ROTTERDAM1982 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 He's OK, but hes not that good that you reorganize the whole team to accommodate him.Has got a good cross on him, and good feet, but he is slow off the mark, and Jarvis destroyed him at times.

PaulC Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I still think we look a better team with him in it. We lost a lot of our creativity without him. he can play as right wing back like yesterday with a 3 man defence offering protection or have Bacuna as right sided midfield player with a back four.

Danwichmann Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 No way Lambert would ever line up the team with Lowton at RM. It's just not the way we play. People seem to be overreacting as always. Lowton was mediocre but suddenly saying he is not a RB is silly. Last season he was one of our best defenders and people were even discussing England possibilities. Not saying he's not a RB, as you say he was excellent last season. But he does need to recover his form and that can be hard while not playing. Maybe a few games in midfield and he'll find that form again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because Lambert wouldn't do it, doesn't mean that he wouldn't excel further forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonno_2004 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 What a load of bullsh*t over-reactions (not that it's surprising). Not having the best of starts to a season but that doesn't eradicate the shifts he put in last year. Give him a bit of time to find his form again; we're not exactly suffering when we've found a capable stop-gap in Bacuna. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I like the idea of both Bacuna and Lowton on the right, Lowts put in some decent crosses yesterday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I'd rather have him in midfield than Bacuna. He put in one or two top class deliveries yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Jamie Redknapp was saying lowton would be an england right back as recently as the liverpool game and hes obviously not the only one. He got dropped and replaced and now he has to fight to get back in, thats it. Its not his career over and now hes suddenly shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got dropped and replaced and now he has to fight to get back in, thats it. Its not his career over and now hes suddenly shit. I agree he's got the potential to play RB for England. But Lowton is stronger going forward than he is defensively. In a poor team (Villa) that is under pressure a lot of the game I prefer having Bacuna at RB as we look more solid that way. But for me we desperately miss his creativity/link up play/crosses and I'd have had him playing instead of Weimann wide right weeks ago. However, if you were to put Lowton at RB for England, Man U etc I really don't think he'd look out of place. Lowton's one of the first names on the teamsheet for me and I think it's been a joke that he's been out the team (even the squad) while people like Weimann have been picked regardless of form.

Danwichmann Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Just a thought, I would what his corners would be like? Think he took some last season and they weren't great. No worse than westwood but not the answer to that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely i think last season he and wiemann linking up on that side was great and matty whipped in some great crosses and i think we've missed that lately although obviously bacuna has done well there he doesnt really have that to his game as far as ive seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
