479Villan Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 I agree with @foreveryoung that he's carrying an injury, or that he is recovered but doesn't trust his legs enough to go full power and test them. If Philogene could stay on the pitch (I'm setting referee bullshit aside), this would be less of a concern. But he's going to get replaced by McGinn and a narrower formation very very soon, and if he's on the bench and we're already narrow, he may end up behind Buendia.

Indigo Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 A lot of his best work last season came off the bench against tired legs. I wonder if that'll be a way in which he can play himself back into some form because it's not been happening for him of late when starting games. I know there's a lot of games coming up and therefore rotation will happen, but in theory I think a starting line behind Watkins of Ramsey-Rogers-McGinn with Bailey coming on after 60 minutes would work quite well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MapleVilla Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 I seem to remember him starting the season off very similar last year. Once he started coming off the bench and scoring and causing problems he ended up starting because of injuries etc and he made it stick. He just needs a little confidence and maybe a goal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGeneral Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 I thought he played the best he has played since before the first international break for most of the first half. He was awful in the second half though, but that represents progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually he’s done very well against Hibbs which helped him getting goals and assists which helped his form as the games went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted Tuesday at 19:48 Share Posted Tuesday at 19:48 What the **** is going on with this guy? There's clearly talent there, and he's trying, but **** hell, the last few games we'd have been better off dragging some fat bloke out of the stands. Everything he touches is turning to shit. We can't keep playing with 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam2003 Posted Tuesday at 19:50 Share Posted Tuesday at 19:50 Something going on here - did he just chunder on the pitch or was he just on his hands and knees? Either way not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nepal_villan Posted Tuesday at 20:01 Share Posted Tuesday at 20:01 We can put the injury excuse to bed. No reason to start him the last few games with all the depth we have on the bench if an injury was still the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted Tuesday at 20:56 Share Posted Tuesday at 20:56 Completely short of confidence and was a liability in the first half except for a rare bit of quality towards the end. Needs to start coming on as a sub again with the instruction to either shoot or pass with his second touches as he is getting dispossessed on the ball far too often.

Okay he should have scored at the end but he didn't turn in circles and then fall over like Bailey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted Tuesday at 21:11 Share Posted Tuesday at 21:11 Roughed him up with hardly any roughness, they sussed him out and did a good job on him, he was never up for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
