brummybloke Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Its frustrating for us fans not having him fit and playing, must be far worse for him as he knows what he is capable of. He looks the type we need someone who can control the play and help with a press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 It still sounds just a bit unprofessional and inappropriate, but I'm not exactly shocked that the "giving the finger" looks to be baseless shit stirring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 13 minutes ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: to be fair, this " tantrum " would indicate that he wants to be involved, and feels he could make a difference, in a desperate situation. In Barkleys case, he wanted to stay on because " I'm Ross Barkley, from Chelsea , and i'm doing you a favour by even being here " whilst seemingly putting in minimal effort. I do see how it could appear as double standards though. lol Fair point but to be honest I never had a problem with Barkley being upset about being taken off. No player should want to be substituted when a team is struggling. What was more frustrating about him was he did **** all while he was on the pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 TBH, if I'm Sanson and feel like I'm ready and have watched McGinn's performance in that game, then I'd be very annoyed not to have been given the chance to prove myself. Especially if they'd made me warm up and given me a false sense of hope that I'd get some game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted October 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2021 Think i'd rather have these types of problems, than the likes of Nzogbia bragging about how much he earns for chilling. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't really considered it before but on top of this he's also previously been a near ever-present for a regular enough Champions League qualifying side that have been better than Villa for a long time. He's probably the most proven of all the midfielders at the club all things considered (outside of specifically the Premier League I suppose) so when he's fit to play it presumably adds to the frustration. I think we'll look a lot better when he's in the side for what it's worth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I agree with his tantrum. We were utterly shite on Friday especially in the middle of the park. If he couldn't come on then when will he play? He has nearly wasted a year of his footballing career by barely playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've only qualified for the Champions League once in Sanson's entire time at the club I believe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, good shout! Think I must have conflated that with finishing top 4 which obviously isn't the same in Ligue 1 where the co-efficient is slightly different. Still and all though the point is essentially the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 9 hours ago, Laughable Chimp said: Yeah, this very much feels like double standards. No way to know for sure what went on in Barkley's or Samson's heads and I thinks very harsh on Barkley to assume inwardly he had the mindset of an arrogant diva. Yeah he just wanted to be playing too and seemed angry at himself more than anything. But fans are less charitable to players that aren't there's.

Awol Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I’m glad he was angry, someone running around in CM looking to rip a few arms off is exactly what we need. Hopefully he starts against West Ham, otherwise we could easily get bullied again in the middle. Also he can pass to his own players consistently, which helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 McGinn, Mings and Watkins are Smith's favorites. He is never going to drop any of them. Never. Unless Villa changes to a 3 man midfield Sanson has no chance getting in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're currently playing with a number 10 and he is no DM so there's only one spot for him and that's McGinns spot. Also I think Ramsey is ahead of him in the pecking order. Seem a long way for him into the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I'd love to have been a fly on the wall at the training ground this week. Hopefully they've had a good clear the air meeting, as simmering resentment does no good to anybody. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
