HeyAnty Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 His performance was amazing giving the performances of the other 3 along side him and the man sitting in front of him. Not easy when they were all diabolical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted October 3, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 3, 2018 I like his pace and tenacity but needs to develop a bit of coolness when under pressure. It will come with experience. If he had it next to him he would be a different animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bree was far worse for just booting the ball anywhere when it came to him, he was the CB playing out of position of the two easily. Difficult circumstances to come into accepted.

How we haven't been playing him at CB I'll never understand. As for the second half, I find it hard to blame him when the likes of Hutton did their best to pass the ball to Preston at every opportunity and the midfield was all over the place. By the time Preston got to him (over and over again) they'd breezed past half our team. The sub we needed to nullify Johnson came about 40 minutes too late. Yeah you're probably right, it's fair to say I was in a particularly foul mood last night. I haven't been impressed but I was OTT! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I see a lot of potential in him, granted he’s not the finished article yet but as a centre back I think he could be great. He’s probably not going to make it at Man Utd with all the centre backs they’ve got, let’s see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsmithusa Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 He and Chester are the strongest two and should be paired consistently. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) He's definitely better at centre half, but even then he looks a liability, having errors in him and poor positioning, he just isn't a very good player.

AVTuco Posted October 8, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 8, 2018 He's terrible. I hope JT un-retires as soon as he's here. That's our only chance of anything good this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to bring this over from the transfer thread as didn’t want to derail that... It always confuses me when people talk about the potential of Tuanzebe because he’s from Utd. Why is that a higher potential than our own? As far as I’m aware Utd youth team got relegated last season down to the same division as us (and we at least won a cup). Utd had that one team that was phenomenal in the 90s that really filled the first team. Since then, have they produced that many top players who have consistently been first choice?

I think they are responsible for the most academy graduates to play more than a certain amount of Premier League games of any professional academy in England. I think Villa were 6th in that ranking. But I agree with your sentiments. The reality is not many players do make the grade straight from the academy. Of the players involved in our NextGen win over Chelsea back in 2013, only Grealish and Loftus-Cheek look to make a name of themselves, one from each squad. I guess you've caught me out though, I don't know anything about Villa's academy these days. I was just under the assumption that Tuanzebe would be a prospect as we've gone to the effort of loaning him in, so you can understand my assumption that he's going to be good enough to make the grade. The fact he is from United is neither here nor there, but I guess I would point you to my first sentence to understand why I assumed he may have the talent to go places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted October 11, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 11, 2018 I wonder if JT sees him as a central defender and we see him teamed up with Chester for a run of games. If Jedi who most certainly is not a central defender continues you can assume JT doesn't think he's up to it. For me a totally mystifying loan. Should have invested in a reasonably established centre back instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, or possibly because they needed time to sort out the finances/conduct negotiations/appease the EFL etc and that couldn't be done before the end of the window? Just speculating - but we have all seen the trickle of things happening on companies house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
