Yacouba Sylla

[villan from luton]

He was the worst out of the three today up until 70 minutes. Then he was superb. Copy and paste this into every thread there is.

Maybe confidence plays a part there

Don't know if it's true or not but in a league game when he's played we haven't lost? Even if it isn't true I love him in the side, a player who gives his all is what I like. He's looking like the find of the century.

14 league appearances, 2 defeats. Racists and Chavski home games last season.

It does prove a point, somewhat.

He's the sort of physical player we needed in the middle. Still raw, but he's starting to become quite important for us. I think he's yet to get properly up to speed this season, too.

I wonder how the lad must be feeling. Last year he was playing in front of crowds of a couple of thousand in French provincial towns, now he's at Villa Park beating one of the most expensively assembled teams the world has ever seen. I guess that's what you call living the dream. Good luck to him.

Love this guy playing at the Villa.

The talisman.

And in fairness another fantastic spot from Lambert, even if we were all a bit bemused at the time.

This lad and Bacuna probably cost less in transfer fees than Stephen Ireland's salary.

There's a sobering thought.

Maybe we see his influence more as the opposition tires.

[SoccerHQ]

He's a must for home games, can play a little bit wider than our other central midfielders which we need at home really to narrow the game.

[villan from luton]

He is something a little different to the other midfielders, bigger and more physical. Still work to be done but a great team player

[MoetVillan]

too many square balls.  couple of mistakes each game.  On the plus side, great engine, superb attitude, harrying, hard working.  I thought his best game yesterday, he was plaing against some of the best midfielders and strikers money can buy

[walsall villain]

I think he is just what we need. Works so hard to close down players and a great engine. For you old uns it's the unglamorous role Des Bremner used to do.
Thought he did well yesterday, especially in the last 20 minutes. Note Moxley in the mail gave him (and luna) a measly 5, thought they both did well.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Interesting in those stats on the OS - 3 different players' pass completions were with Sylla - shows he gets around the park and makes himself available, something I feel we haven't been doing so well this season as a team and was shown up particularly against Spuds and 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' in the first half.
Agree that he does a lot of the less fancy stuff like Des Bremner used to do. It needs doing and he does it well.
And he loves the f**king Villa! ;-)

If he does half the job Des Bremner or Frank Carrodus did, he will be fine for me.

[LeeB]

He's shown a few times that he can work his way out of tight spots with the ball.

I think he's got bags of promise.
