Stevo985 Posted April 11, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 11, 2019 He did better when he came on than Mings did last night! Hopefully he keeps it up if he's there on Saturday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) He did the job for us last night. One thing you will always get from Mile is everything he has and last night that was enough. When he came on I had that feeling which I haven't had since Nyland got injured that a goal could go in at any time. Mile as a CB is great if the ball is in front of him and preferably in the air. Most of the time last night that was the case. If its down the sides or he gets dragged out of position which actually happened several times last night he struggles. I think Bristol will be much more focused on the latter than Rotherham so I'm really hoping Hause is fit.

villalad21 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 He's insane in the air. Imagine if Tuanzebe were as good as him in aerial duels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted April 13, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 13, 2019 I have to say, Jedi was magnificent today. Not a worry in the world. Barely kicked a ball for months and played a whole game in his dreaded centre back position against a very good team who were in form and was just great. Must have used those Jedi mind tricks 'These are not the goals you are looking for" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I was a little worried with him at CB so fair play Mile, very much in control today. It's a nice mixture him and Tuanzebe, Jedinak wins everything in the air while Tuanzebe is more comfortable with the ball at his feet. Great performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted April 13, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 13, 2019 I think a lot of people accept that Jedinak can play at centre back when called upon (such as having four first team defenders unavailable for selection). It was the thought of him being one of two first choice central defenders for the entire season people were unhappy with. Glad he’s had a good game, his professionalism has never been a cause for concern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted April 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2019 So underrated by Villa fans. It makes me sad. Had a few ropey games at centre back in a shit side under a shit manager and he's for the bin. Obviously not first choice anymore, but come the 83rd minute on May 27th when we're 3-2 up but under the cosh and unable to get a grip on the ball, who else do you want in the box eating souls as the crosses reign in? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think many a players game can look suspect in a iffy side.....only when a coherent format is achieved can you truly appraise them....Jed was a real asset in the air yesterday, bit slow on the ground, but when whelan plays the "Pick pocket" and picks up all the "loose change" with his reading of the game...Jed looks more at home. I think the more Co-Ordinated approach from Den and the coaches has helped Achieve that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiltorken Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Excellent game today from the big man, a warrior defensively after a few early shaky moments and kept the passing simple but generally accurate. He's slotted in very admirably when needed lately, very impressive considing his lack of football, well done Mile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I thought he was a bit loose to be honest, but against such limited opposition it really didn't matter. We need Tuanzebe back for the games that really matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I watched a dodgy stream so not sure on this, but did Jedinak ping 2/3 60 yard quality balls?! I know he’s not the best, but has been admiral filling in when needed. Fair play to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Vive_La_Villa Posted April 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2019 About 40 minutes after the game Jedinak and Whelan came back on the pitch with their kids for a kick about. They had cones for goals. I loved seeing that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May-Z Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Perfect opposition for him to play against. Did very well. Lasered some 50 yard diagonals to El Ghazi which I didn't think he had in his locker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will admit he isn't the best Tika Taka short passer, but if you go back through his career highlights, he has always had delightful long range passing.
