Spoony Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) No way was he knocked out btw. He was back on his feet pretty sharpish, the docs were satisfied and he was totally fine. He was hit in the face with a ball for crying out loud. We’ve all been there. He’s just a prima Donna (which hilariously autocorrected to primark Donna which is probably more accurate). edit: realised it said prime Donna. I think prime Donna and primark Donna are two ends of a spectrum I don’t want to be a part of. Edited September 28, 2019 by Spoony 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings was having none of it pulling him up by his shirt and nobody looked concerned. He is an embarrassment. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 We'd be about ten times the team with that thug Ashley Barnes up front. That's a shame. £22m. Woah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I really dont think we play him in enough. Tactics we play dont make him the target man. To me, we are always looking to score from midfield. Benteke looks shite in that Palace team, they certainly dont play to his strengths, with us almost everything went through him.

It seems every striker we ever buy “doesn’t fit our system”. This system works for him if he actually put in some effort (although tbf the times he has he’s either fluffed it or fallen over).

Spoony Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I’m conscious that it sounds like I’m scapegoating this man but I’m not. Our whole team needs to improve and learn to actually hold onto a win and also our tactics when we are up are questionable. BUT I do actually seriously dislike this guy. He’s awful and he’s just embarrassing to watch. He’s hardly the big beast we thought he’d be. Hogan is stronger ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost the ball in a good area because of it. Wish he'd have gone off at that point. when he was knock out, and we were in good attacking position could get more chance goal, and ref order us to give away to throw in - due head injuryed. that restart ref order villa to give goal kick. it is not right thing to do, we could restart in advanced area could to bond to happen to goal.

vandaq Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 He looks pretty poor at times. I feel there is a decent player in there but a bit disappointed. However, his theatrics is far worse IMO. Really negative thing for me and warrants some bench time. Also shockingly bad at winning the ball at times. Simply put, not the player we need right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 What's a bit strange and to be perfectly honest I struggle to fathom, is why we don't play Davis more. Especially as a sub. Davis isn't a big goalscorer, fair enough. But neither is Wesley. What our tactic involves is to 1) use our targetman to bring the team out under pressure 2) bring the midfield into play when attacking. I'd argue Davis and his hold-up play can do a very good job at this. And hopefully give Wesley a kick up the arse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I remember a big physical striker who arrived in England with a big price tag and was slaughtered for his theatrics and not scoring enough in his 1st season Wonder what ever happened to that Drogba guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted September 28, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted September 28, 2019 Wesley isn't impressing (he's bloody awful in the air, and barely tried to win anything in the air at times today), but I'm also of the opinion that we aren't using him very well. The way we play isn't bringing him into the game. There's still clearly issues with him himself - he has the South American theatrics, which is all the more stupid when other times we know he can hold off 2 players without breaking a sweat, he's petulant and sour, and there's more than a few times he appears very lazy. But equally he has a some skill imo, he has decent feet and has played some crisp passes out to the wing a few times already He's clearly a work in progress still. He's still quite young, and he's being tasked with a big step up from a league where most weeks he's able to be a flat track bully in a strong side to a league were he's matched physically every game and in a team that will struggle. And we don't seem to get the ball to him much, we are expecting him to get in to long balls and crosses when he seems happier with balls to feet. He definitely needs to improve, and suspect just getting used to the league will help there, but it's not all him. We need to make the most of the talent he has, or we're going to have to wait a long time for him to turn into a old fashioned big man up front.

foreveryoung Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 The problem is if Smith starts Davis and he is worse than Wes, he wont sub him off either till 89 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
