BigAl Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Can't fault the kid, each time he has come on he has worked hard, chases the ball, tries to hold play up, run a people and shoot. He's done a lot more than others in the little time he has had on the pitch. Your right he is trying a lot harder than more senior players.

ryanvilla_1994 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Should give him a start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_D Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 It is a tough one imo. He already seems to have a swagger about him, like he has already made it when he has not. The guy has potential no doubt, that is why we should have sent him out on loan at the start of the season. Start him against Chelsea? Not on his own up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Needs to start against Chelsea along with Delph Agreed he should be our main striker now i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasley14 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Has very good close ball control which puts him in the minority in our team im affraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellyoakvilla Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 He's good on the ball but shit at what he's supposed to be doing - scoring goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 He's good on the ball but shit at what he's supposed to be doing - scoring goals He's had zero service and mostly cameo appearances, you've can't expect him to be banging them in to be fair. His goal against Blackpool shows that if you give him an opportunity he does have the quality to finish them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carew_villa Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 He's good on the ball but shit at what he's supposed to be doing - scoring goals What exactly do you base that on? He's barely played for Villa and everytime he plays he looks dangerous. He scores a lot of goals in the reserves and I seem to remember he scored a good goal vs Zilina on his debut, scored against Hamburg and has scored against teams in the FA Cup and also scored 2 against Blackpool. I just don't see how you can say that when he has scored a few goals and in the games he hasn't scored, he hasn't had one chance apart from the Fulham game but that was probably just because he was nervous on his Premier League debut. He has also scored a very good poachers goal against Portsmouth last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Yeah, when he starts, he's got a good record of scoring, his record for changing games from the bench ain't great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellyoakvilla Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Well for a start he is very indecisive, he will get into good positions and run forward with the ball - great. But as soon as he gets into the final third he panics and either balloons a shot over, passes back or loses control. He needs to address this before he becomes a regular first teamer. Although he thinks he's already made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 He doesn't carry himself that way does he? He's always seemed short of confidence and as if he's not sure he belongs there, when you compare that to someone like Bannan who tries to spray balls round the park. Not saying it's bullshit but just not the way it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 He is played out of position. Clearly asked to played in behind the striker, when he should be the one on the shoulder of the last man. Gabby should be in behind, Fonz should be the one running on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait until Weimann is back to be honest, want to see what he's got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carew_villa Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I sort of agree with you with the point about Delfouneso sometimes being indecisive but I think that's because he's a bit nervous and maybe feels a bit out of place in the Premier League and I think, given a run of games, he'll sort that out. It's just that he is never like that when he plays for the reserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 He does not look like a very conifident player so maybe thats why he is indecisive. He does look like a bag of nerves everytime he steps on pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I don't think he is ready yet, the kid needs a loan move to someone like Blackpool or Wolves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
