Agreed, not been at his best last few games although I do think hes knackered as well which doesn't help. Tried to do too much, few times yesterday could have played simple pass but ended up losing it.

Not easy to defend against Adama, you dont get many worse gigs than that but he was very poor and didn't seem prepared at all. So flat footed and looked like he didn't want to be on the pitch. Not what any fan wants to see but I'm sure he'll bounce back.

Nyland did well and given the slating he got from many when came on I think he deserves credit. Looked a little nervous when putting his gloves on but certainly played with confidence so well done.

Both goals were horrendous to concede. The first was plain stupid not to have one person with the intelligence to keep on eye on what Neves was doing. Great finish though. As others have said the second one was too easy for Adama as Luiz bounced off him rather feebly but the most tragic thing were the defenders in the box who were ball watching rather than tracking the inbound attackers!! Screw where the ball is coming from just look up and make sure you are making life difficult for the players trying to score. Awareness and concentration severely lacking.

Whoever is writing Wes off after such a short space of time... well its just a dumb notion. If these comments came after 6 months of him doing sweet fa then fair enough but let's hold fire and get behind him. Be fair.

The RJW63 Official Jack Grealish Appreciation Thread
birdman replied to sir_gary_cahill's topic in Other Football
If he misses Wolves and Liverpool not the end of the world. Its a shame obviously but if you have to miss a couple of games you could argue its good timing! Any longer than that is a concern though but you have to hope others will step in and do a decent job. Only negative about a player like Jack is that he is literally unreplaceable! We'll certainly need McGinn to get back to his best but worried hes slightly jaded. *Mild panic* -
Yes I hope Smith does rest key players before we end up having an injury we regret. Its a tricky one as many of our games are pretty frantic where we don't have the luxury to replace John or Jack.

Thanks for the video, great to watch! You can see the Brighton players are fearful when up against him as they just do not want to commit and end up being mugged off...which then happens anyway lol. I don't think there is another player in the league you can compare him to and the England team certainly do not currently have a player like Jack, not even close. Looking forward to the Man City game because we should go out there and have a crack. If we lose we lose but we've given Spurs and Arsenal something to think about and maybe we can go one better this time. -
Perhaps McGinn is doing too much and needs to reign it in a bit! Maybe be more selective with his battles and runs in order to conserve energy. Its difficult not to like what he does but with a bit more game management can be even more effective over 90 minutes.

Proper baller is Super John! If he goes onto bigger and better things so be it. Not worth worrying aboutl! He'll be here for the season and then who knows but one thing is for sure it's a win win for us.

It's a combination of things as you have stated. I haven't lost faith in Wesley at all, although have found his petulance a bit annoying. This may be because of frustration and he definitely needs more time to gel with his team mates. Dean Smith needs find a way to bring him into play a bit more as he always seems so isolated. It's not all on Wesley though, others need to learn and adjust play also!

Hey fellow fans. Long time lurker and avid reader of Villa Talk here! About time I joined properly so here I am. From Oxfordshire and life long fan... well since around age 10 at least, which is a looong time ago now. Looking forward to joining in with debate and sharing the highs and lows of Villa life. Cheers
