Richie k Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 ok all these people saying his defence is atrocious please give examples. i remember 1 or 2 examples but would like to hear more if there is some. if im proved wrong so be it. just seems that this thing of him not being able to defend has gathered legs in the last few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 ^ Wasn't he all over the show in the Luton cup defeat. Didn't see the game at the weekend so don't know if he was at fault for any of the goals. He definitely had some shockers in the run up to his injury last season - I think they get forgotten about because so many players had so many shockers.

I don''t think anyone is doubting his ability/potential, however at present he is no where near the finished article. As a club we also have to sort out our system to use the likes of him to the best of their strengths. He is more of a Wing Back than an LB for me.

I think there is a quality player in there somewhere and if we can get him going we will be all the better for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 He was awful when he came on against Bristol City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be too if you'd barely played in a year and were still feeling out your injury. It's a scary time coming back from an injury as you know it doesn't feel as strong as it did pre-injury and you don't want to injure yourself again. This is why we shouldn't have got rid of Bennett as Amavi is still a month from being 100%, yet when Cissokho went off injured Amavi was the only replacement for him.

What's strange is that he was actually jumping into challenges and over committing when the ball was at the opposition players feet. Everything good Bristol City did came down our left hand side. That said, I think Grealish just gave up on the whole tracking back thing in the second half. I think part of the reason our fullbacks look so bad, so often, is that they have players like Ayew and Grealish playing in front of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's only had 2 games in a Villa shirt where he showed he could defend as well as bomb fwd, the rest of the time he has been pretty terrible even before the injury 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably you could say that about most modern day full backs though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A38villan Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 We need to remember his stats in the season prior to the summer we bought him. I may be wrong but I believe his defensive stats were among the best in L1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
