AVTuco Posted April 30, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2023 He is the surprise element in the final third we have. Thus, we need him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one bad day at the office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 One of the first players we should replace in the summer. Emery plays him every week but probably because we have no other playmaker in the team with Coutinho injured. Buendia just cannot play in a possession team, constantly gives the ball away, and crucially never attempts to win it back. I just don't like him. Yes he may play the occasional nice through ball but he isn't good enough if we want to compete with the big boys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think that he shouldn't have the number 10 on the back of his shirt.. I would like to see him perform better but he just lacks the basics with the ball, just shows flashes.. His best moments were coming off the bench as a rotation player, hopefully we will sign someone in that position so that he can go back to being a rotation player.. He's perfectly fine as a squad player as he has the occasional glimpses of quality, but nowhere near consistent enough throughout 90 minutes so should only be on the bench most weeks. A new number 10 in the summer is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted April 30, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2023 I remember watching Lee Hendrie. Wonderful on the ball, good awareness of what was around him and some lovely link up play. Popped up with the odd screamer too. He used to get bullied off the ball, being a smaller player, especially in the middle of the park. He could be a little inconsistent, but that was mostly when the other team was getting on top in midfield. Oh.. and he used to cop dogs abuse on here. Sound familiar? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Today he was bad and against Fulham he weren’t the best. But he will bounce back, I just want him to stop throwing a strop when things don’t go his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Might be a confidence thing - had two good opportunities to shoot today, but didn't take them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Hendrie is just a long list of players that were lucky to play for this club but lets be honest.. no one speaks of Hendrie as one of the best players to play for the Villa. Just a local lad that made it.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) I think man yoo shackled him very well today. He needed Kamara on the pitch to get the ball to him quicker when he had a yard or two. A bit like Man Yoo with Eriksen and Ratty. They got those two involved quicker. I feel like Dougie isn’t found as quickly and as often as Kamara. Even though he is often in space. Maybe that could have got Emi involved with more freedom that he needed. He does need to get back quicker when he loses it the ball though. That’s something he needs to improve upon.

Or Luiz in particular, who was wasteful in possession. I doubt they'll get the amount of negative/critical posts that Buendia does - that makes him a scapegoat, no?

Maybe so - but he remains the second most gifted player in our squad, and if fit he starts for me. Also happy for him to be around next year, he might have to settle for less minutes, but can still play a huge part imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz didn't give the ball away time and again and quite frankly is a class above Buendia, Ramsey wasn't great and ran into trouble a lot but still held on to it better than Buendia. It's fine if he occasionally gives it away in the final third if trying a difficult pass but not on the halfway line when the opposition can break away and cause us problems. It's actually quite brainless and he never seems to learn from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
