VillanousOne Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 we look better without him in the team 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Not good enough for me. I'd rather have a system like Liverpool with no number 10. 1 Sitting midfielder and 2 hard working 8's in front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Coming back from injury and obviously not 100% fit. Looks a bit slow, in his head as much as in his feet. Needs to do a lot more to convince me he is worth to spend money on to sign. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I just don't get how he's *this* unfit. He missed a few games, but he's been back for nearly as long as he was out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 **** dreadful. Play el ghazi or trez with Jack in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I think he has to be benched on Saturday. He'll be an absolute disaster against Southampton unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwi1890 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Lazy and dwelling on the ball, needs to be dropped and work his way back into contention 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Awful tonight, but a real error from Smith to leave him on so long when he was making so little contribution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul33 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 He is way off the pace and to be frank, Villa are better than giving game time for one of Chelsea's under-performers. A few fancy flicks is all you get from Ross ..... doesn't defend at all, bottles out of tackles and is simply not worth the shirt. Get Sanson in or Nakamba and send him back to Chelsea ..... please !

villalad21 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 He is acting like he is the star of the team. Just needs to make things simple. Work hard and stop try doing that fancy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just him, I noticed BOTH him and Traore lacked that little bit extra piece of aggression and workrate. There were a few balls both of them could have gotten to but chose to leave. I know he isn't full fit but this isn't encouraging right now. Nor is it wort anything near 30 - 40 mill.

avfc1982am Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 To be fair to him I don't think he's fit. I don't care what's in his contract though or how much he's on, we cannot afford to carry someone in his role. The central three got overrun continually in the second which meant continual pressure on the CBs. At least 5 times I watched him get breezed passed while just idling. Not good enough. Personally I think he's very much a 1 in 4 player and has been for a couple of years. I've had this arguement with mates before about him. Great on his day but that only comes once a month if he plays. I like him but we need more than what he's showing. Much more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I don't buy that. I agree Traore is lacking in his defensive game but as times gone on you can see him trying hard and his performances have improved. Barkley is the polar opposite. He just has no interest in the "dirty work" and when you're playing at Burnley that's just inexcusable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right, its just easier to want to nit pick at everything given such a gutting result ain't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Bring in Sanson on Saturday. Don't buy Barkley. Spend the money elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I thought he was alright personally first half. Maybe could've scored but it was a difficult chance on his weaker foot. Second half he did flag again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
