Popular Post thabucks Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 The hyperbole is hilarious … he saw the red mist after 20 odd months off the pitch due to an horrific injury and lost his cool in a pre seasons friendly… Now he is a thug 4 life and a disgrace blah blah blah … geez y’all need to get away from the keyboards and chill a bit towards one of our own … And its not as if this is a pattern of behaviour - He will be the most disappointed and deserves our undivided support.. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 To be fair to Wesley, it's Stoke away. They play with chainsaws and poisoned umbrella tips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I don’t even care about the red. More concerned about how he runs. He’s finished at this level lads. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only a headbutt, strangle and punch combo... when he did the headbutt you thought shit hopefully ref didn’t see it, but then to make sure he tried the strangle and punch combo. I don’t think he wanted to be on the pitch any more. Edited July 24, 2021 by Vive_La_Villa 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its no excuse, Wes was stupid and negatively impacted the pre season build up for both teams. A headbutt and a strangulation attempt. Probably the most blatant red you will see. Weird think was the pause almost as thought about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing and that just cemented it but treated like a hero for losing his head. Yeah never got the dublin one 0-0 with the game in the balance and he does a shit headbutt to get sent off. Kills any chance of us winning the game. And didnt even damage savage Yet lauded as some sort of hero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of dodgy or late tackles or otherwise getting carried away, sure, but when it comes to violent conduct I don't think they should go easy. Fair enough. Agree he can have no complaints. Just a shame it changed the training preparations for Stoke and us. I guess we found something out today. I suppose the positive is its even more needed focus on the "what happens if Ollie is unavailable?" question. We cant trust Wesley, we have put our faith in him for two years and this is how he repays it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see us having another player of such quality on the bench ready to go. It's a risk - but not a risk we can easily cover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post thabucks Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 Remember this is why he hasn’t been on the pitch for so long.. Through no fault of his own his career was put in jeopardy … guys fought back to fitness during a global pandemic to get back on the pitch… Emotion , frustrations and adrenaline took over and he lost it for a split second - Mings loses it on occasions - only he will know how much he meant to catch Zlatan … Wesley will be hurting badly as he will know how much he has Smith and the team down, and that more than anything he needs minutes on the pitch … I think it should just be put down to over exuberance after an extended period on the sidelines rather than write him off and abuse him … dread to think what so called followers will be sending him on social media 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 We really overpaid for Wes at the end of the day. A lot of the way I think about Villa revolves around how best to keep Jack and players like Wes arent good enough to get us where we need to be unfortunately. Stupid of him to lose his head today. A lot of hard work done by him and the physio’s shouldnt go to waste by him getting petulant and losing out on vital minutes thatd be better used trying to impress the coaching team that he can be useful in matchday environments. We need someone able to step up and provide sufficient cover for an undroppable Ollie Watkins this season. Keinan and Louie Barry seem better options atm and that says it all really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he is frustrated at the time he's been out and that he probably suspects himself that the injury is going to prevent him being the player he promised to be. I wouldn't be surprised to see Villa sign a striker or attacker that can play up front and then loan Wesley out somewhere to see how he gets on.

Is Powell going to be holding frozen peas over his face for the next few days? It was a clear red card in a league game, but definitely could have been handled differently in a friendly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I think the guys a dud but i know you've to tread carefully here with calling it as you see it ( my opinion ) as your seen to be too harsh. His demeanour is sulky, negative. Thought it the first day the spurs centre halfs absolutely man handled him. He's going to be compared to Ollie. He's a striker. We aren't exclusive in that regard. But ability, workrate, attitude he falls well short stacked up beside Watkins. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
