Its unlikely, but I'm just saying I don't think its at the point where there is no way back for him. He certainly hasn't burned his bridges - he's made some strange calls, people are seriously questioning him, but he's not overseen embarrassing collapses in individual games.

Something happened to him yesterday because there were at least three occasions in the second half when he had loads of space to overlap in to and he didn't go. He held back and received a nothing ball. 

We'd switched to a back four then so maybe he was told not to bomb on. Maybe he wanted to but was worried about leaving the space in behind that has led to goals previously. Either way, he needs to have the confidence to run past people, especially when there's easy space to run in to. 

And there was a moment in the last fifteen minutes when Grealish had the ball twenty yards infield and was imploring him to bomb on so he could play a ball in. 

In the end Grealish played the ball there anyway to force Amavi to run on to it - he belatedly chased it and nearly got to it but it went out of play. Before any of that had happened, Jack had already shouted "F*** off" and turned his back on it - he was clearly furious.

Now that begs two questions.

1.) Is Amavi being instructed not to make runs to the byline, even when other players think the space is available?

2.) Does our 20 year old playmaker know more about the game than his manager?

I think we've got this very talented footballer confused and tied up in knots of thinking about what he should be doing rather than just expressing his ability - by all means make sure he's doing everything right tactically in his own half, but let him play once he's in the final third surely?

He looks really, really frustrated to me.

 

Were ruining this guy's career 

Shame

What's this corner about?  I didn't see it

Why on earth would you ever put a Villa defender in your fantasy team in this day and age?

People really are only as good as their last game or two on here aren't they?
 

Sinclair has been crap the past 2 games but one of our best players for the first few games of the season.

Got a feeling we will see

Guzan,Bacuna,Richards,Lescott,Amavi,Westwood,Gana,Sanchez,Agbonlahor,Sinclair,Gestede

subs:Bunn,Clark,Hutton,Veretout,Grealish,Traore,Gil

I don't quite understand the people who say, 'I'm going, so we will lose. Whenever I go, we lose'.

If anyone ever goes, we lose.

We lose all the time. 

Right tim stoke game saturday at HOME so none of this containment get into them and attack. International break after its better to have won than have fans on your back i want to see this team start with no gabby do the right thing for once.

A Championship player.Stick with him, and that's where we'll be.

Who has never played in the Championship......

Cannot see someone like Wilkins making that comment tbh. The bloke is very measured and cautious with his comments at the best of times never mind around a media crew, off air or not. 

How do you know this? Do you work in Television? It's pretty obvious Tomaszk's information is correct and (s)he isn't some kid making it up to get twitter followers. Andy Gray and Richard Keyes were very measured with their comments on air, how'd that work out?
