behind my hand.....I think he's ok on first showings. not as timid as Amavi has got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
