a m ole Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 One of the better performers tonight, not perfect but deserves a chance next to Chester. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Done a good enough job that Jedinak should never be in CB ever again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember him winning one, and he was clearly being targeted with their long balls prior to being subbed. The stats say he won 6 and lost 3 against Wigan. Quite remarkable if you managed to miss all of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted August 14, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2018 Well, I suppose it's better not to judge after one game at CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Liked his distribution from CB tonight. It's sharp and unlike jedinak, finds a villa player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Albert Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Got caught out a fair few times tonight against poor opposition , not going to slate him after one game but dont think he will be the answer at centre back this season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vreitti Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 An altogether promising display tonight, but I fear he'll get outmuscled against the better forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you are wrong although I see your point. Right now we have one good center back in Chester and several unproven or proven bad ones. Worrying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Not great, but a better option tgat Elphick and Jedinak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I'm all for giving him a try saturday, but I hope we have some back up options lined up just in case. If Chester gets injured, we are left with Elphick, Tuanzebe, and Jedinak... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I just didn't see the good performance that other on here seem to have. He worries me. Leaps in and jumps for headers that he's already lost, and too slow in making important decisions. Last season he got robbed dallying on the ball, and this season already he's been outsmarted to a ball that should have been his all day long. I'm sure he'll prove with experience, but he definitely worries me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Good performance tonight and looked tidy. I cannot wait to see him in the tough competitive games alongside Chester and Hutton where he belongs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Thought he was good tonight. He reads the game well, good positioning. He will only get better too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grayslickuk Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 He looks clumsy and naïve. I kept thinking he was gong to misplace passes but they were surprisingly accurate. He did ok I guess. We've basically got one reliable CB in Chester, very worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoughboroughLion Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Although Elphick is his senior and been here longer, it seemed Tuanzebe was the communicator and organiser last night - which is positive. Think being next to Chester will improve his game slightly, and I'm sure he can step up to be the CB we want him to be. Things take time and in three or four games time, I think he'll have settled down and look a lot better. That said, we NEED to get another CB - either JT (please!) or someone in his mould. The season is long and, as other have pointed out, we're an injury away from being in a very worrying position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 He was one of the positives from last night. He will make mistakes occasionally but will also improve each game. Would prefer we sign another centre half but he looks like the alternative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carewjust4u Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 His pace is a very useful asset to have at the back, several times he recovered the position after mistake from taylor et al. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
