There was a story going around that Pochettino wasn't impressed with his attitude upon returning from the U20 World Cup(where he was one of the standout performers), apparently Onomah came back a little too confident and that was one of the deciding factors in allowing him to go on loan. I do still think that you're not even seeing half the player I hope you don't sell him as I don't want him here after this season. In too many games now we are not seeing him at all. I can see the attitude thing coming back from U23 being all Charlie big potatoes and then slapped down to earth very heavily. Personally I do not think we are going to see him change anytime soon and the only person doing damage here is himself to his own career led by the attitude that we see too much of in today's game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 With CC being such a tiny place my seat in row 3 wasn't far from the touch line ... so from my view point of being about 10 feet away from him , there was a ball that came into him that the Fulham player was committed to and was going to always draw a foul ( like a sort of Alan Hutton tackle where you win the ball but you also take a bit of the man with it ) ... Onomah managed to avoid that situation by simply pulling out of the tackle and Fulham came out with possession for a ball they should never have won and that seems to sort of sum him up for us , I just don't think he'd committed to the cause and I'd rather not see him in the shirt again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I came to that conclusion totally against Peterborough where he gave the ball away or was dispossessed and just stood there or the numerous games he has come on in recently fresh as a daisy and just walked around whilst we are trying desperately to see a game out. Get rid of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I don’t think he’s a bad player, just not a left winger or number 10 and doesn’t have the investment in Villa or true motivation for the cause that is needed right now. He’s playing like a ringer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilko154 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Once again we scapegoat a player... He was poor on Saturday, but then he was playing in a position that doesn't suit him. He's a centre midfielder however we barely ever play him there which is why we don't see the best from him. With Grealish out tomorrow we need to play him through the middle to carry the ball forward for us. Granted he's not as good as Grealish but he's our best option for this currently, especially with O'Hare looking unlikely to be in the squad. If we play someone like Lansbury or Jedinak with Bjarnasson then the team is too defensive and we struggle to get out. Onomah started the season really well for us but he has been limited to 10/20 minute spells here and there, or being played in the completely wrong position, left wing, striker etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point doing something fancy then losing it and sranding around looking to blame someone else. Not scape goating, its seeing everyone else busting a gut and him mincing around.

Should we play a Midfield 3 of Snodgrass Bjarnason Grabban With Lansbury playing the AMC role? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 He doesn't play central midfield because you need to actually run in there and put in challenges. There is a reason Bruce has refused to even try him there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has had ample appearances, far more than is given to our own youngsters, and has not grasped the chance. It is only scapegoating if it is unfair, in his case it is very fair. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meregreen Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Not good enough to hold back our own young talent to accommodate a Spurs player of the same age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 He was excellent up to about Chrismas and has done very little since. I hope he can put in a few more decent performances before he goes back to spurs but looks a bit lost imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 He reminds me of that kid on the school yard who owns the ball and will only play with his friends and how he wants, if things change they take their ball home. He obviously wants to play as a box to box midfielder, but he isnt good enough, so gets pushed higher up or to the bench. He doesn’t like this so throws his toys out and doesn’t try.
