AvfcRigo82 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Id keep him, and just use him as a squad player Id rather have Salifou back! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmarsha_926 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Somehow MOTD blamed Benteke for the third goal by not holding the ball and giving KEA a horrible ball back to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Somehow MOTD blamed Benteke for the third goal by not holding the ball and giving KEA a horrible ball back to get. Yea I saw that - it was a sloppy pass to KEA, which then lead to KEA fowling, leading to the free kick and the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Squad player at best but if he comes off the bench to do what he did last night there's no **** point tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 He's saying that Benteke has been a good signing. What he's said there amounts to saying 'Benteke has been REALLY good, el Ahmadi has been REALLY bad', the extremes equal in opposite directions. Don't confuse him anymore 'Chindie' and thanks for the clarification which was spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry my bad I thought this was the guy who said Benteke was a shit signing and not good enough - I guess after another 5 games KEA will seem to be a good signing.

Stevo985 Posted November 11, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted November 11, 2012 Jury's still out for me. Hasn't looked great recently. Don't think anyone really knows his best position, including Lambert and KEA himself. Don't write him off (it was only a couple of weeks ago people were writing Benteke off). But needs to improve on his recent performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez1974 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Blaming him for the 3rd goal yesterday is harsh. Stevens lost the midget, and shoudln't have. I think KEA will make a lot of progress over the coming months. Many players struggle to make a big impact in the PL in their first season, but then go on once they get used to the pace and find their role. Petrov struggled for the first year; Bale did sod all at Spurs for a couple of seasons (although, he was young). Having said that, I think KEA will become a squad player for much of the season, which is why I got rid of him in my Fantasy League team! However, at £2.5m and not massive wages, at least this one if it doesn't go right can easily be corrected - unlike Delph, Dunne, Collins, Hutton, Warnock, Heskey ...............

Zatman Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I hope this guy is gone from this club come May. He has offered nothing since wearing a villa shirt imo. he does not fit into our new style of play and does not look cut out for the premier league now or anytime in the near future. That goes for Delph too. oh dear. he has played about 10 games and you want him out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I agree don't write him off just yet but so far I've been massively disappointed in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I think he's a good player. His passing is tidy and neat and his work rate is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisVillan Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 He's no sub. I think he needs to be around when the tempo is being set, and play his part in it. Chucking him into an already established game certainly didn't suit him yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodigan Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 there was one moment about 10 minutes from the end, where, i think it was valencia went round KEA on the wing, and then simply ran straight past delph and kept running in a straight line up the wing with both of them in tow trying to chase him down... all it needed was the benny hill music... if it wasn't so depressing, it would have been funny...

AvfcRigo82 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 oh dear. he has played about 10 games and you want him out I didn't say that. I said I hope he is gone by the end of the season. So far from what I have seen of him he has offered nothing. He may aswell not be on the field half the time. - He struggles what to do when on the ball. - Shy's out the way of having the ball passed to him. - Cannot be arsed to make any attempt of a challenge or a tackle to regain possesion. For a DM to play at this level that is just taking the piss completely. He simple cannot cut it. Now yes 10 games gone. I guess he has 28 left to ram my comments down my throat but I will be very very suprised! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelle Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Jury's still out for me. Hasn't looked great recently. Don't think anyone really knows his best position, including Lambert and KEA himself. Don't write him off (it was only a couple of weeks ago people were writing Benteke off). But needs to improve on his recent performances. Absolutely this. I thought he looked good at the start of the season, but in the last few games he's got worse. Still think there is a good player in there who's trying to get used to the PL. He moves around rather well and is often available to get the ball. But he could toughen up, pass the ball forward more and be quicker on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah,not easy with 10+ mins left and United chasing the win.Though Ireland had to come off as he was wandering round doing nowt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Good player for me and will come back into the team at some point The 4-3-3 will not work against all teams and we will need to hold the ball more in midfield.That's what KEA will do keep the ball and keep it simple letting the likes of Bannan and Ireland make the more eye catching passes.
