rodders0223 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 He done well with what he had tbf. I think as soon as the whistle went he was straight down the tunnel within seconds. The guy needs to chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Love how he just gets the ball and absolutely smashes it straight away. Those first two shots (decent saves on both occasions) were rockets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) I think he is exactly what he is, a young kid inexperienced learning his way with a lot of developing left to go but there's something there to suggest he'll be a good player when he gets there The only thing stopping him is him believing that he's anything other than that He's not ready and we're using him right Edit - should say he was fine tonight, the believing he's something that he's not applies to us fans too...

S-Platt Posted January 6 VT Supporter Share Posted January 6 Straight down the tunnel after being subbed. Not sure if they showed it on TV I am at the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) Playing for himself today. Looks like an unhappy player. He wants to go and get games. He is clearly fed up! I can't blame him, because he is good enough for this level, but he has a quality player infront of him. Loan him out I say.

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Think the system is frustrating for him. He could be such a wonderful player but there’s a petulance or maybe just a youthful naivety there that needs coaching out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed with all this - except for all we know he ALSO believes he’s being used exactly right. Thought he was our best player tonight (low bar admittedly) and that’s all part of learning the game (away, cold night, Championship team, all your usual cliches for a young South American adapting to the UK etc). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will just naturally come as he matures That's why I'm not overly keen on him being loaned out, I'd rather we kept him in house and gave him a bit of love 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymond Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 If he causes issues in the locker room and can’t get on board with Unai, then it is what it is. But I hope it gets figured out and we keep him. The upside is so easy to see. The movement and ideas are there even if he has some maturing to do at his age. Big. Fast. Hits absolute rockets. Could be a real player for us if his mind is right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 6 VT Supporter Share Posted January 6 I like him but the thought of him leading the line for an extended run if Watkins got injured is worrying 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 He came back out and sat with the rest of the subs. Maybe just needed a piss and to calm down a bit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheVilla26 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) If he can't sort his attitude out then get rid. He's young, I get that, but with that comes naive decisions, petulance and at the moment a very poor attitude. If he was banging a goal in every time he got a start, I'd get his frustrations, but he isn't. You either knuckle down, work hard, learn and be patient or you throw your toys out the pram - unfortunately, I think he's more inclined to do the later.

I'm not sure he has got a bad attitude I think there's an element of that seed being sown and now press reports fanning flames and giving at least something negative to moan about because there isn't a lot else right now It's being blown out of proportion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
