Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Very poor again tonight, you would worry about him failing to fulfill his potential now with the quality of coaching he is receiving here. Hopefully the next management team can help rectify the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Very poor start to the season from him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Should be taken out the spotlight he's not been playing well but Gerrard doesn't do common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Gotta feel for the kid, he's being asked to do a job he has no tools to do. It's like asking Jedinak to play CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 He’s never been good when starting matches. His better performances have always been as a sub. I feel it’s the same for Buendia too. We desperately need some midfielders tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevpants Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 He'll develop into a good player but he isn't at the races. Not in a 3 man PL midfield. Too, inexperienced, too naiive and makes way too many bad choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 He's been rubbish this season. I know he's a young lad but he's on a senior contract so he can be criticised; he's way below the level required at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 He's not a CM, he's not in form in any case, but he's not a CM. Best as one of two behind a striker. We have 24 hours to buy 2 CMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, this applies to every single player in the starting 11 at the minute due to what it does to our shape. We could legitimately say the same for anyone. This formation HAS to go Edited August 31, 2022 by May-Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 24 hours to buy 2 CMs. One CM is fine if we kept Luiz who himself isn’t starting. We still have Tim who could do a job, and I don’t think we need another Nakamba or Sanson, both are on par with some of the mentioned potential signings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 He's a runner that plays in a team that plays at a snails pace, and also has to be an auxiliary fullback. Not even Steven Gerrard himself could fulfill that role. They're asking way too much from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Looks at his best when driving forward (obviously) and also arriving in the box at the end of moves. Almost never does the later at the moment as he’s usually covering the full back. His defensive work has dropped alarmingly this season. He’s powder puff in the tackle right now but to be honest that goes for most of first 11 so he’s not alone there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKat Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Been critical of JJ recently but fair play tonight - a very tough match against top opposition so well done to him for a deserved assist and the tireless work he put in. Could be a new role for him on the left of a front 3 or a one off to counter City? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Would JJ be more suited as a Left Winger? Doing a similar role to what Grealish did for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I think he has lacked a little confidence but was good tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
