Popular Post StefanAVFC Posted March 8, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2015 To be fair, the 'doubters' have had a point considering he's been shite for most f his time here. Fair play to him yesterday. Really good peformance. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villianusa Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 http://tinyurl.com/ll3kk7q- Read more, interesting article. Charles N’Zogbia is staying behind for extra training at the request of Aston Villamanager Tim Sherwood in an attempt to shape up for the survival scrap. Sherwood insists N’Zogbia’s critics are wrong to “rubbish” him and the new boss tipped the former Wigan winger to get even better as he gets fitter. N’Zogbia has been welcomed back into the first team frame since Sherwood took charge and was in impressive form during the FA Cup win over West Bromwich Albion. Sherwood revealed that he has asked N’Zogbia to get into prime condition and has been impressed with the response so far from the former Wigan winger. “He’s done well,” he said. “I spoke to Charles after the Newcastle game and I just said to him ‘I’ve got a long memory’. I know how good he was in the team at Wigan. “I know what he possesses and I know how scared managers are when he’s playing. "If he gets himself flying he can be anything he wants to be. I really mean that. He needs to keep getting himself fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 8, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted March 8, 2015 Thought he was poor first half yesterday, but then so was the whole team so it would be harsh to single him out. But second half he was fantastic. Made the first goal and his first time through ball for the Sinclair chance that was saved by Myhill was sublime. More of that please Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Very interesting from Sherwood, seems he's given every single player in the squad their own pep talk rather than just talking to the group. He's onto the fitness thing as even under Lambert when CNZ had a decent spell of form in the second half of 12/13 season he often looked done by the 70th minute mark and was subbed. Has continued this season although of course he's coming back from a bad injury this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Sounds like Charlie is well up for this, pleasantly surprised! This - about time he pulled his finger out and credit to Sherwood for ostensibly getting him into that frame of mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 My view on Charles is that he seems to have accepted he can no longer go past players with the power and pace that he used to. Whether that returns with an improvement in fitness I don't know my feeling is I doubt it, its and age and injuries thing. For the most part of this season he has continued to try and go past players and has failed on virtually every attempt, hence him being generally poor and losing his place in the team even when Gabby and Weimann were barely any better. However in the last couple of games he seems to be knowing his own limits a bit better, he still travels with the ball but only when he has the space to do so. When he doesnt he seems to be making good passing decisions and using the ball wisely which is a strange thing to say about Mr N'Zogbia but it is true. Second half especially he showed very good game intelligence which I wasnt sure he had. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 To be fair he played well in the second half on Saturday. The best he's played in his terrible villa career (to date). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanO Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Not good enough, Sherwood is wrong on this player as he will soon find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted March 9, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted March 9, 2015 No surprise he is playing well. New contract needed! Bit early for that yet. He has shown a little of what we expected of him when we signed him but he needs to do it consistently for a run of games before we start thinking about throwing more money at him, I think.

Daweii Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I think the club needs to refrain from new contracts for a bit unless the current deal is close to expiring. I know we have Sherwood now, but recently the whole "give him a new 5 year deal" has backfired with players becoming lazy and complacent. N'Zogbia has been good in the last month, but he needs to be good for a bit longer before we can start talking a new deal I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackpotForeigner Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Sorry I meant that's why he is playing well. He wants a new contract. As crap as he's been, I've always been expecting him to improve when his contract runs down. His talent has never been in doubt, but motivation-wise he's a conundrum.
