Vive_La_Villa Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 No pressure. He’s been backed over Donk but I do wonder why Emery didn’t give him minutes over Donk earlier in the season. Was he mostly injured and then getting back to full fitness ? Would have liked to have seen him start against Boro over Donk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will give us something a bit different as well which should make us a touch less predictable. Also my name is also Tim, so it will be nice to not have a rocket polisher as the last well known Tim to represent Villa. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have liked to have seen him start against Boro over Donk. He's been a bit in and out. On the bench for the odd game and then disappears from matchday squad for a few weeks. Really to me if he's being prepped to start he should've got about half an hour at least v Sheffield United, could've put him on for Luiz at half time for instance. Also could've put him on at same time on Sunday as Man. United put on McTominay. Was also only put on at 87 minutes v Chelsea. Sometimes you've just got to put these games in. Newcastle put in Miley at 17 and he's been excellent and started pretty much every game for them in last three months which is some going and Tim has far more experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont recall them giving him many minutes before being forced to give him full games due to injury either. I do agree that we could have given him more minutes since we got rid of donk. Especially in the games you've mentioned that were done and dusted way before changes were made. Bit hard to read those comments. Suggests he's starting then suggests he wants to give him minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that isn't him inplying "he's starting our next game and I'm hoping he'll deliver on his potential immediately" I don't know what is. Will be amazed if he doesn't start after that comment. Also a little disappointed that he's set that as the scene and then reverted to the options that destroyed our rhythm when Kamara was suspended. To those that were adamant he wouldn't play, do you still feel that way? Definitely wasn't him implying he'll be starting then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the very few minutes he got looked really promising. And more importantly than that, the team looked totally comfortable without Kamara. Tougher tests will come, but all in all a good day!

tinker Posted February 17 VT Supporter Share Posted February 17 Played well for 5 minutes, challenged their player for the ball and won it, then played the ball without losing it. Next game give him 10 minutes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Sign of a great DMC kick everyone and don't get booked... I thought he was noticeably tighter on barkley, not saying it worked out better but he pressed him specifically a lot more, had a job, did it, got minutes in the bank 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Tough situation for him to come into but I think he should start against Ajax. Big games coming up and we can't roll out McGinn and Luiz every game CM for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockport_Villain Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Good minutes for him to boost his confidence. Took a little bit to get up to the speed of the game but liked what I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
