Farlz Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 He's so frustrating. 1st half was a mess but 2nd half he wasn't too bad. He really had to put that chance that he blazed over on target though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) You know what, people (Myself included) talk shite about him. However today, more than ever, you realise he basically has to be playing as a bloody midfielder to try and help something happen ffs! How TF is he supposed to so a strikers job?

sharkyvilla Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 There have been plenty of games where he has been detrimental to the team. I still think there is a lot of potential with him but the key with players who are developing is knowing when to leave them out. Problem is we can't do that really with the other personnel in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse thing is we’ve got an International break too You think i'm enjoying this? I'm not bashing him to troll. I genuinely think he is an awful footballer. January will be massive.

Chindie Posted November 10, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted November 10, 2019 He's a flawed player still getting up to speed with a much more tough league in a weak side. We absolutely shouldn't be relying on him and it's obvious we still don't really know how to play with him. First half today he was on a hiding to nothing as we just couldn't make anything. Second half he showed flashes of his ability, but not really where we needed him. He used to play as a midfielder and you can kinda tell, he likes to drop back more than a striker really would. We really **** up not getting someone else to carry the burden. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoMkali Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Disappointed in villa talk. No one really passed the ball to him so of course he struggled. Constant blaming and scapegoating of him is ridiculous. Poor passing to him hardly his fault. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about that time someone passed the ball to him with acres of space and he blasts the ball off target? What about that time someone passed the ball to him for a tap in and he isn't able to reach it before the Wolves defender? The man actually had service this time, not sure how many times he has to fail before you start to think maybe the fault lies somewhat on him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you know what every week people are saying it is like playing with 10 players. Yeah he missed the target but why weren't people complaining about mcginn doing that the first 8 weeks of the season. And the ball he missed from trez he made a brilliant run across and the ball was very awkward straight at him so to hit the target he had to try and awkwardly hit it and he missed the ball. I'm not sure why he has revived so much blame today when he has shown his finishing is actually quite good before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did his other roles in midfield well in the first 8 weeks of the season as well as having more goals than Wesley did for most of those 8 weeks, prior to the Norwich match. Also, another interesting statistic. In the last 4 matches, Wesley has had 5 shots on goal in total. Only one of those has actually hit the target. Wesley has been averaging, 1.25 shots per game and only 1/5th of those shots even hit the target, much less become a goal.

Funny because wesley has had 22 shots scored 4 goals and scores 18% of the time when he shoots so if he is hitting the target 1/5 of the time he is scoring 90% of those shots. And once again it isn't Wesley's fault he is having so few shots it is our team not getting him the ball in the middle of the pitch or in dangerous positions.

villalad21 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 And 50 % of those goals came against Norwich. Unfortunately we don't play Norwich every week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I used to love watching Abraham last season. Every time the ball went into the box he’d pounce and he was on his toes. Whilst not the finished article, he was a goal scorer and he caused so many problems. We might as well not bother putting the ball in the box now. This bloke is flat footed, slow and he’s never where you need him. He just looks disinterested, lazy and a very poor footballer. I’m thoroughly fed up watching him play. Have not disliked a player as much as him in a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
