I think the main issue is his injury problems. when he's fit and playing well he appears to pull a hamstring and then takes far too long to recover, regain fitness and then as we've seen form. he was ok in every game and great in some pre injury IMO, never went below say a 6/10 since he's been back i dont think he's been above a 6/10 we'll never know obviously but i really wouldn't be surprised if towards the end of his injury or during his injury or even during the corona period something happened between him and the club, maybe he was unhappy with our medical staff taking so long to get him back to fitness, maybe we tried to cancel the loan, maybe we informed his agent that we had no interest in signing him after the loan, maybe after his birthday we slapped him on the wrist behind the scenes and he didnt like it but something somewhere has happened and he's got his ass in his hands like a moody teenager, i think something has happened that has shot him mentally and now he's done at villa and going through the motions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 There has been a few lines in various articles during his stay here that the club has been unhappy about his professionalism and off field stuff. No real details thou other than that birthday dinner with Grealish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester he wasn’t good and we asked for him to get subbed but fair enough scored by then. Leeds and Southampton were bad. Then the injury. This^. He was good in both Arsenal games, and may explain why Dean tried him again against Liverpool. Otherwise he has been average or poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more concerned about him stealing a place on the bench whereas we could've been integrating a youth player and progressing with their personal development, would of been an Idea situation once we were safe. Surely having this waster on the bench is setting a poor example to the youth with his piss poor attitude and work ethics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six weeks cannot pass quick enough until we see the back of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Incredible how he can give the ball away spraying a ball from our own third and then when City attack in the same passage of play 5 seconds later he has completely vacated the space and is nowhere within camera shot.

Demitri_C Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I didnt think he was that bad today. Did some shit passing for first 5 minutes but then was running around passing the ball and trying to make things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
