sne Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Needs to learn how to use his kilos better. That said today was a thankless task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted November 2, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted November 2, 2019 Thought he did well today. Had the better of Lovren on several occasions and won a few headers. Hopefully he delivers next week too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Better today. Done his best to win flick ons and pressed well, loved the burst he had just a bit before he went off when he didn't stop running at the Liverpool defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangeways Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Don’t understand these comments, he’s terrible!! does not win a thing and goes down far too easy!! extremely lazy walks around middle of park and gives stupid free kicks away, officially the worst villa striker ever..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Did ok today. His pressing shortly before his substitution was fantastic, that put me on my feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I thought he played well today, pressed well being the only one up top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted November 2, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted November 2, 2019 Thought he played well today. The ref gave him absolutely nothing all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwdriver Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 god what game were you watching? this was his best game in a claret shirt. He was like diego costa the way he went looking for fights with lovern and van dyke. he didn't get any clear chances but he certainly made his presence felt today was like a battering ram. I gave him motm. I bet van dyke is on that big red bus somewhere in the 50mph road works of the m6 throbbing all over thanks to the clattering he took from wes.

Thug Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I’ve been hugely critical of him in recent weeks, but thought he really put in a shift today. That little episode in the second half before his substitution when he went on a one man ‘gegenpress’ won him a lot of brownie points for me. still some petulance, but to be fair he got absolutely nothing at all from the ref today - so can understand it to a certain degree. I’m happy with today’s performance. Keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted November 2, 2019 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2019 He reminds me of a bank; too big to foul. What the hell this fella has to have done to him before a referee will blow a whistle I do not know. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Effort good. Need that every week. I dipped in and out today as I was working and it looked like the quality was severely lacking again. Can't be arsed with him throwing his hands in the air every time he falls over and expects a foul. Stop that please. He's the one holding us back right now. We'll be OK if we can get a starting striker in Jan, but I'm not sure it's going to happen bearing in mind the money we've spent on Wes. If we can get the effort for 90 mins every game, and participation instead of arm waving, he will hopefully be enough. Right now, I don't trust him. Next two games are monumental for us and him. We have no other options. If plays well I think we take 4 points minimum, badly it'll take something special from others to get any. The ball not sticking up there is going to cause us issues v Liverpool or Dagenham and Redbridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Wesley needs another striker capable of pushing him. Troy Deeney if available? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the roar from Holte should tell him that as long as he does that on a regular basis we will forgive an awful lot. He looked like a £20m player today. Long may it continue.

ozvillafan Posted November 2, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted November 2, 2019 I have one gripe with Wesley: He needs to stay on his feet more. Having said that, even pulling his shirt is apparently OK when your name is Van Dijk. He got nothing today. No - worse than that - he got fouls on him given the other way. Made a perfect run into the box ala Everton on one of our breaks - but El Ghazi didn't see it, sadly. His work rate and link up play was great though.

Whilst I agree with the point, I think I'm beginning to form the opinion that it's just about understanding the league. Half the time he looks like he's genuinely dismanyed that he isn't winning a free kick, which leads me to suspect that maybe these type of decisions went his way in Belgium. I think he just needs to learn that this league is different. But as you also pointed out, it's probably confusing him even more that when he decides to dish a bit back he is deemed to be the aggressor. I still like the kid, he'll learn..
