Keyblade Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 He somehow reverted to an even worse version of himself from last year, which I didn't think was possible. Seems to be another hit hard by covid as he was a completely different player before his injury this season. He was dare I say it, kind of good?

Honestly wonder if Luiz was one of the players like Trez who was impacted the most. His performances pre and post the January stoppage have been night and day. It's time to let Trez go now. There's always interest from Turkey in him it seems so he can end up back there for what we paid more or less. Would actually be good in these situations to have some sort of link up with another euro club when you see Watford just moving on players to Udinese and Granada constantly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if Barkley had it too. He just looks spent, beyond what you could say is a lack of fitness. We know Targett had it but luckily he seems at pretty much the same level.

Villa should listen to offers for him. Did we pay about £9million? I'd say if we can get £12-15million for him then sell him. His stats in the PL are 53 appearances, 6 goals, 3 assists. He probably should have scored 12 considering he has missed at least 6 great chances. WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET 12-15 MILLION FOR HIM 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosopher Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) I remember when Guardiola mentioned that Villa have good players, he mentioned Jack and Barkley and he also mentioned Trez, he is a good player. Trez isn't the typical pacy winger, or a magician like Jack. It's unfair to judge his performances according to a criteria that doesn't take his game's features into account. His running off the ball between the lines, pressing and support he provides his teammates, as well as his knack of popping up at the back stick is what Trez is all about, as well as good link up play. Trez's running off the ball and the work he puts in was making the 4-2-3-1 as effective as it was when we where flying high before Christmas. True his finishing has been woeful this season, however the rest of his game pre-covid breakout was very good and everyone one on here was rightly very happy with him. He game is about movement and workrate. He injured his hamstring and then got covid. So obviously this is going to impact him heavily. The last match he made some good runs and looked quite lively in the first half, but faded in the second half. Let's be clear he isn't the most talented winger you'll see, but his qualities were instrumental to our good form in those first 13 games. I feel like he is being made a scapegoat as Taylor hasn't had a game! Most of the criticism levelled at Trez has been unfair. He has only had 2 or 3 starts since his injury. This poor run of form the team is going through simply isn't his fault. Edited March 30, 2021 by Philosopher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolta Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) I don't get how people can watch us and say he's good enough for the Premier League. He has never shown anything but the opposite. Players like Trezeguet are the reason we were fighting relegation last year and the fact he kicked the ball in the net a few times (while doing nothing else) doesn't change that. I still have nightmares of Samatta and Trezeguet losing the ball every time they got it. Thanks for those goals though, and he tries hard.

Vive_La_Villa Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) I think his poor performances stand out when the whole team play poorly. At the start of the season he wasn’t amazing but he was working really hard and having the odd decent moment. The poor parts of his game were still there but forgotten because we were winning. Now we are losing and the whole team are struggling, his limitations really stand out. Edit: The same applies to AEG.

The Fun Factory Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Moving forward I think we can do better. Look he didn't cost a lot, tries hard and has scored a few goals, and will probably be gone in the summer at probably the same value. We had a squad to get promoted, then we have had a squad to keep us up (just) and now we need a squad to seriously challenge for the European spots. I have seen a lot of other Villa signings do worse things than that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed to have figured out what he was capable of and what he wasn't. He wasn't trying to blow by players with his nonexistent pace, or try some extravagant controls. At the time I put it down to him being more used to the pace of the league and being in a settled team. I think Covid messed all that up and he's back to square 1 and how he was last season.

You can clearly see he is giving it his all and he is frustrated that nothing is coming off for him. However, if you have watched us over the last 10 games or so, I don't see how anyone could judge that view as unfair?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
