Popular Post PieFacE Posted August 14, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2021 - he's been injured and only returned to training last week and is clearly not match fit. The overreaction is ridiculous. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't work out what experiences these people have had supporting villa that has created this mindset. We've been shit/average for the vast majority of the Premier league era. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Feck me, sometimes he held on to the ball a bit too long and got swamped but he also dropped into some nice positions in the pockets to run at their defence and was always looking for the ball. Terms like dreadful etc are ridiculously over the top after a shite overall performance and result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But today he was poor - I don't see the point of saying otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there’s definitely an AFTV vibe developing among a section of our fanbase. Weirdly entitled for no obvious reason. We haven’t won anything of note since 1996! Buendia’s clearly a very talented footballer, and has performed at this level before. It’ll come. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas_Mike Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Not going to lie that was not the performance I expected. You don't get but a few seconds to make a pass in that position and he just wanted so much time it was always goin to end up nowhere. That said he needs time to settle in so I am still more than hopeful. Smithy needs to play him where he is comfortable for starters.....not sure today was it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were a Championship team 2 years ago and getting dominated by the likes of Wigan and QPR. I really thought that experience would humble people. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Don't expect his performances to change if we keep playing his as a 10. Norwich fans clearly knew what they were talking about. Completely ineffective there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiney Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 It was a bad performance but let's face it, you could have had prime Maradona out there in that first half and he would have looked terrible. It was just an awful performance across the board for 90% of the game - i'm not going to read too much into it. He hasn't had a proper preseason, is lacking match fitness and is joining a club with a huge price tag on his head and lofty expectations for the first time in his career. He has big shoes to fill in that number 10 shirt after Jack's departure and I think as others mentioned, it really looked like he was trying too hard. I'm 100% confident he will improve as he gets his match fitness and gels into the team - we also have to make sure we are playing him in his preferred position and to his strengths. We need to be supporting the lads rather than jumping on their backs after 1 bad performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 It’s worrying if we are planning to use him out of position and he’s not able to adapt his game to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well all like to see villa win. I don't get the sense of surprise at people expressing disappointment when we don't. Been like that in all the years I've followed villa. Guess it's the same at most clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
