Jordan Amavi - gone again

[Jockey Randall]

It's written before the game last weekend but still an interesting article on Amavi...

I like Amavi but he needs to cut out the basic errors of conceding silly free kicks around our box and generally getting Schooled once or twice a game .
Like I say before he's like an unrefined Ashley Cole and could be brilliant next season

[oswald funkletrumpet]

I think he is more suited to being a left sided midfielder/winger

I like him but he bottles too many challenges for me and defensively I'm not overly impressed

[placeforparks]

i like him, there has been some superb deliveries, but so many silly little errors and lapses at the back... but he's 21 and finding his feet in a stronger league.

it's arguably a steeper learning curve in a struggling team. if we were winning matches, no one would be overly bothered.

[KRS]

He seems increasingly unwilling to beat his man and get down the wing these last few games...obviously the few occasions that he has done, he's nailed a cross onto Gestedes' head so it may be going relatively unnoticed.

Like many of signings he's been brought in and not developed yet. The idea is he's coached into a top player. He's bought with sell on value again like the others. Its frustrating unless win a cup he be off to arsenal or man city in a few years. Though a big money signing to psg in exchange for zlatan in January would be out of this world.

Oh Dear. Skillz, your recent posts were showing signs of great maturity, much like SoccerHQ when he came through the H&V youth system a decade ago and quickly learned to cut out the FootballMangerisms and flghts of fancy. This, though, is a clear backward step. 

No more patronising, promise.

It's as if Tim Sherwood has no end to his laughable decisions he's been justifying why Amavi is now behind the deadly Kieran Fucking Richardson at LB. Apparently he's been looking at individual players and the mistakes they've made yet players like Westwood remain constants in the side. Guzan will play tomorrow and I have no doubt Gabby will be back in also. It's fucking mental.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I'd love to see his first half vs second half stats. It's like somebody drugs him at half time.

[aj2k77]

I thought he said he didn't want players to be scared of making mistakes? He's talking gobbledegook again.

are you talking about Amavi or Sherwood?

[Matt C]

If Tim wants to eliminate individual errors I trust he's been looking in the mirror too.

Richardson over Amavi. I think tactic Tim has lost the plot

[Olof's Beard]

So of all the problems we have had this season and all the shite we have had to watch, the one player he has chosen to single out is Amavi, who, in spite of some mistakes, has generally been one of more capable performers.

Smacks of an arrogant man making a point about the transfer policy.

I actually want TS to succeed but stuff like this drives me mad. It's nuts. I'd genuinely have Joe Bennett over Richardson. In fact, I think Lenny Bennett would be a better choice....
