He looked a tidy player to me, WTF he was doing with the dive I dont know, dont agree with that. How the feck Bowery gets chosen ahead of him is a bit strange.

He done fuk all to say if he's any good or not but he's still a better option than Bowery

Bowery was played to protect the right and provide some help at corners / freekicks. He did not pass the ball to put a West Ham player through on goal, totally lose a man or stupidly get himself sent off. He also did not take on 20 people, assist or score. He had an OK game.

When Bent came on, Lambert brought on Dawkins as a winger and put Charles over to the right so we have the crosses coming in.

Seemed energetic but lacked technique of two feet like most players and bit weak in tackle. Showed good touches and went forward with ball aswell as passing fairly simply but accurately. Failed to shoot and did some ridiculous jump in air and fall when in area for 3-0 also same with holding in corner on 89 mins. Would have liked him from start shows attacking intent.

Pop down to Sutton Town guys.

I promise you will see better footballers than this clown.

$50k a year?

Makes an injured Richard Dunne look good value.

Did he run over your dog or something?

Why is it so many Villa fans are just champing at the bit to write off new players?  Maybe he is going to be shit, but you can't really judge him off his first 30 minutes.

I liked what i saw of him. He looked comfortable on the ball and had a bit of pace about him.

I don't want to see any more dives like the one yesterday, but other than that a decent enough cameo on his debut.

Not sure it was a dive , his trailing leg just caught him and he lost balance - not a penalty or a dive in my view.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't a dive either and probably would have been a second penalty had the ball not run away from him after too heavy a touch. I thought he looked lively once he had settled into the game.

I think it was an 'exaggerated fall'. Still not great, but he felt he was clipped (still not a penalty).

I must of watched a totally different game. I thought he looked petrified and out of his depth. I sincerely hope I'm wrong. He's 25 remember making his PL debut. Rooney made his at 16. As I said I hope I'm wrong.

Wow, are you saying he won't be as good as Wayne Rooney? Dayum.

It was still his Premier League debut, in front of a nervous crowd in a relegation must win game. I thought he did okay.

Looked alright to me , we looked a better team with him and Bent coming in as Weimann was having a mare and Bowery just filled in . 

But I thought Holman and KEA looked great early on .

I thought he did ok.  Showed some nice touches and provided a useful bit of balance and much needed width on the left.

Would like to see him start against QPR or Citeh.
