LondonLax Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 he chases down and harries well, sometimes we need that sometimes we don't. We need someone to do that but it should be either him OR Sylla playing. Not both, it makes us too negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, there's no combination of him, Sylla, Delph and Westwood that ISN'T negative, sadly. We just happen to have a squad where all the CMs are ever so slightly different takes on the same player. Delph is the only one who really looks like he could be a creative force if he had the right partner(s) and we were set up specifically to take advantage of his ability - which we should be. On current form, I'd have him slightly in front of Sylla and KEA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Been saying it for a long time. You cant have Sylla and KEA in the same team. Westwood was good today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Been saying it for a long time. You cant have Sylla and KEA in the same team. Westwood was good today. I think you can, but in doing it Delph needs to play and he needs to be allowed to push forward. Sylla's job should be to get the ball back and give it to KEA or Delph, KEA's job should be give the ball to Delph and track opposition midfielders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylla's job should be to get the ball back and give it to KEA or Delph, KEA's job should be give the ball to Delph and track opposition midfielders Westwood is the only midfield player we have who can pick a pass. Neither KEA or Sylla can do that and its not Delph's strongest suit either. Sylla, Delph and Westwood for me.

P3te Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Westwood's form has been dire though. Granted, I didn't see today and apparently he played a bit better, but if he ends up back like he was for the last few games, he brings nothing except liability. When he's playing like he did last season, it should be him, Sylla and Delph against more physical sides, and swap Sylla for KEA against more lightweight ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaguy Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Not El Ahmadi's best game today but he did harass well today at least, Westwood was the best in the middle and I thought Sylla was the least effective. When Delph is back I'd personally drop Sylla although there is not much to choose between them so I'd understand if someone would rather it the other way around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myko Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) Looked like an empty crisp packet floating around the pitch, AGAIN. One or two decent games in a Villa shirt isn't enough for him ever be in the starting XI for me. Edited November 9, 2013 by myko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I can't fault his effort but I just don't rate him. With everyone fully fit I would go with a midfield 3 of Delph, Westwood and Bacuna. KEA should be no more than a squad filler and back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PandaMac Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I'd have Westwood and Sylla sitting in front of the back 4 with Delph in front of them. Don't rate KEA much but he's a decent squad player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Didn't offer anything on the ball today and left bacuna isolated at times. Did win the ball at important times though. Strange one really whether we are better with him or without Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwan Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I don't think we can play with him AND Sylla at the same time. They are far too similar. Good at winning the ball and laying it off but offers nothing on the ball or going forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Avenue Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I'm no fan of kea but if Benteke had been on his toes first half he had a shoe in from that kea shot rebound off welsh keeper. Kea is shit but he runs his shorts off for villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Was fairly rubbish today in all honesty. I think only the paucity of options in the squad is the reason he is getting game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozvillafan Posted November 9, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2013 I like him - but he was very poor today. It's no surprise we looked much better when we pushed Bacuna forward and subbed KEA off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
