AntrimBlack Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 He's great. Love his aggressive streak, and he does not like to get beaten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tomaszk Posted January 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2020 Smith always makes a point of saying how much Hourihane moans when he's not in the team. Well the answer Conor, is that you serve up shite like that every time we aren't dominating a match. Every single time. Fred never hides. He always tries. Puts a shift in getting forward and actually tries to tackle and block crosses. He should be right into the manager tomorrow to see what the hell is going on and how he can possibly be out of the side when Elmo and Taylor are picked? I want him on the pitch every minute of the league season. Neil Taylor ffs. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunnski Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 He must be struggling with his fitness because to not play him today was crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Since he's our best full back or wing back by a distance, it's very surprising that he didn't play. Hopefully he plays in every game from now to the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 When you have a player with Fred's attitude, you really should be asking him "who do you think is a great player we could go and get" because I'm sure he looks at the qualities he has and recognises players who ate better with those same qualities. As in the will to win, the never give up, determined and physically fit enough to run all game. We have just 1 of those types and that is fred. We need 3 or 4 playing in each game.

Our outfield players with this are limited. Jack, Mings, Guilbert, McGinn for his faults I think Wesley has similar attitude. The rest are lacking 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn tries but maybe 1 tackle per game. Jack doesnt tackle and tou dont expect the play maker to do all the dirty work. We need 3 or 4 Fred's in our team as in that type of player. Then it leaves the rest to do something with or without the ball, knowing theres a good chance the ball will be won. With no ball winners there is no movement just reactive rather than proactive. Reactive you are always a step behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Wezbid Posted January 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2020 One of the better players as per usual. Not sure why he gets hooked for some games. If the other players had his heart and energy we'd be a good few points better off. He's a decent footballer to go with that heart and energy. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 He looked a bit broken. Definitely didn't have usual zip. My MOTM. Magnificent effort always, leads the press, goes and effing tackles people, doesn't stand off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) 7 tackles today nearly double the entire teams effort in the last game. Progressive with nice interplay with el ghazi, defensive duties still done and despite being slower than trossett or what ever his name is, didnt sulk and shrug his shoulders. Another good performance, we have a good right back at last. Edited January 18, 2020 by brummybloke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I really like him. Although he seems to have lost a tad of pace. He looked rapid when he first joined, feel like he struggles to catch people now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picks his fullbacks and CM pairing out of a hat I am sure of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Genius decision by Smith to rest him in City game. Need him for the key battles Edited January 18, 2020 by Kiwivillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We made 15 tackles vs City. This is based on the bullshit stick BBC had about our midfielders only making 4 tackles. So **** what. Did they do stat for Spurs attacking 6 players only making 5 tackles against Watford today? Or Everton mid 3 only making 3 tackles in 2-1 loss to City? No it was just to give us an extra kicking and sounds terrible to people that probably never ever pay attention to number of tackles made in game by midfield Edited January 18, 2020 by Kiwivillan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Thought the first 45 was his worst in a Villa shirt by some distance. They seemed to be getting through down his side time and time again. Recovered well as did the team in the second half so fair play to him. Got a good character for sure.

The rigours of a first PL season? Still love his attitude and will-to-win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
