I was screaming at him telling him how dreadful he is at that point
Well, that's certainly productive.

I think him and Westwood are a poor mix and that, by and large, he is a bit of a passenger.

That said, he has made two very telling contributions in the past two away games.

Agreed , he has improved of late no doubt but needs to be far more consistent to be an unsung hero.

He is doing better. Just think he needs to toughen up a bit mentally.

Real ones - Fernando is a good shout.

Others Big Kent Neilsen, JJ and of course Mr Paul Birch

I wish commentators would stop calling him "El Hammidy".

Okay, so we all know how good BRAD is but I'm curious, does the everyone else know it?

He's American, tick.
He's follically challenged, tick.
His first name is Brad, tick.
He doesn't play for Spurz, tick.

Every box ticked.

As some have already said - KEA needs to play a more advanced role to get the best out of him.

I second that. I think he's been great.

At the end of the day if they are wearing a villa shirt they are my hero. Years ago we used to sing the names of the whole team. " Karim rises to the top"

I think he needs to contribute a lot more, he does good things occasionally(like the cross on Wednesday) but not on a consistent basis.

Like most of the games this season, the game passed KEA by at Southampton. He got very lucky with the cross for the goal as he had lost the ball before somehow it ended back up at him. I was screaming at him telling him how dreadful he is at that point and the next thing I see is him lining up the cross. In my opinion he simply isn't up to it. He just stands still for most of the game
Blimey, what game you bin watchin'?

Honourable mention goes to Clark, who I think has been much improved this season, but for me the hero is Gabby, as ever.

Quite simply, when he's on the pitch we look a totally different proposition. He's the one player we really can't afford to lose.
