PaulC Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 (edited) Cant see him being trusted against Brighton. Out the three games remaining it's on paper the easiest one to win. And if we win it we are virtually assured of 4th spot. Then we csn focus on Thursday rest players in the final two league matches.

It’s not only about resting but about having some presence in midfield, we look really soft in that department. Brighton will be pressing so we can’t just lose the midfield battle.

I think he could well improve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Diaby and Rogers need have to do their bit and we will be a lot more solid. Edited May 4 by PaulC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Tim has big potential, his biggest issue right now is just too many errant passes. The Coner Gallagher goal wasn't really his fault as he was aware the second he moved to Gallagher, Gallagher would slip Palmer the ball in behind Tim. And Palmer was Tim's main responsibility to mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouid be more solid if Mcginn played deeper like where Kamara played instead of venturing forward allowing Luiz more freedom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want him to start but it's more so Luiz and McGinn can go back to where they are best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattVillaPortsmouth Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 How did he get ZERO minutes today, love unai but seriously he has to play some part today when (after Thursday) again we lost the midfield battle. Feel sorry for Tim, gets bigged up when Boubs is injured then doesn’t even get a sniff when our only 2 other midfields are dead on their feet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 What's clear after today is Unai simply doesn't rate him at all. I fully expect him to be sold in the summer with a buyback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the decision letting Dendonker go out on loan even more stupid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City don't do but of course they don't always exercise the clause like with Luiz. What's clear with without doubt the first priority in the summer window has to be to sign a DM as we can't just waste months of next season waiting for Kamara to get fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't add a buyback. He isn't even being brought on when we are barebones. He just isn't good enough for this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alakagom Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 It makes no sense selling him given his contract is still 2027, a good season on loan in Championship could double/triple his value... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvilla28 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Maintain he should have started we need to shore up that midfield McGinn and Luiz aren't working that's not including injuries aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 (edited) The guy on the bench is always the solution. But Tim has looked tepid at best when playing. Maybe he is more of an 8 than a 6 but that Unai brought on Chambers, a guy he’s tried to sell twice, ahead of him says it all really.

Still convinced today they didn't activate that clause is because they wanted first dibs on Grealish.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
