Makes Djemba Djemba look composed and technical. Isaiah Osbourne, Micah Richards, Alex Tonev, Chris Samba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 The bit where he tried to control a throw in their box and it went out for a goal kick, pretty much sums his ability up. Tries hard though, but just bereft of the quality required for this level. Should be moved on in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praisedmambo Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Not good enough for this level at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danishlad Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Worked hard, Nice cut back for Drinkwater. Played his part. Acceptable today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I like him. He's always positive and always looks to do something - doesn't sulk or mope around. The right kind of attitude at least in this sort of situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Also, noticed today that he stayed on his feet a lot more. Edited January 18, 2020 by lexicon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Good player. Love his commitment to and willingness to run himself into the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bit where he skinned three of their players and placed it perfectly for Drinkwater to have a shot on goal from just inside the area can be cited from the opposite perspective. And that’s the situation right now, inconsistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enda Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 28 minutes ago, HanoiVillan said: Did Samba actually reach 10 appearances? Yep! Twelve matches. He even scored one, according to Wiki. Memory is biased. Think back on Villa players, and you're much more likely think of James Milner and Paul McGrath than Karim El Ahmadi and Habib Beye. We remember the stand-outs and forget the dozens and dozens of very average players who made good money at our club. Mahmoud hasn't adjusted to the league yet. He may never will. (I think there's a much better player in there than he's shown us so far, but that remains to be seen.) He wasn't even the worst player on the pitch today, nevermind the worst to ever pull on the jersey. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The right kind of attitude at least in this sort of situation. I agree with you. People are so keen to jump on his lack of quality but he needs to be given time to adapt to the hardest league in the world. At the very least, this guy tries is damndest to do something positive.

Skruff Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Was out most positive player in large parts of the game today. He works hard, and he's usually involved in the chances/goals created. Clumsy at times yes, but puts in a good shift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 exasperatingly incompetent nincampoop, but tries hard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Has moments of brilliance and a lot of dross. He is far too lightweight for this league at the moment. If he gets some core strength he could make it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I think after a years experience of this league, Trez will start getting better. You can at least see glimpses of a decent player there. Not the worst I've seen in a Villa shirt. Played decent today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Although I don't particularly rate the guy, I find it difficult to be too critical of anyone that works hard and has a good positive attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 He's the sort of player you would expect a team like us to have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Attacking wise, today is an odd one for people to be critical, he certainly is not my favourite player, team work wise does very little to help when we dint have the ball, wont press wont chase the majority of the time but attacking wise was decent. Unfortunately we cant afford more than one player in our team like that and we have 4 or 5 which is our downfall at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
