Wurzel Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Since he has been at Villa I believe there have been three or four moments where this promise he has has shown itself. He has had to endure injury and playing for three managers in that time. I have to say I have never had less faith in him delivering on the talent he supposedly has, and I can see him moving on abroad in the near future. Hope I'm wrong and this is the bottom of his poor form and he makes me eat my words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 What struck me was Ings spent most the game trying to coach him, and praise him and coax a performance out of him. Absolute man child. Get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) I'd have been in tears after today's performance rather than the missed shot at the end of the last game. Edited January 8, 2023 by AshVilla 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May-Z Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 His biggest strength is that his striking of the ball with his one decent foot is very crisp. At the minute he is whiffing the ball 75% of the time. I've not seen it this bad before...it's almost like the golfing yips of some sort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvonVillain Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Made sense to play him to bounce back and rebuild confidence after Wolves, but his confidence, like his stock, must now be at an all time low. Dreadful performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterDad Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Simply not good enough - over inflated opinion of his own self worth. Good riddance imo - Thanks Gerrard for binning Bertie in favour of this clown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Everyone backing him up when he was crying his eyes out last week. I was one of the only ones to say he believes his own hype, an his dads, that he should be up there with the best. Unfortunately he ain't and never will!!

I don't he has any belief. Teammates and coaches spent most the second half trying to big him up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 This is beyond a crisis of confidence. Since the Liverpool game every single action he has taken has been catastrophic, not just poor. How many times has he completely mis-kicked the ball when attempting to shoot? Did he get replaced with his completely unable to play football twin after the World Cup?

What an absolute waste of money. A lesson in our transfer policy. If you sell a superstar who plays a particular position, you know what your team is then missing? a superstar who plays that position. Not three average players who don't play that position 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Had the opportunity to make it 2-0 just before half time but tried to control with his left foot, then slipped over. Pretty much sums his time at Villa to date. I would look to move him on in the summer, and replace with someone of UE’s choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then it’s hoping that said superstar works out for us and/or doesn’t play Ben Mee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I dunno, I think there's a good player there. Wouldn't drop him just yet or want him shipped off. He'll come good, have hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
