Stevo985 Posted January 5, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 5, 2019 I’d say he’s almost guaranteed a start. I still can’t see him contributing much this season, but if he has any chance then he needs a good performance today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Don't rate him one bit. Hope he can do something though as we could really do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) Him or kodjia for the rest of the season. I imagine we will rotate both as neither will play well consistently. Edited January 5, 2019 by villa89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I've seen plastic bags make more of an impact than this guy. What a colossal waste of money. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd actually rather have a semi sober Ross McCormack over this twun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 5, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 5, 2019 Assuming we don't miraculously come back and win this game, this could be his last ever start for the club. Even without Abraham I'd have him 3rd in line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Couple of nearly through moments in first half. Very much a confidence player, he has none. Tracked back well, which isn't his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Such a stupid buy from Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 No chance he'll fill the Tammy void. That early chance Abraham buries and well missed chances change games. Today was a big red flag. Rely on our existing options to try to replace Tammy and we won't finish top 6. If you lose a top striker you need to go out and find another one, either from premier league or abroad. We should've learnt this from Benteke leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avcol Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I've been one of those to defend him in the past, had mates bash him but I've always said he makes the clever runs, we haven't used him effectively etc etc. My patience however is now totally gone. Thought after Jan/Feb last season where he chipped in with a few goals maybe we'd start to see the best of him but he hasn't been able to kick on, injuries or no injuries. You might as well have a broom up front. In a situation where he has to take his chances he simply must put that sitter away in the first half but he's volleyed it straight at the keeper from six yards. He isn't anywhere near involved enough in games and most of it seems to pass him by. Granted they are different players, but look at the impact Davis made in 20 minutes compared to Hogan in 70. It isn't going to happen for him at Villa and I don't think excuses can be made anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammy Abraham should be blasting us to promotion....instead of that, he was just keeping the wheels on and making our results look respectable...much the same with Jack...we have wasted the talent with poor players around them. These players are no fools....they know, the others are dining out on them. We need a clear out....how we do it I have no idea, but there are too many sub standard players in our squad masquerading as promotion hopefuls....we also have too many players with the same attributes and lacking in area's that no one can cover.

Look I can think of 2 small forwards who was able to make up for their size.....Craig Bellemy and David Speedie....not only were they quick, they were tenacious and scrapped for everything...they ratted for their opportunities. Scott is passive and trots around aimlessly, no drive....a decision has to be made with players like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
