I suspect there is not a universally agreed and unvontroversual answer to that question. It seems to me Nyland has made some individual blunders but increasingly on here also gets the blame for mistakes by a very shaky defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junxs Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 2 minutes ago, TrentVilla said: Yes point score, it is exactly what you’ve been doing in my view. I called him a coward, strong word and harsh perhaps but I think he lacks the mental toughness required to play on England because he isn’t brave enough to come and take the ball as has been shown game after game. That isn’t abuse, it is no different to Saying a player bottles tackles like Downing used to or saying a player lacks match intelligence like Hutton. If you don’t want to see players criticised then a football forum for a side in its third season outside the top flight it should be secure in is always going to be challenging for you. Based on you view that Nyland hasn’t made mistakes under Smith we can agree that there is no point in debating the player we worlds apart in our views. Besides he has already been replaced and will soon lose his place. My commiseration I’m working Boxing Day and congratulations on effectively being paid to post on here! 14 hour shift, been on VillaTalk since 7am - run out of likes a few hours ago. watched 4 football matches back to back and got paid double time for doing so. Paid handsomely and scored some points too apparently 3 for the Villa not sure how many for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I think Nyland is fine as a goalkeeper and, thus, as a number two. He’s not great, he’s not terrible - hes incredibly average. Decent shot stopper, decent distribution, very weak on crosses and shaky handling otherwise. Kalinic will rightfully replace him, but I’m happy with him as backup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has made scores of errors this season and has let in more soft goals than any keeper I've ever seen play for us. If people can't see it's because they are utterly clueless about football, it's as simple as that. 41 minutes ago, mikeyp102 said: As others have alluded you are the one kidding yourself.

I categorically said clangers. The original post I was replying to stated he made a clanger in every game.. and thats what I was discussing. I also said in the same post that Nyland isn't a great keeper but was just making the point he's not as terrible as some on here think. I havent edited my post or anything so just please go back and read again.. its not nice calling a fellow poster and villa fan "utterly clueless" etc. Especially this time of year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) He was ok today. A lot more assured and made a great save to earn us 3 points. Well done to him. But he combined with our defence scared the hell out of me whenever a cross comes anywhere near him.

New_Hope Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Thanks for the extra 2 pts today....shame about all the others you let slip away! Just scares the hell out of me when anything goes near him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Nearly saved the penalty against stoke as well - His ghastly fumbles leading to soft goals seem to have reduced - lets not go overboard he's struggling to be adequate at this level - and we have a replacement in the wings - but he's taken a lot of shit - so good for him to go out on a high.....

He is the worst keeper I have ever seen. which game was it he parried in to his own net?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Why is he pronounced as 'Newland' by commentators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 It doesn’t really matter now but I’m sure he handled the ball outside of the area a couple of times. Once when doing a long throw and once when when launching a quick counter. Nit picking officials could have pulled him up in my opinion. He had a good game but makes me nervous.

rayk Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Nyland will be with us until his contract expires i'm sure. And with Kalinic now in I'd say he'll ne a good no.2 , certainly better than Bunn or Steer imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
