He’s been a lot better than adomah He’s maybe shown more quality now and then than Adomah but I’d much rather have a player that gives his all than a passenger that can show the odd glimpse of quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 not making the bench i get, i think kodjia's ability to play up top or wide means he gives us more options than him, bolasie is probably ahead of him anyway and then kodjia covers 3 positions compared to his 2 but then the decision to start elmo and adomah is the question (which elmo has done well to be fair to him, covers hutton and gets forward well, not hoofed anything) i would have bolasie starting, this guy on the bench and adomah in the stands personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolasie and El Anwar are way off the pace. Makes perfect sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairy In Boots Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 It will always take its toll, hence more attack minded subs to press higher up the pitch. Good start from Smith I like the direction he’s taking us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good movement off the ball for attacks in the first half and pressed well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted October 20, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 20, 2018 Still early days I think, for both El Ghazi and Bolasie. Something does seem slightly off about this signing though (El Ghazi). Just in how he came, got an assist, a goal then not really seen again. I wonder if we’ll see what happens in January with them both. If it turns out Smith doesn’t rate them and there’s scope for terminating the loans, I don’t think there will be any hesitation. Still a long way off yet though. Hoping both come good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three months from now Bolasie will be tearing up this division. Remember fans were still saying Snodgrass was a terrible signing well past this time last year and he did ok. El Ghazi I haven’t seen enough of but hope he comes good as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they look like costly mistakes that took the money we should've spent on decent defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Dean Smith learns this. I am not one for Brucey defensive wingers whose priority is to help out the fullback first but there has to be some balance. Kodjia just doesn't have the brain to play there. If I was left back I would be more occupied screaming at Kodjia to be honest than doing my own job.

villalad21 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I'd have this guy on the bench ahead of Hogan. And have Kodjia as backup for Abraham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
