Zero7 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 4 minutes ago, VillaChris said: Surprise surprise that Leicester fan who come on here in the summer saying he couldn't run anymore when out of possession (having seen him over 50 times over last two years) may just have had a grain of truth behind it. We need way better from him. Him scoring the winner in a cup final feels more than two years ago really when you look at how he plays now. Not sure what happened given he wasn't seriously injured and still is mid 20s. Jesus, he plays like a 40 year old, had no idea he was still only 26, probably not even hitting the heights of his career 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LxYoungAVFC Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 He's currently the only player in the squad I actually dislike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I think he is played out of position, he is not suited to the advanced midfield role, he is a playmaker with great vision and passing, should be played as one of the mid two or not played at all.

He would need to be able to run, tackle, head the ball and accurately pass it to his own team mates. At the moment he struggles to do any of those things let alone be able to do all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played as one of the mid two, he doesn’t have the engine to be a factor out of possession and can’t beat his man in possession. He won’t work here unless we’re playing a side completely off it. In a midfield of Dendoncker-Tielemans, he somehow looked slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WooJung Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Other than his occasional through ball he really offers nothing. He played a brilliant one tonight. Pity it was for Calvert Lewin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Not sure if i should actually feel sorry for him... or be annoyed at him. Will give him time still though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 He obviously needs to play more to get match sharpness. So he needs to play for the U21s to get it. He seems so underwhelming at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted September 27, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 27, 2023 One of the most inept midfield performances I've seen for a long long time. Weak on the ball, constant bad passing, no aggression. An overused phrase is looked like a competition winner... But he really did. Was so far out of his depth he needed an oxygen tank.

Who's going to take him off us in January this year or next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) I’ve seen some right shite down the Villa over the last 40 years with far less talent than this bloke but what some of them did have was heart and desire, sadly Tielemans doesn’t appear to have either.

OutByEaster? Posted September 27, 2023 Moderator Share Posted September 27, 2023 He needs football in order to get sharpness - but without the sharpness, he's a liability. It's a conundrum - I think he'll have to start next week in the Conference game, but if he plays badly in that one, he find life biomes very difficult.
