Callum Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Miles off it, seemingly not learning the league. Will enjoy his career outside of the premier league a lot more. Just want Buendia back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 he looked so promising when he first came, so many incredible shots that didn't go in, then the gambling stuff and few injury issues and now he looks like he won't make it with us at all which is very sad.

Popular Post ChesterDad Posted December 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2023 I believe he will come good - this thread is now fast becoming Youri Tielemans v2. He is a young man, in a different culture and with a recent scandal hovering over him. If Unai is the manager, we all believe him to be, would he really bring someone into the club who couldn’t play? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meregreen Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 If he was at Liverpool, Man City, Spurs, Arsenal etc he’d be binned off. These are the clubs we’re in competition with now. It’s a ruthless game, no room for sentiment. He had a serious injury in Italy, don’t think he’s ever reached the heights he was at prior to that. He was worth a punt, sometimes they come off, sometimes they don’t. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I think I will go crazy if I hear for the 1000th time he will be fine when he scores a goal HE DOESN'T SCORE GOALS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Been poor all season, looks nowhere near the level needed atm. Constantly gives the ball and fouls away. Seen nothing in him to even have a glimmer of hope. If we can get a few in during the January transfer window I would bin him off, we aren’t a charity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vreitti Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 He just ain't a starter at this level (pace). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Concerned about some sort of run in with Diaby and Emery to be honest. What possible reason could Unai have for starting him? He's looked like that in all but about 20 mins for us. So bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former is conceivable, the latter as you say hasn’t been something that has been prevalent in his career to date to give people that belief.

Would love this to be true, but the fact he keeps taking him off at half time and that he has not yet improved at all is worrying. If anyone can Unai can, so fingers crossed.

Keyblade Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 He's been playing out of position this whole time to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I’m in the same camp that felt like he looked very promising initially and more disappointing more recently. Thought he was poor today but to be fair McGinn and Duran didn’t do any better second half. We weren’t great as a team, tough one for the forward players.

Agreed left wing isnt his position but by all account no 10 is. Got McGinn and Bailey ahead of him for RW so needs to do more than today in 10 role to earn a place.

jim Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) I must have missed the promising start to his Villa career. He’s looked bang average since he arrived. Runs around a lot and loses the ball. Edited December 3, 2023 by jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted December 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) As in match thread. It's obvious the lads confidence is on the floor. He wasn't like this when he first came in. He was really energetic and dangerous. Had many close misses and brilliant shots but the goal never came, had a poor half then got dropped, plus the betting stuff. I actually feel sorry for the lad, it's obvious his head and confidence are shot. Bare in mind, Leon Bailey was getting similar treatment from fans all last season. ( And even Tielemans this one ) Having said that, we are in a phase of transition where we can't really afford passengers, can only hope he comes good at some point during the season but as things stand he won't make it here past this season.

villaglint Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Just now, jim said: I must have missed the promising start to his Villa career. He’s looked bang average since he arrived. Runs around a lot and loses the ball. I think that’s fair. It’s all your own viewpoint. For me he did everything you said but also really nearly scored for about 6/7 games running which “felt” promising. Not sure if that was a false dawn or not. Seen plenty of players like Bailey and even Watkins in last years who flit between world beaters and not knowing how to kick a football so tough to judge a player too early.

ChesterDad Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 As I mentioned earlier - this could so easily be the YT thread, now all of a sudden we are seeing a very different YT - is it not plausible that the same could happen ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
